When putting through a custom order on anything, we’re often told it’s always best to give as much detail as you can to avoid any confusion. Even better if you give a picture or sketch reference.
But for one Costco customer, this strategy turned their custom cake order rather pear-shaped. And we’re sorry, but we’re laughing along with the internet on this one!

what?
its a perfect rendition of the picture
they just dont read so good
I like how they even matched the bad perspective on that one corner. It must have been very tempting to fix that, but they resisted it!
LMAO. Literally correct, but oh so very wrong!
And I decorate cakes as a hobby!
Customer wanted Mariah Carey… got Marie Curie instead.
A few years back I was at a Perkins restaurant and ordered a hamburger with only raw onions.
That’s exactly what I got, a hamburger patty with raw onions. No bun at all. Just the fried meat and raw onions.
Marie Curie couldn’t hit whistle register, but the first person to win Nobel Prizes? C’mon.
So… would an automated, AI-enabled bakery have done it any differently?
Very.... cubist.
It should have been the opposite, just the bun and onions, no burger. Maybe they thought you were Atkins.
I am surprised someone knew who Marie Curie was. They did a wonderful job.
That’s good!
Ok now THAT’S funny😄!
I can’t help but give the cake artist points for accuracy, as well!
Reminds me of the Spinal Tap Stonehenge scene.

I used to want Mariah Carey to.
Used to . . .
Thanks for the hearty laugh. I needed that.
Funny bit, which was somewhat lifted and used in the scene from the film Zoolander...
“What is that, a school for ants?”
I got a hundred bucks that says the employee has absolutely no idea what the word “perimeter” means.
I just wet my pants.
