It’s never too early to learn the facts of life.
A British family was left aghast Monday after a cake they ordered for a child’s first birthday came out with the wrong name — and an incredibly rude design.
According to the child’s aunt, who goes by Tas and posted both a sample cake and the finished product on Twitter, the dessert was supposed to be shaped like a large, blue number one with heart-shaped balloons and white icing and emblazoned with the name Zayeem.
What they got was less than tasteful.
Instead of white icing, the cake was traced with yellowish frosting, and the heart-shaped balloons looked more like swimming sperm.
And the greeting that was written on the cake?
It contained an embarrassing typo: “Happy Birthday Yazeem.”
“Forgot to share. what my nephew’s birthday cake was meant to look like vs how it turned up. his name is Zayeem btw,” read the tweet.
The Post reached out to Tas for comment.
Several Twitter users were quick to make fun of the two sweet treats.
“Happy Birthday Yazeem,” tweeted one user alongside a picture of actor John Travolta, referencing the time he mispronounced “Frozen” star Idina Menzel’s name at the 2014 Oscars.
“Well, it’s definitely Birthday themed,” reasoned one user. “Maybe a little too much focus on the reproductive bit.
“The j–z colored icing and the sperm omfg,” noted another.
One indignant commenter said the whole situation was “unbelievably awful,” adding that they hoped the baker scraped off the offending parts and redid that cake.
Tas responded with an updated picture, with which she noted that the sperm-like balloons remained — but the baker managed a quick fix for the name.
“We couldn’t even kick off that much because it was my cousin’s wife that made it,” revealed Tas. “She just sells cakes on insta idk what they were expecting.”
This is not the first time someone has messed up a cake order.
Earlier this month, one woman claimed she spent $300 dollars on a four-tiered chocolate cake — only for it to turn out looking like a mound of chocolate.
Instead of conveying an elegant cake, the baked good looked like it had been slathered in icing sprinkles hastily added to it.
Another not-so-sweet moment came in April when a heated argument between a baker and a customer went viral on TikTok.
The buyer claimed a $75 rainbow cake ordered from a West Virginia bakery did not come out of the oven as expected — and the mishap even prompted the hashtag #CakeGate.
