Any Advice on Cooking Rabbit?


Earlier this Spring I bought a mold for a bunny cake, and I gave it my best effort on Saturday of Easter weekend; but alas, the rabbit fell apart under the weight of the icing. It was death by frosting. Today I tried again (with the questionable help of two assistants). This time the cake held together, but I only used frosting to hold the two halves together. My rabbit looked  nothing like the picture on the package; he was rather pathetic. Before trying the third time, I thought I’d solicit ideas.

Butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, eggs, etc.
No, that's not blood on her finger. I was watching them carefully.
We all need help.
