 Do not buy cheap cake pans.  Buy cake pans  that have are made for commercial use. You may pay a few dollars more, but they will last you forever, and you will come away with a better baked product!  Go to off price stores, and you can pick up some quality bakeware that maybe has a scratch or small ding.

Bunny Games

If you have more than a few guests, bake multiple bunny cakes, split up into teams, offer several different types of candies and decorations and challenge each team to come up a creative bunny cake.

After the cakes are judged and the dessert is enjoyed, send the kids outside for bunny hop races. In this relay race, the participants, who are split into two teams, will take turns hopping through the pre-determined course and pass to the next person by transferring bunny ears or a carrot stick.
