A woman has been left heartbroken after the $200 Wiggles birthday cake she ordered for her son’s birthday party arrived looking “awful”.
Instead of a beautiful cake topped with bright and colourful lollies, the Brisbane mum received a “dry sponge with cream that tasted like butter”.
Despite the baker being given “weeks of notice”, they delivered a cake leaning on its side, covered in thick layers of fondant.
“I literally cried,” the woman wrote on Facebook.
“My mum received the cake as I was extremely busy doing a million other things.”
“[My mum] came in and said, ‘you’re going to be furious’. When she showed me I literally swore in front of all the party guests and started crying.”
She shared photos of the baker’s past work on social media when someone noticed a watermark on one of the images belonging to a baker in Texas, not the woman who baked it.
“I have messaged the lady and she’s already refusing to take any responsibility,” she added.
