The glass crystals, which is on both sides of the cake, gives the cake squishy a really fun/interesting/different feel and sound, kind of like crushed ice. The cake itself is so soft, fluffy, and big (4.5 finger width) that the glass doesn't seem to easily affect/damage the bag it came in. The rabbit looks and feels like liquid marshmallow. I would definitely buy this again or a cake in the same category.
