At this point, it shouldn’t be any secret that I love cut-up cakes. I’ve been making them since I was really young (maybe 5 years old?), and it never ceases to amaze me that a few well-chosen cuts can turn a round or square cake into something fantastic!<\/p>\n

I actually had forgotten about these until last year, when I made a bunny cut up cake<\/a> for the blog. It seemed so simple, but the result was incredible. It has become the most popular post on the blog with thousands of views and hundreds of thousands of pins on Pinterest. I knew I’d hit something awesome – I genuinely love making these cakes, and it would appear that other people appreciate them. <\/p>\n

Anyway, this year’s Easter entry is an adorable little chick busting out of his egg. You only need a single 8″ round for this one, which means you only need about 1\/2 of a cake mix. Feel free to make cupcakes out of the other half (I’m sharing some ideas for simple ways to decorate cupcakes for spring next week, so stay tuned!). I would say this is more of an intermediate cake for me. The cutting gets just a little bit more difficult than just a few straight lines, and there are some tight spots when decorating. It’s not that challenging really – I only mention it because it is harder than the bunny.<\/p>\n

The other reason it’s not so challenging is that I made you a nice little cutting template<\/a>. You can lay this over your cake and then use a knife to cut through it following the lines. This ensures that you get an even and proportional cut so your chick comes out looking cute. <\/p>\n

Start by baking a single 8″ round cake. You can use any recipe you like, but my favorite is doctoring cake mixes. I’ll include the recipe for you right now:<\/p>\n
