Moment When Mom-to-be’s Gender Reveal Cake Arrives Looking Like A ‘Toddler Did It’
SHE wanted a cute, stylish cake to announce her pregnancy and the gender of her unborn baby.
But one mum was left furious after the £50 cake she ordered from a local bakery ‘looked like a toddler had made it’.

Kate went to TikTok to share a photo of what she wanted: a heart-shaped white cake with black icing and the text “Available November 2024.”
The expectant mother wanted her note to say, “Available January 2025.”
And while the cake itself looked good, including the icing piped around the edge, the lettering looked wonky and unprofessional.
Kate then had them do it again.
But the second attempt was even worse, with even shakier handwriting and the “Jan” much thicker than anything else.
“I’m sorry WHAT?!” she wrote above.
Ultimately, Kate decided to fix it herself and replaced the text with pre-cut letters. The text read: “Arriving January 2025”.
“When you hire a baker to make a cake to reveal your daughter’s gender… this is where it goes wrong,” she captioned the video.
“This is hilarious!!!” someone wrote in the comments.
“Man, that second cake just keeps getting funnier,” laughed another.
To which Kate replied, “LMAOOOOO I KNOW!”
“This is shocking!!! I’m a cake baker and I could never do this!!!!!” exclaimed a third.
“If Temu makes your cake!” said someone else.
But someone else tried to defend the baker, writing: “They literally wrote what you sent them.
“I don’t think they did anything wrong, except they were a bit sloppy.
“If you wanted that wording, you should have told them!?”
The Struggle of Choosing a Baby Name
CHLOE Morgan, a senior writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma when choosing a baby name…
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and the hardest part of pregnancy these past few months (apart from the insomnia and countless nighttime wetting!) has been coming up with a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless…
My partner and I had a private ultrasound to find out the gender as early as possible. Part of the reason for this was that we thought it would make choosing a baby name a lot easier, as we would only have to come up with a list of names for one gender instead of two.
How wrong we were…
I was overjoyed to find out I was pregnant with the baby girl I had dreamed of for so long. But because I was one of the last friends to get pregnant, I have had countless conversations with excited friends over the years about their favorite baby names…something I would like to undo without ever having heard.
Every friend comes up with at least 10 possible nicknames and I can’t help but feel like more names are out of the question, even though I know no one would object. It’s just my own problem!
This debate comes up over and over again on social media: can you choose the same name that was a ‘potential’ name for your friend’s baby?
It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always divided. And I don’t want to be THAT person.
While some argue that there are thousands of other names to choose from, others say that you should choose YOUR favorite. After all, there is no guarantee that person will ever have a child.
Then there’s the matter of finding a name you love… and then doing some research online and reading one negative comment among hundreds of positive ones that you just can’t let go of.
I made that same mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t tell because I don’t want to ruin it for others!)… and then I saw someone point out that the name constantly autocorrects on a phone to something rather rude.
So we went back to the drawing board.
Only five more weeks and it looks like our little girl will be called ‘baby girl’ for a while longer!
To which Kate replied, “I would have been fine with the wording!
“It’s the actual script of it. It looks like a toddler wrote it.
“That’s why I decided to completely change it when I had to fix it.”
“Anyone who wants to be a baker should be able to write in cursive script and be familiar enough with icing to be able to write in block letters,” someone else noted.
“Writing always looks so much nicer in cursive. I’m sorry you had such a bad time,” sighed someone else.
“That’s why I use chocolate letter molds so the letters are perfect lol,” said another.
Others praised Kate’s decision to take on the cake herself, with one person writing: “You did a great job!”
“But a good save!!” said another.
