According to BuzzFeed, Ewan's parents, Russell and Belinda Munro, worked together to create the epic Optimus Prime cake, which actually transforms. Russell built a "skeleton" using a 3D printer and powered the dessert's transformation using two motors. Belinda, meanwhile, took care of baking and icing the confection.

The cake's dramatic reveal at Ewan's sixth birthday party was met with squeals of delight from kids and parents alike. A video of the moment has gone viral, with more than 943,000 views on YouTube.
