A mum was left mortified after baking her daughter a birthday cake that her friends say resembled a sex toy.
Danielle Adams, 39, from Essex spent five hours trying to replicate a unicorn-themed cake that her daughter Olivia, 14, had seen in the supermarket.
It was only when the mum-of-three unveiled her work during her daughter's birthday meal that friends mocked her for its sex toy appearance.
Danielle, for one, didn't see the resemblance. "I didn't think it looked rude at all and I couldn't believe it when my friends who turned up to the meal did," she said.

"We'd gone out for a birthday meal to a restaurant, and there were 14 of us.
"My friends were insisting that I didn't take it out - they found it hilarious, asking whether they should sit on it or eat it. They went as far as to say that they felt wrong eating it.
Danielle then decided to put photos of the cake on Facebook to see what others thought of her creation, and realised the feeling was universal.

"Someone asked me if I was a designer for Ann Summers," said the mum.
Despite the reaction, Danielle said she thinks her kids enjoyed the cake, and didn't take her friends' critique of the cake to heart.
She added: "I only baked it because Ronnie-Scott, eight, has a diary intolerance and I wanted him to enjoy the cake so I created my own dairy-free option.

"But my love for my kids, Olivia, Ronnie-Scott, and Tommy, 17, is exactly why I tried to make it - I'm no Mary Berry, but at least the cake didn't have a soggy bottom!
"They said it was tasty and Olivia thought it was wonderful - I just try my hardest for my kids and despite what my friends and the people online all thought, I was deadly serious.
"I did think some of the comments were absolutely hilarious though as someone asked if I'd posted 'uniporn' on Facebook and some people even asked if I was making any more.
"People asked if it was for a hen party or something similar, but at the end of the day, at least my daughter loved it and didn't see anything other than the unicorn she'd asked for."
