A Costco shopper was left in stitches when they ordered a personalised cake and the baker took their instructions a bit too literally.
The customer had asked for a half sheet cake with delicious vanilla cheesecake mousse that serves 48 portions. They wanted a simple design, specifying “no writing” and “no designs”, only requesting “red frosting on the perimeter for top/bottom.
To avoid any cock-ups, the savvy shopper even added a wee diagram to show how they fancied the icing piped around the edges of the cake.

But what they got instead was a stark white cake with their own diagram slapped on top in red icing.
It seems the punter saw the lighter side of the epic bake fail, as the snap ended up on Reddit with the caption: “Costco will give you exactly what you know you didn’t need.”
The cheeky post racked up over 109,000 upvotes, with Reddit users in fits over the mix-up.
One commenter chimed in: “I laughed so hard I nearly woke up my baby.”
Another posted: “That’s amazing. I would not be upset.”

While a third pointed out, “That’s what happens when you expect someone at the bakery to understand ‘perimeter.'”
And in a tasty twist, some thought the baker actually smashed it out of the park with the unintentional design.
One user gushed: “This is a thing of beauty.” Another agreed, giving it the thumbs up with the words: “I would eat this.”
