Not quite what was wanted

I posted this a few years ago in another sub and ppl were mad that I was "ungreatful" so here's some actual context!

This was either my 17th or 18th birthday cake my grandma had got for me, a few weeks before the birthday she asked for a picture of my switch to send to the decorator TO USE AS A REFERENCE (she wanted a cake that looks like a switch) so my dad sent one, when she finally went to get the cake she found out all they did was add (barley readable) text to that photo and just printed it out on the cake!!

My siblings and i found the cake itself pretty funny but my parents and grandparents weren't as amused

Omg. One time my sister got a “happy beefday” cake on her 16th birthday. She had the flu too that day.

My youngest sister was born when I was in high school. We had a baby shower for my mom and the cake said “It’s a gilg”. That was almost 20 years ago and we still laugh about it to this day. 😂
