Bunny Peeps M&M Cake. Dancing Off The Sugar High With Some Voodoo Bunny.

Isn’t this cake sweet?

Quite literally, it is. But, so adorable, too.

I used one of my favorite cakes, an unbelievably wonderful strawberry one. Very easy to make as it starts with a mix. It is heavenly with cream cheese icing. I’d definitely urge you to give it a try, but your favorite cake would stand in just fine.
