After bunion surgery on her foot, Claudia Shead's friend surprised her with a cake shaped just like a foot — complete with a bunion.

Talk about putting your best foot forward.

A woman recovering from surgery celebrated her birthday by slicing off the bunion on  shaped like a foot, complete with ankle bracelet and surgical tools and made for her as a surprise by a friend. **(See the video at the top of this article.)**

Claudia Shead, 28, had surgery on her right foot five weeks before  and had previously joked about wanting a "bunion cake" to mark the occasion, news agency SWNS reported.



One family friend delivered on the desire, much to the woman's surprise.

Shead's friend baked a cake in the shape of a foot – bunion and all – and presented it to her for slicing.



"I was obsessed with it," Claudia Shead said of the foot-shaped cake with a bunion on it, as baked by a friend of hers as a surprise gift. (Claudia Shead/SWNS)

"I was obsessed with it," Shead, who works in marketing in London, told SWNS.

The foot's daisy-themed design reflects some inside references between Shead and her friends, the news agency said.



The Londoner said  was better than she ever thought it would be.

She said it "tasted amazing" and was very thoughtful and funny, SWNS noted.

 

When her friend presented her with the birthday cake, Shead said she made sure to cut the bunion first.



In a hilarious nod to her operation, Claudia made sure her first slice was the bunion itself. (Claudia Shead/SWNS)

The podiatric pastry was a Madeira cake (a lightly lemon-flavored pound cake typically accompanied by a sugar topping) with white chocolate.





Bunions occur more frequently , according to Boston Children's Hospital.
