In the last decade, many expecting parents have utilized social media in an attempt to get their baby's gender reveal to go viral.
From your standard cake-cutting and balloon popping to much more elaborate stunts, gender reveals have become the latest online trend that many moms and dads want to be remembered for.
Such as this gender reveal in Texas, which ended in a place crash:However, one expecting mother has been left rather red-faced after her gender reveal cake was mocked on social media pages for looking much ruder than intended.
Originally shared to the merciless Facebook group That's It, I'm Cake Shaming, the sweet treat was supposed to resemble a pregnant woman's torso, decorated with a denim diamante bra, pearl necklace, jeans, and featuring a cute baby footprint 'kicking' from the bump.
However, the cake caught many people's attention for the wrong reasons, as the baby's foot looked rather more phallic.
A friend of the cake recipient wrote to the 10,000+ group:
"My friend’s daughter’s gender reveal cake. The theme was Denim or Diamonds. My friend said she just couldn't stop laughing at this monstrosity the mother-in-law ordered."
One commenter said what we were all thinking: "It took me quite a while to realise that foot was not a penis", and others only agreed.
Another said: "Oh, it’s a foot? I thought it was a penis", as a third added: "I get it’s a foot, but definitely looked like something else at first."
One commenter joked that cake buyer must not be keen on her daughter-in-law, writing: "Mother-in-law must really like or really dislike her. I just can’t decide."
The original poster then revealed the result of the gender reveal, saying: "It was a boy. A horrible blue cake color inside."
For another cake disaster, let's relive the moment Instagram users spotted a huge bug crawling near Dream Kardashian's birthday cake:This will be a gender reveal the internet will remember for a long time - but not for the reason this expecting mom was hoping for.
