Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Brings out the creative best in a child My daughter loves this toy. She decorates it on her own with her favourite accessories. She loves it. A must have toy for every girl. Rating: - Lots of fun This was a gift for our two year old grandaughter. She already has the Melissa and Doug Pizza set and was excited to get the birthday cake set. The pizza set has had real "staying power" and is one of her favorite kitchen toys. When her male cousins visit, they enjoy the pizza set, too. I expect that the cake set will be just as much fun.

The parts are very durable and the storage container allows for a nice neat pick-up. Not a very educational toy but it is still a winner due to social play it encourages. Rating: - nice toy amazon shipping as promised by xmas :) Got this for my 2 yr old since she loves to sing happy birthday, thought she'd love the toy... well she likes it... that's her tho, not the toy. It's nice to see a wooden toy instead of cheap plastic. I wish it had some kind of case instead of the open top box, lots of peices we're trying to keep together. Nice toy, I'd recommend it. Rating: - Great idea, too many little pieces My 2 yr old got this as a birthday gift since friends knew she would be getting a kitchen for Christmas. It is: ~ very durable ~ adorable ~ fun to play with ~ great gift What my gripes are: ~ Toooooo many little pieces! Candles, and wooden circle to stick on the cake. I put most of them away for now, maybe later it will be fun and not just messy. ~ You can't take a slice out without ruing the cake . . . very frustrating for my toddler. Would ... Read More
