Oh my goodness how cute is this cake.  Not only cute but super duper easy to make too.. Ingredients: your favourite cake your favourite icing Kit Kat bars (I bought 3 packs of 8 of the snack size) Sweetened coconut flakes (I used about 1/3 to 1/2 of a 14 oz. bag) Green food colouring Cadbury Mini Eggs ribbon Directions: 1. Bake your favourite cake recipe for a two-layer, 8" or 9" cake. (For this cake, I used Duncan Hines yellow cake mix.) Make sure to even out your layers so there's some room left at the top for your coconut. 2. Frost with your favourite icing. (For this cake, I used Duncan Hines chocolate icing.) 3.

Be careful when needling not to over do it in any one area as this can break down the Styrofoam form inside and make your finished egg misshapen. Continue adding additional stripes and needling them into place. Step 3: Wet felting/fulling Fill your sink with hot water (as hot as you can comfortably put your hands into.) Gently immerse egg and “squish” water t...
