Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake
Customer Review: ok but there are some flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter was given this cake for her birthday to go along with other play food toys and a play kitchen she received. She was really excited at first but the reality of having to keep track of all those little pieces has damped it. To make it worse the box has no lid so her younger siblings get into it if it's left out. Like most m&d sets it would be really nice to have a lid for the box because the box itself is nice but doesn't help keep things neat without a lid.
The best part of the set is the cake server, it can be left out and used as a spatula or for serving other play foods.
There are a few odd things about the cake itself. The decorations are jelly beans, gumdrops, and strawberries - not really common cake decorations. I agree with another reviewer that frosting flowers would have been a much better and more realistic choice. The slices are wooden and because of the rigidity it is impossible to remove the first slice with the server, it has to be pulled out by hand and the width of the server makes it difficult to 'cut' others because it doesn't fit in the small crack between slices. The candles are made in two attached pieces, the candle and the flame, it would have been more fun if the flame was detachable so the kids could light the candles.
My biggest concern, and why this toy cannot be used by my younger children unsupervised, is the paint. Like many of the m&d products we have owned the paint chips off in big flakes. Even if the company says it does not contain lead I still don't want my kids ingesting it. The paint was chipping within a few hours. I guess I'm just not very comfortable with toys made in china after recent recalls.
Overall, I would not have purchased this item but am ok with my kids having been given it. It will stay on a high shelf because of the paint issues and the small parts. The server piece will stay out as long as the paint does not start chipping (it seems to have an extra clear coat, why couldn't they do this on the whole cake?). If I were wanting a play cake I would likely look at brands like haba which are made in europe but I'm not sure they make a cake.
