Melissa & Doug Triple-Layer Party Cake Wooden Play Food Set - Birthday Cake Pretend Food Play Set for Toddlers, Kids Ages 3+

This little set is absolutely adorable—and it’s been a total birthday win. I got it for my daughter’s 4th birthday, and not only does she love it, but her 2-year-old sister and 5-year-old cousin are equally obsessed. It’s been full-on pretend birthday parties ever since.🎂 Bright colors? Check.🎂 Easy assembly? Yep.🎂 Endless imaginary cake-cutting and serving? You bet.There’s something magical about kids “cutting” a slice of cake and offering it to you with pure joy like they’re the world’s tiniest pastry chefs. I’ve “eaten” at least 46 invisible cakes this week.As a longtime fan of Melissa & Doug, I’d say this is one of my favorite purchases from them. The quality is solid, the design is thoughtful, and the size—while it may look small in photos—is actually perfect for little hands and big imaginations.Would I buy this as a gift for someone else’s kid?Absolutely. It’s cute, durable, and gets hours of play. Can’t ask for much more than that.

As with all Melissa and Doug products this is heirloom quality. The colors are bright and there are several ways to stack up this birthday cake and slice it. There is nothing to break or swallow. It's a winner.

This cute cake. My daughter sings happy birthday all day it’s a fun toy to play with. The colors are cute the cake layers are yellow and orange and it came with a little cake cutter! This toy is very educational. This toy is very durable it’s all wooden even the cake tray.

Very cute, bright color and design, perfect size for my 5yr old to play bake shop and serve everyone cake slices. The stackable design and ability to be "cut" into slices helps encourage imagination. Durable toy, which is a requirement in my zoo...I mean home! Works perfectly with her little tea set.

You can’t go wrong with anything by Melissa & Doug. Quality is great and worth the additional dollars spent. Velcro is sturdy the pieces don’t come off easily and get lost. would highly recommend! So much fun to play with. Lots of ways to play with it and a great addition to my grandchildren‘s kitchen set.

I got this for my daughter's 4th birthday. I've seen this in stores before and we have multiple Melissa and Dough items, so I had a good idea of what to expect. This toy cake is a good size for little kids. The slices, the candle and decorations all attach with Velcro. My daughter really enjoys playing with this. I knew she would as she adores the cake Lego set from duplo as well. My son, 5, also likes to play with the cake. It has a candle, so it encourages them to have birthdays for various toys and it is generally a fun interactive item that promotes imaginative play and can fit multiple pretend situations and a household with small children.Why 4 stars?Like another reviewer said, I've noticed paint coming off quickly. This is not the case with other toys from this brand. It isn't a huge amount of paint, it doesn't bother me too much because my kids no longer put everything in their mouths all the time. But this is a consideration.Also, the box it comes in is sturdy cardboard. But M&D have so many toys that come in wood boxes, why not this one? And the box has no lid. This isn't a terrible thing, but I wish it came in a box that was easy to store and transport with a lid.

I gave this to my granddaughter on her 3rd birthday and it was a huge hit. Almost immediately, she started serving the family pieces of her "Birthday Cake". It was so cute!This toy is made well, as most Melissa & Doug toys are, with velcro buttons to hold the pieces together, yet separate quite easily. It is colorfully painted and includes the red striped candle on top to make it especially fun! The layers can be added or served separately, as my granddaughter did. The serving spatula helps develop balance and dexterity as they pick the pieces up and serve their "guests". It's a great pretend toy for your little chefs, whether they're hosts or hostesses.Other lessons that can be learned are counting, colors, and fractions.I always love to purchase and give Melissa & Doug toys!

great toy for my 4 year old. even my 9 month old loves it! lol the 4 year old has a lot of fun playing with it, pretending it is someone's birthday and cutting all of us a slice of cake.
