A woman recovering from surgery celebrated her birthday by cutting off the bone on an 18-inch cake decorated to look like a foot, complete with an ankle bracelet and surgical instruments, which her friend had prepared as a surprise.
Claudia Sheed, 28, had surgery on her right foot five weeks before her birthday and had previously joked that she wanted to bake a “bunion cake” to mark the occasion, SWNS reports.
One of the family friends, much to the woman's surprise, fulfilled her request.
Sheed's friend baked a cake in the shape of a foot (with a bone on the big toe) and presented it to her for her to cut into.

“I was absolutely thrilled about it,” Sheed, who works in marketing in London, told agency SWNS.
According to the agency, the daisy-like design of the foot reflects some of the inner connections between Sheed and her friends.
A London resident noted that the cake turned out even better than she expected.
She said the treat was “delicious in taste” and was very attentive and fun, SWNS reported.
When her friend presented her with a birthday cake, Sheed said the first thing she did was cut off the bone on her big toe.
As a fun nod to her surgery, Claudia made sure her first cut was the bone. (Claudia Sheed/SWNS)
The podiatry test used was a Madeira cake (a pound cake with a slightly lemony flavor, usually sprinkled with sugar) with white chocolate.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, this foot condition is common: Experts estimate that one in three people in America has bunions.

“Hallus hallux valgus occurs when something puts extra pressure on the big toe and pushes it out of its natural position toward the other toes,” the clinic’s website states.
According to Boston Children's Hospital, bunions are more common in women.
