We all know birthday parties can be quite the expense.

 

From decorations to presents, they certainly can leave a dent in the funds.

 

That’s why those of us who have the skills often try and do as much DIY as possible.

 

First on the list is the birthday cake.

 

This mum decided to do just that when she took on the responsibility of making a cake for her son’s fourth birthday.

 

And Jamie’s son Ben had some very specific requests when it came to the design.

 

“For the last couple of months, Benz has been asking for a ‘cow having a calf’ cake for his birthday,” said the mum in a Facebook post.

 

 

“We tried our best to persuade him, in fact I overheard Tyler say to Benz, ‘a Thomas the Train cake would be cool...would you like mom to make one for your birthday?’

 

“To which he replied ‘I don’t even watch Thomas the Train’,” leaving Jamie to make the best of a weird situation.

 

“So there I sat, Google imaging "cow having a calf cake" and guess what, there were zero results, surprise, surprise!

 

“So as I'm moulding rice crispy squares into little hooves I'm thinking to myself, no mother is ever really prepared for this kind of stuff.”

 

But Jamie persevered and was just hopeful that those in attendance would understand.

 

“And as I'm applying cherry pie filling as afterbirth, I found myself thinking, ‘thank goodness it's only family coming to this party!’”
