When I was little my mom always used to make Cut-up Cakes. Is anyone with me? In 1959, Baker's Coconut came out with a little book that grandmas and moms for decades to come would use. There was also a 1973 edition. In fact, my first birthday cake was the full bodied bunny. I believe the official title was the Baker's Coconut Animal Cut-up Cakes. Last year I made one, but jazzed it up a bit for Easter. I tinted the coconut light blue for the body and sticked with the soft pink for the ears and feet. I then added a pink with white polka dotted grosgrain bow around the neck. It was so stinkin' cute! Unfortunately, I have no pictures of it. My NEW external drive with all my pictures on it died and I need A LOT of money to get the photos restored for now, they are lost. I thought I'd add the cut-up diagram for anyone interested in making their own this Easter. Enjoy!
{this is the one i made this past easter}
If you're interested in obtaining a copy of this little booklet...expect to pay a pretty penny. I belive they are running between $10-40 on eBay depending on their condition, if it is an original and how close it is to a holiday! Amazon also has several starting at $27 and run up to $50.
