She took to Instagram to post a selfie with the second birthday cake and explained it was not as simple to make as she first thought.
‘Cake making lesson number two- don’t focus on making the cake look in proportion with little to no attention on structural integrity,’ Ms Ardern wrote.
‘There is a jar of lentils propping this thing up.’
‘Happy Birthday Neve! Thanks for ignoring all of the imperfections in life and just being a joy.’
Ms Ardern also attempted to make a cake for Neve’s first birthday but admitted things did not run smoothly last year too.
She posted a photo smiling with the bunny cake before revealing she did not enjoy the experience.
