A mum has been left red-faced after baking her daughter a unicorn themed birthday cake that resembled a sex toy.
Danielle Adams, 39, spent five hours trying to recreate a cake for her daughter, Olivia, 14, after she spotted one she liked in their local supermarket.
But after choosing different colours than the unicorn cake she was using as a template, Danielle was mocked by her friends at Olivia's birthday party for its 'sex toy' appearance.
One mortified guest told Danielle, from Essex, that she shouldn't get the cake out in the restaurant - and asked that she removed the offending horn.

Mum-of-three Danielle said: "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.
"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.
"So I put it on a Facebook and apparently it wasn't only my friends that thought it looked like a dildo.
"Someone asked me if I was a designer for Ann Summers."
Danielle says that despite its appearance her kids enjoyed the cake - and didn't take any of the comments to heart.
She only baked the cake from scratch because her youngest, Ronnie-Scott, eight, has a dairy intolerance.
She added: "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."
