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)

Wow! Wish I had your baking skills - it's brilliant!! Star

Wooooh, that is one extraordinary, beautiful, wonderous, lip smackingly inviting cake. Toads are fantastic and beautiful creatures anyway, but in the guise of a cake, even more so!

It's my birthday next week...hint, hintGrin

It would have been weird if you’d made it for my dh as he hates toads and frogs, but as your dh like toads and has an interest in fungi and mushrooms it’s perfect. You are a fantastic cake decorator and Should be really proud of your creation. I’m sure your dh will love it.

RussianSpy101 · 12/02/2022 20:34

That is absolutely brilliant!! You’re very talented and I’m sure your DH will love it!

ClariceQuiff · 12/02/2022 20:34

Oooh, you should tell him you've made him 'toad in the hole' as a treat before bringing out that lovely cake!

Lol, someone's fishing for compliments. 🎣🎣🎣

Give over with your fake agnst'ing about it being too weird and just be proud of it. It's great! As you already know 😅😅😅😅

mrsprefect · 12/02/2022 20:45

That is adorable. You are adorable.

OnlyAFleshWound · 12/02/2022 20:47

Yeah, great cake, but you know it's OK to şay that you're proud of it & wanted to share it.

Pretending to be worried that it's "too weird" is just fake, annoying, bullshit.

Aquamarine1029 · 12/02/2022 20:47

Omg, it is absolutely FABULOUS.

Chronicallymothering · 12/02/2022 20:58

It’s an expression of love and food rolled into one. I’d say you’re onto a winner
