A woman in recovery from surgery celebrated her birthday with a unique cake shaped like a foot, complete with an ankle bracelet and surgical tools. The cake, measuring 18 inches, was a surprise gift from a friend. Claudia Shead, 28, who had recently undergone foot surgery, had jokingly mentioned wanting a “bunion cake” for her birthday. Her friend fulfilled this wish by baking a foot-shaped cake, complete with a bunion, which Shead thoroughly enjoyed. The cake’s daisy-themed design held personal meaning for Shead and her friends. Despite the unconventional appearance, Shead found the cake to be delicious and appreciated the thoughtful and humorous gesture. Bunions, a common foot condition affecting many Americans, occur when there is added pressure on the big toe, causing it to shift out of alignment.
