dessert disaster! Young woman stunned after spending $450 on chocolate cake that looks NOTHING like her order: ‘My toddler could do better’

  • A woman ordered a $450 AUD four-layer chocolate cake
  • But she was shocked by what she got from the baker

A woman has left millions in hysterics after revealing the ‘hot mess’ of a cake that cost her $450.

Libby was thrilled after placing an expensive order from a highly regarded bakery in her neighborhood.

She expected to get a four-layer chocolate cake, smothered in chocolate ganache and finished with chocolate ribbons.

But the reality of what she received made her cry.

The baker set out a cake that was haphazardly covered in uneven chocolate frosting and was crumbling by the minute — with many comparing the sight to human excrement.

Libby, who is from the US, was too shocked to resist the grotesque cake and instead accepted it before sharing her story on TikTok.

“I need advice,” she said in a video. “I paid $300 for this and the lady just delivered it – what am I supposed to do?”

The woman shared photos of the inspiration she sent the baker and what she got in return.

The actual cake was structurally flawed and had several extra layers stacked awkwardly.

It was also topped with rainbow candies – a detail Libby never asked for.

Thousands were similarly horrified by the “terrible” cake.

“Looks like she literally dropped this cake on the floor,” said one woman. “This must be some form of hate crime.”

“This would make my kidneys roar – why are there sprinkles?!” added one more.

A third quipped, “I’ll be in jail in an hour.”

“I don’t know a nice way to put this, but it literally looks like she took a mess and put sprinkles on top,” said one man.

Some offered helpful advice.

“Call your non-emergency line and ask how to get your money back,” one woman wrote.

“Drive back to her house and demand she fix it or give you your money back,” advised another.

“You should write a Google review to warn other people about her,” said a third.
