The woman shared a reference image with the bakery but received a cake that looked nothing like it.

The post on birthday cake fail amused the internet.

Let's just agree that birthdays are incomplete without the cake. The joy of blowing out the candles, cutting the dessert and feeding the first bite to your special person as everyone around sings the ‘Happy Birthday' song is a delightful ritual that is simply non-negotiable. A woman decided to celebrate her 22nd birthday with a customised fancy, Pinteresty cake and hence placed an order from a bakery outlet called Sobeys. However, the dessert that was delivered was far from the reference image, making for a hilarious fail.

The woman shared the funny incident by dropping "expectations vs reality" snaps of the birthday cake on Reddit. The first photo was the version that she wished to receive. It was a vanilla delicacy adorned with pretty heart designs done with red icing. The note accompanying the cake read, “I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22", which was written in red and black frosting. The cake, which arrived, was in no way similar to the desired version. Although it had a vanilla base, the message was piped with dark blue icing and even then, the words “I don't know” were altered to the abbreviated form of “IDK”.

As far as the decoration was concerned, the cute heart impressions were nowhere to be seen. Instead, yellow and red toppings were used to outline the cake in an odd swirly fashion. As per the side note, the bakery told the birthday girl and her best friend, “to use candles for the ‘22' part.”
