Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Oky

Even though it doesn't have much use, it's a pretty neat little set. But I don't like the set as much as the idea behind it. Giving each customer a piece of a larger imaginary birthday cake in celebration for the company's 80th birthday is brilliant in my opinion. It's good for display and makes for a nice conversation starter. Whenever someone comes into my room and sees it standing on my desk, they say: "Oh, is that a Lego cake? How cute!" So I tell them the story behind it.
