These Nostalgic Easter Bunny Cake Pans Are Too Cute To Pass Up

In the South, there's no such thing as an off-season from holidays and occasions, and Easter hits right at the time when Southerners are sick of the cold and dreary winter (our mild take on it, that is) and ready for all things spring. To put it lightly, Easter is a big deal, and it often features many beloved family traditions. There's enough pastel to put Dolly Parton's makeup kit to shame and too many eggs to count, including those that are dyed, deviled, or coated in chocolate.

While you can always expect certain seasonal treats to make annual appearances at Easter lunch, such as a carrot sheet cake, a coconut Bundt, or a jiggly green gelatin mold, there is one Easter dessert that's more nostalgic than any other: the bunny cake. Typically baked together as a mother-daughter or kid-friendly activity leading up to the holiday, bunny cakes are a classic Easter dish we'll never stop baking. Half the fun is decorating haphazardly with swirls of buttercream frosting dyed all different colors of pastel, and the other half can be credited fully to the vintage cake molds that are used to make the charmingly shaped cake.

To make a bunny cake at home, there are two routes—big and little. Either way you go, here are our favorite and most nostalgic recommendations for the best Easter bunny cake pans and molds.
