A MUM has taken to TikTok to share the unique birthday ‘cake’ she surprised her daughter with for her 18th – and people are now desperate to recreate it themselves.
Content creator @mummy_gascoigne regularly shares life updates and entertaining videos with her 650,000 followers.
In a new video, she shares how rather than getting her daughter Jasmine a standard birthday cake, she instead splashed out on a huge takeaway bundle.
During the 23-second video, the mum is seen laying two large Domino’s pizza boxes at the bottom.
On top of those, she lays two smaller Domino’s Pizza boxes, possibly filled with sides or garlic bread.
She also adds 19 KFC boxes to the stack and arranges two McDonald’s Mayo Chicken burgers and three Cheeseburgers in front.
Next, she lays four boxes of McDonald’s fries on top and arranges a selection of dips in front of the ‘banquet’.
Finally, she decorates the takeaway bundle with gold and silver candles, before placing ‘18’ ones on top.
Below the video, she added: “My daughter’s 18th birthday cake.”
In another clip, she shares Jasmine’s reaction to the creative idea.
She looks thrilled and shouts ‘oh my god’, while her mum can be heard in the background saying ‘I thought we’d go all out.’
Fans loved the mum’s surprise, with the video gaining more than 311,000 likes and 3 million views.
In the comments, the content creator’s followers shared their reactions, with one writing: “I’ll absolutely take this over a cake any day.”
Another said: “If my parents did this instead of a birthday cake I’d actually be buzzing.”
A third added: “‘Another take away’ no hun it’s a banquet. Love this char!”
Although not all were fans of the idea, with one writing: “Just me who thinks £160 is extortionate to be wasting when a cake is like £10.”
Someone else put: “Bet it’s lovely and cold.”
