Note:
This cake makes a delightful center piece. For an extra festive touch, spread decorative Easter grass (used in Easter baskets) in the center of the table surrounding the Peeps Bunny Cake. Additional jellybeans and other marshmallow Peeps can be placed in the grass.
Please note that some ingredients and brands may not be available in every store.
