I bought a stunning cake for my baby’s gender reveal but ruined it – neither my guests or I know what I’m having
A DELICIOUS cake was the perfect way for a mum-to-be to reveal her baby’s gender, but it all went wrong.
Pregnant and excited, Steph bought a beautiful yellow cake to surprise everyone and reveal if she was having a boy or a girl.
Sadly, the cake had other ideas, and her delight turned to panic in seconds.
Steph posted a clip of her extraordinary fail online and she’s got everyone’s sympathy.
In the video, Steph shows off a stunning heart-shaped cake covered in pastel yellow icing.
Pretty layers of buttercream are piped around the edge, along with rose-shaped accents.
In the middle of the heart, piped writing reads ‘Coming Jan 2024’.
Steph had set up a beautiful backdrop of flowing grey material to cut the cake on.
The clip shows her approaching the cake with a sharp kitchen knife.
The top of the treat has already been cut into a slice, but there’s a problem.
Steph eases the knife underneath to lift the slice out, but it doesn’t budge.
She uses one of her manicured fingers to help remove the wedge, but there’s still no movement.
Instead of smoothly moving the cake, her efforts make the icing chip off the top and fall in a pile below.
Viewers can hear the panic in her voice as she vainly attempts to make it work…but it’s no good.
The problem? The cake is far too cold.
Steph captioned her clip: “When you left the cake in the fridge for too long. I panicked so hard.”
Over 800,000 people have watched her viral TikTok video, and they all have something to say about the epic fail.
One user replied: “This would throw me over the edge.”
A second joked: “Looks like a cake, feels like a brick.”
A third said: “I thought it was butter.”
And a fourth commented: “This would have had me stabbing the cake.”
