OK, so this is hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it. After thinking about it though it was probably just a mom’s way of congratulating her child on a job well done. The kid doesn’t care there is a toilet on his cake. He just wants to eat his reward for going pee-pee on the potty.
I found this on the Cake Wrecks blog, honoring all the horrible, tragic and funny cakes out there. As mothers I’m sure you can appreciate the trial and error that goes into everything we do. Take a moment to scan through some of the disasters that have been submitted to Cake Wrecks — it’ll make you feel better.
And, on the positive side, every Sunday, they post a cake success and they are just awe inspiring. I’ll be trying to make my son’s birthday cake this week, hopefully I won’t be featured on this site. I’ll keep you posted.

My son is too young for us to be potty training just yet, but this post reminds me of my cousin’s adventures in potty training her son. As her son’s third birthday came and went, she really started to get desperate with her potty training techniques. They were in town visiting, and on the kitchen counter was a tray of desserts. Her son, Nick, was in the bathroom, on the potty, but nothing was “happening.” Knowing that he is motivated by food, she picked up the entire tray of desserts and took it into the bathroom. Sure enough, he started to “go,” and he was beyond excited to finish his business and retrieve his goodie! I guess you do what ya gotta do!
