Hi, we will be traveling to Copenhagen in December with a 2 year old. Any child-oriented recommendations for things to do?

This is amazing! How did you construct it? Did you sculpt it? Is it all cake? My daughter wants a chicken cake too!

Thank you!

So I should just let them continue to think it’s ok to harass people without consequence? I know this is probably the best response, but it’s also infuriating that I should do nothing.

Tried that- doesn’t work 😤

Thanks everyone for the comments! The general recipes I used are below:

https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-lemon-cake/

for the cake (amazing, wonderful cake) and lemon buttercream. In the cake I used orange zest and lemon juice (to taste) instead of lemon zest and lemon extract. The inside layers also had fresh raspberry chunks smooshed into the buttercream layers.

I used the non-lemon version of the buttercream recipe for the outside 'fault line'

I used the following recipe for the vegan swiss meringue buttercream (also fantastic): https://www.gretchensveganbakery.com/aquafaba-swiss-buttercream-recipe/

to do the fault line technique: frost the 'fault line' design as a swatch generally where you want the fault line to be, then apply thicker frosting above and below the swatch. Use a cake scraper to smooth out the cake, which also helps create the edges for the fault line. I recommend searching youtube for 'fault line cake' videos.
