  1. Prepare cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cookie dough on a clean countertop and knead in flour until incorporated. (This will help the cookies keep their shape as they bake.) On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a bunny-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as possible; reroll trimmings and repeat. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden around edges. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Spread cooled cookies evenly with vanilla frosting. Sprinkle with white sugar crystals or sprinkles, if desired. If you want to give bunnies eyes and noses, tint a small amount of remaining frosting blue and pink with food coloring; transfer to zip-top bags, snip off corners and pipe frosting onto cookies. (You can use store-bought gel decorator icing instead.) If preparing cookies in advance, let frosting dry completely before storing cookies in an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate any remaining frosting (both plain and tinted) to use on cake. Prepare cake as package directs for an 8-inch, 2-layer cake. Cool layers completely as directed. Wrap layers separately in plastic wrap and chill until ready to assemble. Empty tub of vanilla frosting into bowl and tint with yellow food coloring. Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter. Top with about 1/3 cup frosting. Cover with second cake layer; spread about 2/3 cup frosting on top (use the back of a spoon to make decorative swirls). Cover sides of cake with remaining frosting. Use any leftover frosting from cookies to pipe decorations onto cake, if desired. Carefully press about 8 to 12 bunny cookies into sides of cake and place one cookie on top. (Serve any extra cookies on the side.) Garnish cake with candy-coated chocolate eggs. To make grass, tint some flaked coconut with green food coloring; sprinkle around base of cake and on top. Nutritional information is based on 1 serving of cake with 1 frosted cookie.
