    Brings me back and when I was a kid. I used to love that book. It was one of my favorites! This was not an attempt. This was a perfect reproduction. Your daughter is gonna love it!

    Omg I love this. It is so cute. 😍 I wish your daughter a happy birthday. 🎂 My daughters birthday is in december and maybe I should try something fun for once as well. I usually just make a standard cake. 🩷

    This made me tear up 🥺. I remember reading this book to death. I couldn’t get enough of it. Seeing it still being popular and passed down to a younger generation makes me so happy. It’s a beautiful cake 😊.

    This is the absolute most cutest, sweetest thing ever and it is a core memory that she will be talking about for her entire life.
