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)

Love it!!!

Given half the country get
a random generic caterpillar cake for their birthday, I don't think there's anything weird about a lovely personal toad cake.

You're very talented.

You are very talented! What a lovely, thoughtful cake!

PutOnAHappyFace · 12/02/2022 21:25

I'm so jealous of your talent, it's brilliant. I hope he loves it,

Weatherwax13 · 12/02/2022 21:27

That's an awesome cake. When someone goes to a lot of trouble to do something just right for you it's a lovely feeling

DukeofEarlGrey · 12/02/2022 21:34

ahh, it's brilliant OP! Hope you have a wonderful day

SpongebobsPants · 12/02/2022 21:37

Ah, come on. You just wanted to show off. That's a fantastic cake!

blyn72 · 12/02/2022 21:38

The cake is great!

Moonface123 · 12/02/2022 21:40

It is a work of art, my sons would have been over the moon with this, it is so adorable.

IsItTooHotInHere · 12/02/2022 21:41

You've got a real talent there, OP. Do you make cakes for a living? If not, you should.

MallampatiCatty · 12/02/2022 21:44

That cake is absolutely fantastic! I love the theme!

BigFatLiar · 12/02/2022 21:45

If the question is will you DH like the cake as his birthday cake and get the joke, we'll that depends on him, we don't know. Hopefully he'll appreciate the reference, I doubt you'd have made it if you didn't think he would.

He should certainly appreciate the skill it's amazing.

Bran21 · 12/02/2022 21:46

Totally awesome!!!!! We need pictures of when you cut inside . I'm drooling thinking about it!

Indoctro · 12/02/2022 21:46

Wow I'd be chuft to bits to get given that cake. It's fabulous Smile

PragmaticWench · 12/02/2022 21:51

How did you make the fungi on the sides OP, is that white chocolate? Also how did you make the scattered dark green tiny pieces?

MadMadMadamMim · 12/02/2022 21:54

Looks great! My nickname isn't Toad - but I'd be chuffed with a cake like that!

CarrieMoonbeams · 12/02/2022 22:16

Hmm, AIBU to give myself the nickname Toad, in the hope that @sadpapercourtesan sees this and makes me an identical cake for my birthday in November? WANT!!

WeeWeeMe · 12/02/2022 22:36

I'm sorry but I think that's a frog! I'll have to confiscate it.

Newestname002 · 12/02/2022 22:39

What a fabulous cake - you are so talented! I'd love one with a dragon on top - for so many reasons! 🌹

MondeoFan · 12/02/2022 22:45

It's a personal cake and a lovely one at that. I'd be over the moon if I were him

Extratoebeans · 12/02/2022 22:46

Oh wow that is absolutely amazing! I would honestly be so over the moon if someone made me that cake, especially a cake that's so different and full of meaning. Dont ever be ashamed of your cakes 🤣
