Can you believe that in all my days of planning, I was still without a plan for a wedding cake with less than a month to go?
Neither Mr. Bunny nor I have ever been too keen on cake, so we planned on having a homemade cookie bar instead. Mama Bunny, however, insisted we at least have a cake to cut. My original idea was to buy one of those tasty frozen Pepperidge Farm coconut cakes. They’re beautiful, romantic-looking and SUPER tasty!
MMM … I really want a bite of this right now!
The main requirement for our cake, though, was that it fit on the antique cake stand my grandmother gave me.
Pretty, no?
Unfortunately, I failed to take into account two important facts. First, the cake plate is round. The Pepperidge Farm cake is square. Second, the Pepperidge Farm cake is much smaller than my cake plate. It looked a little silly.
So pretty … and yet, so awkward. Like a little kid trying on her mom’s high heels. “Aww, sweetie! You’re just a leeeetle too small for those shoes!”
But soooo delicious! I got to eat the cake, so this experiment wasn’t a total failure. 
For a brief moment, I considered looking up the recipe and making a coconut cutting cake myself. Then I realized how in-freaking-sane that idea was. You ladies who make your own cakes get my utmost respect, because I knew I would be in no shape to be baking a cake a few days out from the wedding.
Instead, I started to look for an alternative …
Next up, I search for a cake design, a cake baker, and cake to feed our guests at our wedding, which is now three weeks away. Sheesh. Procrastinate much, Bunny?
Can she do it? Stay tuned to find out!
i was so excited for a second… i thought that this was your wedding getaway car. i brought that up to my fiancee, and there was no delorean to be found… sigh.
@Stephanie Shen: Haha, sorry to disappoint, Steph! That would have been awesome, though. I wish I knew someone with a delorean!
Mmmm cake, you have me in suspense…
@bunny & @Stephanie Shen: Mr Frenchie would have DIED if I got a Delorean as our getaway car!
Just put some FLOWERS around it!!! Decorate it! I think with some decorations, you could be able to hide the fact that it’s rectangle. 
AND perhaps put it on something to elevate it so it’s a bit higher… and THEN put even more flowers around it to hide the “base”
I mean. The next time. You wanna put a rectangle cake on a round cake stand. [Sorry I got excited]
Yum. Hope you found a coconut one. I luuuurve coconut!
have you had that same cake in lemon or chocolate? also equally delicious!
I love the rectangular cake on the round plate, it’s great. I agree, add some flowers and you’re all set!
I agree on the flower idea, that cake is way too pretty to pass up so easily!
1.21 GIGAWATTS?!
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for not having a coconut cake. Blarg!
Those cakes are great! I like the idea of putting flowers around it! It would look cute
That cake does look tasty! =) Too bad it didn’t fit on the cake plate.
Yum, that coconut cake looks delish. Too bad it didn’t look right on the round cake stand. Can’t wait to see what you came up with!
Pep Farm rocks my socks 
And is also a very bad idea that they have a company store outside of their plant near Reading, PA that sells their “off products”. This means you can buy a whole grocery bag of milanos that are off center, too much chocolate, etc for like $2.00!!!!!

Mrs. Bunny, Columbus Age and Occupation: 24, Associate Editor/Reporter Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Reporter Engagement Date: September 23, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2009 Venue: Everal Barn, Westerville About Me: Organized, but messy. I love art (all kinds). I don't have any secrets. I talk a lot and listen even more. I show love by baking. I'm timid by nature, but brave when it counts. Mr. Bunny and I work at competing weekly newspapers, which makes it a little interesting trying to describe our work joys and frustrations without giving away too much before the paper comes out. In spite of that little hurdle, we've managed to build a pretty solid relationship in the short one-and-a-half years we will have been together when we tie the knot. I can't wait!
