We never genuinely ate the cake - none of the kids liked kokosnoot in addition to my Mom's cream pies piled alongside meringue tended to distract us. None-the-less, the Bunny Cake ever showed upward in addition to nosotros ever got a boot out of it.

*I've added the perfect, deep 8-inch cake pan to my store. It fits the entire cake mix into this i pan, perfect for 1, plump bunny.
