Cakes and Colours
There is no way to sugarcoat the slice of life that this set brings to any party. But when a child sinks their teeth into this, are they going to feel nourished by what they have to build with?
Initial birthday signs point to this being a simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get, and they aren’t wrong. There is nothing wrong with a set being exactly what you see on the tin. But this birthday cake offers a little bit more fun than the average birthday set.
With one simple hinge swing, you can open up the cake for a small party surprise inside. None of the parts here are exceedingly rare. But this is a nice easy option for someone to snag that chocolate icing mould and another kid’s torso for the collection. Party torso too!
I do have to ask why the adult figure has a cake sled. At least, that’s what I think it is.
Verdict
Hey, it’s what it says on the tin. I do like that the model opens up for a clean clean-up amidst a party, so it’s a win here.
It’s targeted at kids, so it’ll be great for them. Adults? Not so much. They would probably be happier with a real cake.
