I bought two of these a few months back and saved them for a rainy day build. I liked the idea of a surprise being in the cake and enjoyed the idea of there being a jester, I've been wanting to add a jester or few to my collection of minifigures. The build was very straight forward and easy to complete. Like with many of these smaller vignette pieces, there are some really nice pieces in the mix for those that like to repurpose them for other projects. The extra pieces to make numbers 1-99 is a nice touch too. The only thing that does bother me about this build and keeps it from getting a top rating of 5 is the jester comes with no legs. You only get the torso, head, and jester hat. For me, that really limits his playability and usefulness. I understand the cake design prevents him from fitting in the cake with legs/pants, but it would have been nice to have included them for those that want to take him out of the cake. That was a real letdown. If you don't mind our jester being pants-less, then this set is perfect. But if you were hoping to get a complete minifigure out of the set, then let this be a heads up to you.
