Amazing!!! Such a hit for a party, made everyone feel like a child again 😊 Let the cake cool all the way before putting in the gummy worms to prevent melting. Didn’t experience any difference the next day, still just as good!

This cake is only good right away. If you try to store it, even for a few hours the whole cake tastes like gummy worms. My kids even thought it was too much. So I would recommend only putting gummy worms on top and only adding them as you serve the cake.

It was so good, but the cake part was kinda hard, next time I’l try beating the egg whites before incorporating them in the mix
