This is fun. I bought it over a year and it is still played with by my now 4 and 6 year olds. It is hard to keep the flames up on the candles. I have to help with it, but they don't care! They love it.

After reading the negative reviews on this toy I decided to write my own review. My daughter received this toy as a gift probably nine or ten years ago. She is 11 now. The cake is small but not so small that it's not fun to play with. The main problem with the cake is the candles. The flames are very sensitive and want to fall in and the candles don't always fit in the holes easily. The velcro latches very well! My 11 year old just loved play food when she was little so I saved some of the nicer things in a tote for her to give her child someday. Well, we had that unexpected baby and now my two year old loves, loves, loves this toy. The velcro still works great and cuts well. Other kids like to play with it. She loves to carry purses and takes this along sometimes. We still have the candles but she never plays with them. She's just interested in cutting and serving cake. The candles will fit but will probably need some adult help. Who knows, maybe they've fixed this problem but I am telling you that this is very cute and if the candles aren't a huge deal for you then you'll really like this toy.

This is a cute cake and my daughter enjoys playing with it, but the candles do not keep their lights up. They fall down inside the candles and there is no way to keep them staying up, to look like the candles are lit. We have thoroughly tried. She still plays with this cake set, as it is cute and the cake pieces are different colors inside and velcro together, so she can cut them apart. Just don't expect the candles to work though. For the price we paid, around $8, it is a fine purchase still. It just would be nice if they had provided candle tops that worked on this cake, when they originally made this toy. My daughter has gotten frustrated with the candles not working, so I had to explain their problem to her so she wouldn't keep getting upset with them.

We have the set with the cake and ice cream. The idea is great and my kids like it but you have to have luck when trying to keep the flames up. Sometimes they stay up and sometimes they don't. The candles are wrapped in paper so you cannot get them wet or wash them.

Do not buy this toy cake, it is ABSOLUTE JUNK! It is VERY small, two of the four candles won't fit into the cake, and the most frustrating to my girls is the flames in the candles don't stay up (not even for one second!) I've emailed Stewart Toys and I've called them and I don't get a response! They don't answer their phone and they don't respond to emails. I can't even return this piece of junk! I need to contact Amazon to figure out what to do. Just some advice... DON'T PURCHASE FROM STEWART TOYS! They don't stand behind their junky toys! Their toy pizza that I bought is very junky as well and the pizza cutter already broke. What's ironic about this whole thing is... if you look them up on the internet, the owner of Stewart Toys wrote about himself bragging that he started his toy business due to lack of quality toys out there... I honestly feel the two that I purchased from him are the lowest quality I've ever purchased for my kids!!

I had to put some sticks to keep the " lights" on on the candles.
Also they don't stay firm over the cake.
Don't recommend.

My only problem with this product is it is difficult to get the candle flames to stay up and then when you do it is difficult to blow the flames enough to get them to drop.
