Not all mums and dads are born with the same ability to bake a cake.
But some parents, like Jacinda Ardern and Clarke Gayford, are able to effortlessly whip up an adorable bunny cake out of thin air.
Much like Jacinda’s flawless leadership, the bunny cake was perfect. In fact, it literally looked like it hopped right out of the Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake book.
Some parents, like Hamish Blake, even dedicate entire weekends to building the perfect cake for their children.
(Honestly, we’re pretty jealous of Sonny Blake at this point.)
But others… well, they don’t quite have the X-Factor when it comes to the cake department.
This makes the whole process a whole lot more stressful and just downright complicated.
In the name of honest parenting, seven parents have shared with Mamamia their absolute best cake fails.
Praise. Be.
Yep. We've all been there.
But the best part is that children simply don't care how messy a cake looks.
Now, get these poor parents a glass of wine.
