This is the cutest cake ever- thanks to CM - and I saw it in Cooks Corner I think , but it was so darn cute that I had to share it with you all. A great big thank you to CM where-ever you are this is a fabulous cake! Note: I suppose if you have a lamb cake mold you could alter it to resemble a bunny, if you choose.
