Made my daughter a strawberry birthday cake, and she was so enamored she wanted to take a picture of it 😭


Nothing like a 4-year-old’s joy to make you feel better about your subpar cake decorating skills! Recipe is from Sally’s Baking Addiction (in the comments).

    The funniest thing about this post is younger adults just automatically assume that must be an actual working camera the kid is holding.

    If you’re older than 30 and don’t have kids, the idea of a kid’s “toy” camera that actually does take pictures is still kinda foreign and amazing.

    I just made the same cake for my daughter’s 5th birthday and she loved it too! I topped it with a strawberry crunchy topping (like on a good humor strawberry shortcake ice cream bar)

    Oh my goodness I had that vtech camera when I was a kid. I used to play the games under my blanket at night before my mother would come in and catch me. Good times haha

    This is such a high level compliment from a kid! What an honor for your baby to love your baking so much that they think it must be captured in photos!

    I rarely get all “aww” when it comes to kid stuff, but everything about this melts even my icy cold heart. The cake looks yummy too.
