Gender reveals have become rather popular among expecting families, even though I think 98% of people who have ever attended a gender reveal are only there for the free food.
Regardless, there are many ways expecting parents choose to reveal the gender of their unborn child to their friends and family.
From popping balloons full of confetti to letting off smoke bombs, people can go to great lengths to let you know whether their unborn baby is a boy or girl.
This family tried to involve a plane in their gender reveal... which did not end well:However, the most traditional, simple, and delicious way of revealing an unborn child's gender is with a cake cut.
The premise is simple: A beautifully designed and neutral-colored cake is cut, and the sponge on the inside is either pink for a girl or blue for a boy.
However, one TikTokker was left thoroughly disappointed when the cake she received from a bakery was a far cry from what she had ordered. In fact, I'd go as far as to call it an abomination.
The woman, who goes by the username crazypiggies on the social media platform, shared a video of what she had ordered and the disaster that she actually got.
In this clip, she shows two photos - the first is the beautiful bumblebee-themed gender reveal cake she ordered, which has the words "What will it bee" written in icing, cute bee and beehive fondant decorations, with an inside that would be colored to reveal the baby's gender.
Check out what the mom-to-be received in the video below:However, as you can see from the video above, the mom-to-be got something very different.
Instead, her cake arrived topped with real flowers and a strange, creepy baby on top. But arguably worst of all, the baker covered the entire cake in a garish blue icing - prematurely revealing to everybody that the baby was going to be a boy.
Crazypiggies captioned the video: "Worse, it happened with my gender reveal cake WITH THE COLOR OF THE GENDER ON THE OUTSIDE SMH".
The clip, which sees her laughing throughout, has also amassed 4.1 million views and over 1800 comments from baffled TikTokkers.
One person wrote: "I was about to say what’s wrong with that cake it’s adorable then nope."
And a second joked: "The fact that they put the blue as the icing was bad... but the handwriting was even worse."
A third person, who claimed to be a cake decorator, also commented: "As a cake decorator I don’t know how they weren’t thinking when they made this. I’m so sorry!"
Another commenter even branded the cake "upsetting".
Replying to several commenters, Crazypiggies revealed that she paid $70 for the cake - and never received a refund after complaining.
Fortunately, Crazypiggies eventually got a cake she could be proud of at her baby shower, captioning the post: "My baby shower cake made up for it! So grateful for my baby boy and it’ll always be such a funny story to tell."
And a congratulations to Crazypiggies who has since given birth to a beautiful boy called Noah.
