The duo have become a viral hit with their retro and uncensored cookies, describing themselves as “two best bitches running a filthy bakery.”
They added: “We don’t bake for children because that’s really boring.
“We only bake for adults. For adults with a very specific sense of humor.”
Their beautifully decorated cookies and cakes are often decorated with X-rated texts and have funny shapes.
But despite the award-winning duo’s best intentions, not everything always goes according to plan.
Magda says their “biggest blunder ever” was getting a pink heart-shaped cake for their 30th birthday last year.
“We are very ashamed,” she admitted in a video on social media.
“This happened over a year ago and Aga actually didn’t want to post about it because she found it so f*cking embarrassing.
“I think it’s a really funny and honest mistake and it makes for a great story.”
She added, “So this customer ordered the cake and this is what she wrote on our order form.”
The customer had requested the words “So Happy I’m Thirty (S***)” to be written on the top of her cake.
But she also added an extra instruction: “black for the text, so the word S*** stands out.”
Magda shared their final result saying, “And voila, right? It’s exactly what she asked for.
“And months later we got a similar order, but this time the customer was very specific.”
In the new order, the birthday girl had asked to write each word on a new line, so that it would read ‘S***’ horizontally in the form of an acrostic poem.
“And it was at that very moment that we realised we had made a mistake with the other cake,” Magda admits.
“And we thought: f***, this is what she meant.

“And for almost a year now we’ve been wondering why she never texted us. Was she angry? Was she disappointed? Or maybe she thought it was funny.
“It turns out this beautiful lady had absolutely no problem with it. Not a single complaint. It shows how kind and unproblematic some people are.”
The satisfied customer later said of the bakery: “I loved it and honestly didn’t care that much.
“I was just happy that it was pink and sparkly.”
But she added jokingly: “Everyone loved it except my grandma who said I would go to hell if I cursed my dad. [the] cake.
“I definitely won’t show her your cookies hahaha. Thanks again.”
The duo Rude Cookies have since gone viral for their baking blunder, amassing over 340,000 views on Instagram and TikTok.
And social media users have insisted the mistake actually made the cake better.
The History of Rude Cookies
Former photographer Magda made her first birthday cake for one of her children 12 years ago and started an Instagram cake business.
In 2018, she met Aga when she came in for a wedding cake consultation and she said she “knew straight away she would become her best friend”.
Magda said: “Our cookie decorating adventure started around lockdown. I was decorating some Christmas cookies with my kids and because I was in a really, really s****y mood, I wanted my cookies to reflect that.
“So I wrote some swear words on them and sent pictures of my creations to Aga. She thought they were f***ing hilarious and decided to set up an Instagram account for my cookies.
“And we both had the exact same idea for the account name and we typed it at the exact same time.
“Soon we were both making these crazy cookies, just because we were bored and wanted to entertain you.”
She added: “The foundation of this business and also our friendship is the fact that we both have a very, very dark, twisted sense of humor and are brutally honest with each other.”
Since lockdown, the duo have outgrown Magda’s kitchen and now have an established bakery in the city’s Shawlands area, plus a separate baking workshop where they make their biscuits, cakes and Dubai chocolate.
They have also been crowned Best New Business and Best Bakery in Glasgow, plus Best New Business in Scotland.
And they even won prizes at Cake International, the largest international competition for baking and sugar work.
“No, that mistake was fantastic. I can guarantee it made it funnier,” said one.
A second person responded, “But you made it BETTER.”
A third added: “I would have cried laughing if I had been given that cake. Core memory laughter.”
Someone else wrote: “It’s a beautiful cake, I wouldn’t want you to choose something that still gets the message across in a funny way.”
A fifth person joined the conversation: “[This] is top notch. I would laugh so hard even if I remembered the abbreviation. This is so much better.”
A sixth said: “It’s such an honest mistake that I would never have figured out what they actually meant and it’s hilarious that way.”
