One of our favorite traditions each Easter is our "Bunny Cake." The kids help divide the pastel M&Ms and eat as many as they can while my back is turned. I should have known better than to mess with a good thing, but Kate and I decided to shake things up this year and make a "Butterfly Cake" instead. One round cake, cut in half, and then two small triangles cut out of each half-circle. Easy Schmeasy. Except that it wasn't. It was awful. The whole thing fell apart before we even got started. Still, it made for a fun (albeit messy) Sunday in the kitchen. And, it led to this conversation with Kate:

Kate: I think this cake will be perfect for Easter.
Me: Really? Why?
Kate: Because they beat up Jesus and he died on the cross, and this cake looks like somebody killed it.

She was right. So, we resorted to the tried and true "Bunny Cake" and Easter Sunday dinner was saved.

Lesson learned.
