I've played with it a few times. There's dust on the sticky parts of the cake. I've lost the two original transparent protective sheets that go on top of the sticky parts, so I've attached different sheets. Please note that I've lost three strawberries and one cream piece. The separately sold Christmas cake has only been played with about twice, so there are no noticeable stains. I will disassemble the assembly parts for packaging. Please understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home before purchasing.
