Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of "devil's food cake".
- This short is a retelling of the 1954 cartoon Satan's Waitin', starring Sylvester and Tweety Bird.
- This short also reuses clips from previous Bugs Bunny cartoons:
- In the reused footage, the audio for most of them were entirely remade for this short, save for a scene in which Sam rides a camel in Sahara Hare, which repurposed his dialogue over new sound effects and music.
Errors
- While this was a Bugs Bunny short, the intro sequence lacks both Bugs Bunny's head fading in on the opening rings and a "Bugs Bunny in" card.
Legacy
- The plot of this short, a short clip and some audio would be used in the first act of The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
