Let me start by saying this watermelon-shaped acrylic topper is ADORABLE. The vibrant colors and '3' design made it the star of my niece's Cocomelon-themed party. At 5.9" wide, it perfectly decorated her 8-inch cake without overwhelming it.
The packaging deserves praise - arrived securely wrapped with no scratches. However, here's the big BUT... The thin plastic stick snapped immediately when I tried inserting it into the cake! I had to MacGyver a solution using wooden skewers and edible glue.
PROS: Super cute design that photographs beautifully • Reusable keepsake • Fits standard cake sizes • True to product images • Great for tropical/Cocomelon themes
CONS: Fragile insertion stick (handle like antique glass!) • Slightly overpriced for acrylic • Number isn't removable for reuse on other birthdays
TIP: If yours arrives intact, insert the stick at a slight angle for stability. We ended up displaying it next to the cake instead - still got tons of compliments!
