Woman's 'surprise' for her parents on their 30th wedding anniversary goes hilariously viral - 'That's heartbreaking!'
- Replies 11
Any of our members who are married or in long-term relationships know that anniversaries are a very big deal. It's not just about celebrating the day you tied the knot – it's a yearly reminder of how far you and your partner have come together, and how much your love has grown over time. And celebrating an anniversary is something everyone can get involved in, including the kids…
Which brings us to one very thoughtful daughter, Megan, who decided to order a vanilla cake in the shape of the number ‘30’ for her parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. She even had an exact visual of what she wanted and shared it with the bakery she ordered her cake from - how thoughtful and organised!
Not to mention, what is more thoughtful and sweet than a gorgeous custom cake? Well… You’d think so anyway.
The cake that Megan envisioned was gorgeous. She wanted an intricately-piped vanilla cake, with pearl detail, to of course mark her parents’ milestone pearl wedding anniversary. She shared a photo of the cake she wanted - the same photo she shared with the bakery - on her TikTok. You can see the photo below.

Now, let’s just say when Megan received her order on her parents’ big day, she was bitterly disappointed. ‘What I asked for vs what I got,’ she captioned her video on TikTok.
The finished cake appeared to be a lazily-designed ‘30’ cake, strangely without any holes for the numbers. In fact, the number 3 looked suspiciously like the letter ‘M’ just turned to the side (at least we think so anyway), and the ‘0’ well, just kind of looked like a cake?
The piping looked nothing like the gorgeous pearl frosting she had requested. And speaking of pearls, there were absolutely none on the cake. Instead, the bakery popped what appears to be fake wedding rings on top of the cake, that appear to be plastic and inedible.

Megan's relatable cake ‘fail’ seemed to resonate with plenty of TikTok users, with her video garnering more than 1.5 million views, with plenty of amused and unimpressed commenters.
‘No way,’ one person wrote. ‘I'd be asking for my money back.’
‘How can they get it wrong?! It's one of the simpler designs,’ another asked.
One added: ‘That's hilarious. It's heartbreaking. Hope you never paid.’
If you ask me, so long as it tasted good, I don’t think Mum and Dad would mind, and I am sure there were plenty of laughs from the family on the day of the anniversary! You can see Megan was quite amused herself in the video below.

Megan never confirmed whether she complained about the state of the cake or if she requested a refund, and I guess we will never know! What would you do in this situation, members? Would you ask for a refund? Or just have a good laugh at the situation? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
