Most people would be delighted to receive a money cake for their birthday, but if a loved one gives them a multi-tiered cake worth thousands, we can only imagine their joy.
This happened to one very lucky Malaysian woman, whose “beloved sister” gifted her with a cake made up of RM52,000 (S$16,500) in bills.

Ms Vivian Tong posted a photo of herself on Instagram on June 19 hugging the enormous money cake, which had been given by her younger sister, Ms Coco Tong.
“Grateful for the unexpected surprise,” she wrote in Chinese.
In another photo, the two sisters stand back to back beside the cake.
Ms Vivian also posted a video of the cake being brought. Over it, she wrote, “Money cake RM52 thousand from beloved sister. Thanks (sic) you sister.”
Ms Coco also featured the cake on her own Instagram account.
Malaysia’s SAYS.com quotes Ms Vivian as saying she “was amazed and delighted” to have received the money cake.
The sisters are co-founders of Kireina International, a health and beauty product company.
Ms Vivian is also the company’s chief executive officer.
SAYS added that the amount of RM52,000 is significant because it has come to be synonymous with “I love you” in Mandarin.
After the birthday party, Ms Vivian and her loved ones who celebrated with her had to take the tiers apart, so she could take them home.
And while that probably only took a short while, removing the carefully placed bills from the cake formation and taking away the tape that held everything together took considerably longer.
Ms Vivian is quoted in SAYS as saying that she had to take the bills from the cake one by one, and that her family had to help her to speed up the process.
All in all, it took the family almost a week to complete the task and bring the RM52,000 to the bank for depositing. /TISG
