Does the cake drop buff remove Easter Egg 2x drop buff?

I could be mistaken, but I think that cake buff just removed my Easter buff

The best part about this crap is that you can't stop the cake buff from repeatedly being cast on you, so there goes having an easier time leaf/box farming. LOVE IT!

[quote=Rexaar]For a buff icon to be removed form the top right corner, all associated effect with the buff icon has to be removed.
Drop rate Familiars buff has 2 effect, drop rate increase and the actual summon of the familiar.
Therefore replacing the drop rate increase with another effect does not remove familiar icons, because the summon is still active.[/quote]

But in this case, the Wolf Familiar icon is totally removed by the pie/cake icon whilst Big Spider's icon remains.

Therefore replacing the drop rate increase with another effect does not remove familiar icons, because the summon is still active but the drop rate increase is nullified.

Edit: Wolf is probably a special exception of not having something that keep the buff icon active

@ItsOnlyDrew: Ah, Mutant Ribbon Pig has essentially the same buff, so it would seem it is safe. Maybe because it is a different kind of buff (Meso/Item vs Item).

[quote=MegaScience]Oh wow I didn't think of that... This probably also breaks Mutant Ribbon Pig and Big Spider, among others, huh? I have both (Got lucky with drops on the pig), and interchange them if I forget to reset their vitality by changing channels. That sucks...[/quote]

Big Spider's icon in the top right doesn't get removed. I've never stayed at Mutant Pigs long enough to get a familiar so idk if theirs gets removed but I highly doubt it.
