Mum Elizabeth, from said: 'It was Wyatt's first experience with cake and needless to say he obviously loved it.

'Wyatt definitely gets his sweet tooth from his daddy.

'He has never seen anyone go head first into a cake so I have no clue why he decided to eat it this way. 

Having registered that first magical sugary taste, Wyatt proceeds to push his face fully into the cake before lifting the whole dish up to his mouth

As icing and chunks of cake fall on to his high chair, attempts to clear up are mistaken as food theft and Wyatt pushes the hands away

'It was hilarious and his birthday so we let him do his thing.

'He even managed to get bits up his nose.

'Shortly after we stopped filming it we took him straight to a bath.'  

Wayne clearly enjoyed the cake a lot, managing to get bits up his nose and all over his face
