Easter Bunny Layered Cake Recipe

I often find myself scrounging the racks of Sur la Table for cute plates, cookie cutters, & new tools to use in recipes. So, it wasn't odd for me to pick up these adorable mini bunny glasses. What was odd were all the possible things I thought they were intended for.

Were they fancy Easter shot glasses? Decorative snack holders? Somehow a napkin holder that I would never be able to figure out? 

I finally realized, "Ah ha! They must be layered cake displays!" to which I realized, that sort of product doesn't even exist. So I went ahead & purchased these adorable bunny glasses with total intent to create layered Easter cake within them, only to find out they are candle holders...
