Celebrations are incomplete without cake, and as for the cake, it has to be perfect. On most occasions, the cake gets more attention than the person cutting the cake.
Therefore, people give too much attention to details like the theme of the cake, text on the cake, elements on the cake, the texture of the cake and much more.
Now, think of the situations when the bakery spoiled all your planning with some or the other error on the cake; especially, in the text of the cake. Those spelling errors are acceptable (sometimes), but there are many other big blunders that happen in the bakery.
A few days ago, Kapil Wasnik shared a picture of a cake that he received with a weird text on it. Kapil asked the bakery to specify if the cake contained eggs. And the bakery mentioned it... out loud, on the cake.
So I ordered a cake from a renowned bakery in Nagpur, through #Swiggy. In the order details I mentioned “Please mention if the cake contains egg”. I am speechless after receiving the order ?? pic.twitter.com/WHN0Ht20r0

The post went viral and turns out, many people have been in a similar situation.
(Grab some popcorn cake, this is going to be very interesting)
1. NOTHING MEANS NOTHING
So, this user wrote nothing in the text box which says, 'Please add text here.'
And she found nothing written on the cake. Like, 'nothing', the word, written on the cake.
-What do you want us to write on the cake?

-Nothing.

2. EMBARRASSING ONE
Another customer mentioned, 'Don't send cutlery' in the instructions, and found that on the cake.
I once ordered a cake for a birthday gathering with 50+ people. Imagine my horror and embarrassment when the cake showed up with 'Don't send cutlery' written on it. The price you pay to save the environment ?? pic.twitter.com/jSpKu2RPbf

3. JUST COPY-PASTE
Another instruction that the cook simply copy-pasted on the cake is 'use fresh material'. The customer found ''material' written on the cake. We don't know where the other word or words went, tbh.
I had ordered from #Zomato

4. ONLY WHAT'S REQUIRED
This customer wanted to be specific. So they wrote, write 'just happy birthday'. They followed the instruction carefully and wrote, 'Just Happy Birthday.'
Bakery: what do you want on it?
— BirdResQR ??? (@JennyCaldwell) May 21, 2022
Me: Happy Birthday
B: Anything else?
M:just happy birthday pic.twitter.com/qfwoZOtePy
5. EGG OR NO EGG?
In another incident, whether the cake contained egg or not was mentioned on the top.
I asked for an Eggless cake, here it is ?? pic.twitter.com/x2boqolAl0

6. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANDLES
Someone asked for candles with the cake, and, hold my candle, they got them written on the cake.
Ok then. pic.twitter.com/27oJd43cYS

7. THE FINAL ONE IS THE BEST ONE
This one deserves to get the funniest text on cake award.

Takeaway: Write just what is necessary. No extra instructions.
