I ordered a pretty cake for my birthday but what arrived was so ugly – people say it ‘looks like a five-year-old did it’

A YOUNG woman has revealed that she ordered herself what she thought would be a trendy and pretty cake to celebrate her birthday.

Eager to kick off her celebrations in style, Alexandra Tobie splashed the cash on a personalised birthday treat.

But when her cake arrived, the content creator was lost for words and left in tears by the fail.

And not only have people said they “wouldn’t have paid” for the cake, but others suggested it looked like it had been made by a child. 

Posting on social media, Alexandra gave her followers a close-up look at the glamorous cake she had requested, as she wrote: “What I ordered…”

Alexandra had asked for a pink heart-shaped cake, with a bold black font that read ‘That Girl Since ‘03’.

The cake she had in mind featured incredibly neat piping around the edges and even had a glitter spray on it.

But moments later, Alexandra shared a snap of what she actually got, which unfortunately looked nothing like she had hoped. 

While the cake was in fact pink, the black text was instead yellow and nowhere near as stylish.

Not only this, but the cake itself wasn’t the same heart shape Alexandra had asked for.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, the top of the cake featured a rogue blue heart, as well as a random splodge of blue icing, which appeared to be a mistake. 

Clearly gutted with her birthday cake, alongside a crying and broken heart emoji, Alexandra sobbed: “It’s so ugly omg.” 

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @alexandratobie_, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has amassed 82,100 views. 

Not only this, but it’s also racked up 3,795 likes, 166 comments, 439 saves and 352 shares. 

Social media users were left “screaming” by the cake blunder and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on Alexandra’s purchase. 

One person said: “I know my entire year would be ruined with a cake like that!” 

Another added: “Even the colours are not communicating. I’d cry a river.” 

A third commented: “They didn’t even try.”

Meanwhile, someone else slammed: “I wouldn’t have paid.”

At the same time, a mother chimed in and claimed: “Looks like my five year old did it.”
