Okay, so after making bavarois with the mold, I decided to bake a cake with it!
Non-bento #24: fun with rabbid #2 – cake!
Created and eaten on: 3/17/2010
I was looking for a recipe for simple sponge cake and I found this modified Castella sponge cake recipe. Regular Castella only uses egg, flour, sugar and honey, but this one uses a little bit of butter. Castella was originally brought to Nagasaki by missionaries from Portugal. It’s pretty sweet but also very fluffy and moist inside. I remember eating it as a snack when I was little. (I didn’t take that many pictures of this process because I’m not a good baker, and I was not very confident when I baked this… Maybe I’ll do a how-to on this later when I’m confident enough to do it.)
This was how it looked right after I took the cake out the oven. The first thing I did was check the bottom of the mold to make sure it hadn’t melted.
Because some parts of the mold are deep and some are shallow, the surface puffed up, but I wasn't too concerned.
I just cut the top part off to make the bottom flat.
I turned it upside down, and the cake came out without any problem. I was very happy when I saw this.
Like I mentioned, my boyfriend and I don’t like dessert that’re too sweet, so instead of covering the cake with icing, I decided to use powdered sugar. I put jam inside his mouth, and used Maraschino cherries for his crazy red eyes.
Because the jam was organic, it was a bit darker than I wanted. So I removed some and sprinkled red colored sugar. I also used pink colored sugar for his ears.
This was what the Rabbid looked like in our fridge. Every time I opened the fridge, it made me chuckle.
And we finally cut it into pieces.
After making two desserts, I was ready to have fun with the Rabbid for a main course…

I’m also wondering where you got the Raving Rabbid mold. I would love to order one, but can’t find it online. Please share, thanks!
Hi Joel & Anne-Marie
The rabbid mold was a gift from someone who works at Ubisoft, and it was only given to the employees as a part of the X-mas gift of 2009 and not for sale. Wilton makes a similar bunny cake mold. Maybe you can decorate it a la rabbid? Sorry I couldn’t be much of help!
