A Redditor ordered a cake with instructions to write “happy birthday mummy” in frosting, but the Delhi bakery wrote the entire instruction note.
A cake message mistake by a bakery in Delhi has gone viral online, making people laugh across the internet.
A Reddit user (@Kookie69420) recently shared her experience after ordering a chocolate truffle bento cake from a bakery in Delhi. In the order, she asked the bakery to write “Happy Birthday Mummy” on the cake, and added a note saying: “Text with frosting.”
However, what she received was not what she expected. The bakery printed the entire note on the cake, including the words “Text with frosting.”
A photo of the cake showed the message written exactly as typed in the order: “Happy Birthday Mummy. Text with frosting.”
“Ordered this cake. 300 grams for a whopping ₹400, and this is what I got. Plus, the customer service is so bad,” the caption of the post reads.
Along with picture of the cake, the woman also shared a screenshot of her conversation with the bakery, which refused to offer a refund or exchange.
The Redditor posted a picture of the cake, and it quickly went viral. Many users found the situation hilarious and joked about how the bakery followed the instructions too well.
