Wooden cutting bday cake.

Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you, would you like a piece of cake, yes please did you say. He, hee here is a piece ha ha , don't eat it, its wooden, fooled you.

The birthday cake that I am reviewing is a toy one it is available from http://www.woodentoysonline.co.uk/acatalog/Wooden_ Role_Play_Cooking.html costs £11.99p. Maybe that's a lot of money for a toy cake, but this wooden cake is well made and robust would survive many play hours, real or pretends birthdays. Suitable for children aged 3 and over.

This "cake" is a rectangle 200mm long, 220 wide and40mm deep. It is pre sliced into 6 equal pieces.
The"cake" is a sandwich cake with "jam" filling. It is an "iced cake" with decorations on some sprinkles a few strawberries and other coloured round blobs. Looks quite realistic.
This cake has 5 candles on it and a happy birthday flag. Each candle and the flag stuck onto a separate a piece of cake. This cake will do for either girl or boy.
There is a wooden knife provided too.

This cake would be ideal for a nursery class to enable all children to have a cake to celebrate their birthdays. Maybe have real cake that the mums provide or biscuits to eat for a birthday treat that way the child whose mum forgets can't be bothered does not miss out he/she is the same as everyone else.

This cake set out on a plate is easy to cut as its six pieces precut that are fixed together with small pieces of Velcro type fixing. After happy birthday has been sung the pretend candles blown out (they are not really alight dear) the birthday child or teddy can easily cut the cake with the wooden knife and share the pieces with his friends. I have pretended to eat many a pretend birthday cake. Yum yum it was delicious  . This cake is really good for role play. Good for learning social skills sharing and celebrating birthdays. Good for learning cutting skills, how to hold a knife correctly. Also good for early number skills too. Would look fine in a school play about birthdays too..

Yes I would recommend this "cake" and it's not fattening  The ELC do a circular birthday cake too, I think that cost a tenner as well.
