Review: More realistic than you’d think! - For context, every year I plan a themed birthday cake for my husband. Covid? Toilet paper. Bought our first house? House cake. He caught a huge bass? Fish cake. You get the idea. So this year he rescued a red eared slider from our pool and seemingly brought it back to life. It is now our new pet. You see where this is going. I thought I’d buy a kid’s toy and use it as a cake topper. I picked this one, expecting it to not look as realistic as the photo. I was wrong. It looks even MORE realistic in person. My 6 year old niece screamed in horror when the cake box was opened, and the rest of the family made faces that landed between intrigued, concerned, and disgusted. Eventually we all had a good laugh. Fast forward to after the party, I started to wash the icing off this turtle and left it to soak in the sink, not thinking much about it. To my husband’s horror, he thought a live turtle had somehow gotten into our home and ended up in our sink. He told me about the momentary scare, we laughed, and that was it - until I got home and had an idea. I finished washing it, then hid it in our cabinet with our plates so it would fall out when he opened the cabinet, and I patiently waited for dinner. I asked him to get the plates and nearly wet myself laughing as he jumped. The turtle is now missing, and war has been declared in our home. We might never open anything in our home with peace of mind again, but this was completely worth every penny. I highly recommend!
