I made DH a toad birthday cake :-) now wondering if it's too weird!

One of his nicknames is "toad" (don't ask) so I made him a warty toad on a tree stump! It's a bit random...it has various mosses and fungi because we like to photograph those on long walks, and primroses because they're his favourite wild flower. It's a cherry vanilla cake inside (with more cherries than cake as he is addicted to them)

NatriumChloride · 12/02/2022 20:04

Wow OP! It looks fantastic! And my mouth is watering after reading your description of the cherries. I’m sure he will love it!

Vanilla cherry you say?
Sounds delish and looks amazing

This is hilarious! What a bizarrely unique cake! It's SO much better than a generic chocolate cake or whatever. Ah, I really need to up my birthday cake obscurity game. Bonkers totally works, it turns out!

And good gosh you're talented.

@picklemewalnuts

Think I need a cherry vanilla cake recipe...
Me too please!
Kanaloa · 12/02/2022 20:10

It’s beautiful! Totally professional looking cake!

Honestly it is a tiny tiny bit weird but he’s probably a bit weird if his nickname is Toad! I’m sure he’ll love it and you can see the love that went into it.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 12/02/2022 20:10

Well, that is just adorable. Also very impressive!

He's going to love it.

0blio · 12/02/2022 20:13

That is amazing! I think we should see you on Bake Off in the future Cake

Furries · 12/02/2022 20:14

Wow, that is fantastic! Incredibly thoughtful and personal - am sure he will be blown away by it.

I struggle to make a swirl of icing on a cupcake look presentable - you’re very talented.

FatLabrador · 12/02/2022 20:16

It looks great, as long as he likes the nickname Toad he will love it.

Lanique · 12/02/2022 20:16

Stealth brag 😂
It's fantastic op!

Redsquirrel5 · 12/02/2022 20:18

It’s brilliant!

Spud1130 · 12/02/2022 20:20

Stealth brag 😂 it's great

TheMarzipanDildo · 12/02/2022 20:20

So you made that beautiful, elaborate cake, and then thought, “this might be a bit weird” Grin

TheYearOfSmallThings · 12/02/2022 20:21

I LOVE it!

Although it has the demeanour of a frog rather than a toad, but it looks delicious!

piglet81 · 12/02/2022 20:22

Amazing work! Hope he loves it Cake

BookBanter · 12/02/2022 20:23

Wow! This is amazing, very professional-looking. How long did it take you? The inside sounds divine too. Also a fan of cherries!

AlexaShutUp · 12/02/2022 20:24

It's perfect, OP. Sounds delicious too!

Theoldwrinkley · 12/02/2022 20:24

My son (30) is known as 'toad's because he spent so much time on his lily pad (bed) when a teenager. I've just shown him the photo. I have to try and make one for his next birthday in November. At least I've got time to practise. Your cake looks lovely.

Cherrysherbet · 12/02/2022 20:24

That’s great! I’m sure he’ll love it

Mumoblue · 12/02/2022 20:26

That’s amazing! Lovely and personal and I love all the mushrooms on the stump!

Well done, OP. I’m sure he’ll love it!
