www.kraftrecipes.com When we were younger we made a  bunny cake  each year.  We started a tradition a few years ago after my husband and daughter reluctantly tried real coconut (as opposed to the flakes from the bag) and low and behold they liked it.  Yippee.  That means we make this cake each year!  I still leave the bow coconut free just in case we have a guest that doesn't like coconut. I also make these  sticky buns  for Easter morning.  It can't hurt to have another 'sweet' tradition! What are your Easter food traditions?
