Cute confection: Chinese father secretly buys real ‘happiness’ cake for daughter, 3, after she placed ‘order’ on toy phone
- Little girl makes strawberry-flavoured order from ‘Happiness Cake Shop’ she saw in comic book and is all smiles when it is actually delivered
- Loving dad, who overheard her ‘phone call’ decided to place a real order and asked shop to include a card made out to his daughter
A little Chinese girl who used her toy phone to order a strawberry cake from a fictional shop in a comic book got the surprise of her life when it was actually delivered.
The cute confection was cooked up by her father who said he wanted to “protect her innocence”.
Her father, surnamed Liu, from eastern China’s Zhejiang province, secretly ordered the cake via a delivery platform after hearing his three-year-old daughter, Xiao Ai, make the order from the “Happiness Cake Shop” she saw in a Chinese comic book.
After placing the order, Liu also asked the bakery to include a card saying: “From Happiness Cake Shop to Xiao Ai”.
Liu said in a May 17 video that as a child, he also had a toy phone and used it to share his secret worries and wishes. However, only the default song installed in it ever responded to him.
He added that the cake order was just one way he could “give his daughter a better childhood”.
