I added GUMMY WORMS to the inside of the cake. The kids loved it and had a blast pulling out the gummy worms from their cake, and it is such a cute idea!

For such a cool looking cake, I was surprised how easy this was to make! We made it for my 4 year old daughter's "buggy" birthday and she was able to help make it. It turned out GREAT and everyone loved it. Would recommend this!!
