My kid wanted the sunken Titanic for his 6th birthday cake


Best thing about this baking challenge is that mistakes just add to the realism — as does the collapse of the back of the stern in the 24 hours between when I made it and when I served it!

    I love that kids sometimes have random, weird obsessions. Good of you to lean into it!

    I would have loved this cake as a kid (heck even now as an adult). Great job!

    The only thing that could have made this better is a tiny imploded titan submersible 🤭

    It looks AMAZING.

    Your kid sounds pretty cool, but you are even cooler to make this cake for him!

  23. Forking_Shirtballs

    I think the janky angles of the candles are a real nice touch.

    r/titanic and r/fondanthate would love this! Also not only does that cake look delicious but as a titanic enthusiast myself I love how accurate it is!

  25. Character-Confidant8

    That’s super creative! Way to make it come to life… so to speak.

    As a 33 year old who’s been obsessed with the Titanic since I was 5, this slaps.

  27. Brave_Management4340

    This is amazing! You did such an awesome job! My son is going through a Titantic phase too and he would be so psyched to get this cake. Love it!!

  28. leytonscomet

    That’s a really weird request for a 6 year old to make. Your kids sounds dope af

    For added authenticity, throw them off the roof and have them land about 30 ft apart

    Holy crap this reminds me of the time my mum made me a pirate ship cake because I was obsessed with pirates- kudos to you! That looks good and delicious!

  35. -vesper6-

    Needs a raft big enough for 2, with 1 on it, floating nearby.

  37. rmiller210

    Where’s rose and Jack? JK. Great job with the details.

  38. No_Today_4903

    Kids are so funny! When my youngest turned 4 or 5 he wanted a Johnny Carson birthday cake, he’s 13 now lol. The titanic cake is awesome, I’m sure he loves it!

  39. icechelly24

    He was Titanic for Halloween last year haha
