A Cape Town man celebrated his birthday with a sweet treat from a local store. Spending only two digits on the cake was the perfect cherry on top.

No need to break the bank

Athin Smith, who uses the handle @athinsmith_ on TikTok, shared on the social media platform that he spoiled himself with a cake from Nibbly Bits, which went viral on the video-sharing app.

The small cake, which only cost the Cape Town-based student teacher R48, resembled Woolworths' bento cake, which had people paying hundreds.
