Leona Feigh just turned 3 years old and loves "The Lion King," so, naturally, she wanted a movie-themed cake for her birthday.
However, Leona thought she had the perfect way to make sure that she was the only one who got to enjoy her cake.
Leona's uncle Casey Feigh tweeted several pictures of the cake, which showed Mufasa's death from the original cartoon.
“My niece turned 3 today!!” wrote Feigh. “She asked for a ‘Lion King’ cake but specifically the moment where Mufasa dies, because ‘everyone will be too sad to eat the cake and it will all be for me.’”
Leona's mother Alison told CBS Minnesota, "I felt really embarrassed asking [the bakery] because I thought they would think I was a horrible parent. I was like, ‘So here’s the thing, this is what my child said, I thought it was funny. We’re just going to go with it.'"
When asked how the cake tasted, Leona said, "So yummy, so yummy!”
After reading some of the online comments to the photo, Leona's mother assured that her daughter is a very happy and has empathy.
“Leona is hilarious and quirky,” Alison told Today. “She's also a very empathetic, sweet kid.”
