Following package directions, mix cake batter and bake in 2 (8 or 9 inch) round pans. Cool completely. Using 1 layer, cut a circle in the center of the cake, leaving a ring 1 1/2 inches wide. Remove the center.

Place the uncut cake layer on a plate. Frost the top. Place the ring from the other layer on the frosted layer. Frost the sides and top of the cake.

To tint coconut, mix 2 drops of green food coloring with 1/2 teaspoon of water in a medium bowl. Add coconut and mix with a fork until the coconut is uniformly colored.

Using M & M's, decorate the basket sides and top. Place coconut "grass" in the center of the basket. Fill the basket with colored candy eggs.

Fold the aluminum foil in half lengthwise and continue folding in half lengthwise 3 more times. The final size should be 16 x 1/2 inches. Wrap ribbon around the foil, securing ends with tape. Insert ends into the cake top, bending to form a handle. Decorate with a bow.
