We’ve all been there.

We want a special cake for our child.

We know that we are terrible at baking. We know that we even burn the toast.

In a blog post on 17 March 204, she speaks about making the cake for her daughter's birthday with some detailed instruction on how she got to the finished product. (You can read more here.)

McGreevy Cakes took to their Facebook page to post a comment on the "disaster Elsa" as many Reddit users referred to the cake, because as it turns out, the cake was made for a very special reason:

And one of her followers replied. The baker of the cake.
