‘I’ve ruined her birthday’ man sobs after seeing the £115 artisan cake he ordered his wife as a sweet surprise
A MAN was left sobbing when he saw the results of the sweet cake he’d ordered for his wife’s birthday.
Jack explained that the only thing his other half had asked for on her big day was a “cute cake“, so he’d done his best to oblige.
He went online, and found a gorgeous pink heart-shaped cake with “Happy Birthday Princess” written on the top, surrounded by swirling icing and pearl decorations.
And while the cake that arrived was also heart-shaped and pink, the similarities stopped there.
There was no writing on the top, and a single strawberry candle adorned the centre.
The cake maker had clearly tried to recreate the icing swirls on the side, but had miserably failed – sticking small ball-shaped decorations in a bid to hide the mess.
In addition, he’d shelled out a staggering £115 on the cake.
“$145 down the drain,” he captioned a video of the cake fail on TikTok.
“The ONLY thing she asked for today was a cute cake & now there’s nothing i can do!”
People were quick to reassure Jack in the comments section, with many insisting his wife would be impressed that he’d even tried to order her the cake of her dreams.
“It’s the effort that counts!” one wrote.
“You tried and that’s okay!” another said.
“Maybe if you get some flowers and decorate around the cake it’ll… ‘cheer it up’ so to speak?”
“I’m glad you tried!” a third praised.
“I tried making one of those myself.
“VERY HARD, took like $200 of equipment and repeated tries!”
“No don’t cry!” someone else urged.
“It’s the intention that counts, it’s what my mom always told me, stay strong!”
“Aww no don’t cry, she’ll know your intention, she’ll be happy just to be with you,” another insisted.
“My bf & I went to a bakery to get our gender reveal cake & they told us the gender of the baby on accident,” someone else said.
“I wanted to cry!”
“Dude you still did good!” another gushed.
“It’s the thought that counts and the fact that you tried was great, it was the seller/maker’s fault.
“You still slayed!”
