Birthday cake conundrum

6 replies

My daughter is turning 5 in a couple of weeks and has told me she wants the cake pictured. Last year I attempted a princess cake which ended up looking like a loo roll holder so I'm happy to buy one this year, but this? Looks like some sort of remembrance cake!
Do I override and get her something a bit more appropriate? Or give her what she's asked for?

It's a very grown up cake, reminds me of my Nan!

But if that's what she asked for I'd try and get something similar at least

It's bizarre isn't it! Nothing wrong with the cake at all but ... I just don't know!

My fault for letting her look through the Morrisons magazine.

If she likes it I would get it, it's her birthday.

I have tried pinkheart, she looks at the cakes every week when we go shopping and I've shown her princess ones on my phone etc... Confused
I might try one more sway.
