YOu're supposed to be able to stamo and trace - the stamps only work with a film of orange plastic - and the faint image the stamp leaves fades in two seconds. . .not fun, not workable as a pre-writing toy - there is nothing to do with it! My 4 year old daughter has not played with it - even when I try to prompt her and play along with her. Not at all engaging. Wish I had never bought it!!!

My boys love the idea of birthday cakes and so I decided to purchase this as Learning Resources tend to make quality products. My boys were very disappointed after opening this toy as the plastic candles and icing pieces kept falling off of the cake. What's a birthday cake without candles for a child? The crayons and cling on stickers don't work on the cake very well either. This is going to be donated to the goodwills soon.

The plastic clings do not cling properly. The stamps fade after a few seconds. The crayons do not show up on the surface. Can not see the writing. Very disappointed.

Our 2+ granddaughter went right to work putting together her cake, then taking it apart and reassembling it. Just like her mother, she enjoyed her time making a delicious-looking cake. L.G.

My little girl got this as a birthday gift for when she turned 3. She loves building the cake for me (my birthday is soon) over and over again. The stamps work fine - I suspect for those whose reviews said the stamps faded fast they may have had the orange piece on upside-down. She really enjoys it.

I decorate cakes all the time and when I was asked to write a review ( for another website) for this toy I was very excited that my little ones will have something to do while I'm decorating a real cake. I agree with some of the downsides people quoted here, but here is the difference- I believe that " what is supposed to do" and " what we can do to have fun" are two different things.
This toy was greatly underestimated by the manufacturer but my kids and I ( girl 4, boy 7) found out that it can be huge fun to play with it, once you think outside of the box..hm, the cake.

Anyway, we tested it, I have pictures and explanations, if you would like to read my review, check out my posting:

Not to mention it's a great practice cake for beginner cake decorators! No more bottoms of pans, people! Give it a try!

My 4 year old loves this!! She "makes" the cake for her tea parties & is learning in the process! Great gift idea for any preschooler!

My daughter who is 3 - loves this toy. I think before you buy this you need to make sure if your child is into letters and tracing. My daughter is and she loves to trace and stamp - perfect for her. The stickers cling and uncling good. The candles are fun and icing too. She is singing constantly as she works. The crayons erase good and the orange writting/stamping pad is clear and of good quality. 5 stars!!!

My four year old nephew loves to bake cakes. So the Learning
Resources Pretend and Play Trace & Learn Cake was the
perfect present. It is so clever and interactive.
