A baker has revealed the 'traumatizing' mistake she made while making a gender reveal cake that left the mom-to-be in tears.
Abi Caswell, 27, is the owner of cake shop Batter in Hammond, Louisiana. The pastry maker frequently markets her small business through TikTok, however, recently she shared how she 'ruined' a couple's special moment.
In a viral video, which has so far amassed over 1.9 million views, she recounted the moment the mom came to pick up the cake and burst into tears.
Abi explained that the employee who took the order didn't realize the sweet treat was a gender reveal cake, so she accidentally iced the outside of the cake blue instead of the inside.
The clip started out with Abi showing what she does in a day at her bake shop.
She showed herself making a couple birthday cakes and cookies. The baker revealed that the day was going well but then it took a 'drastic turn.'
'This cake was a blue cake that said, "Coming February 2024." When I read this order form, I'm thinking this is for somebody with a baby on the way.
'Well apparently the girl that took this order didn't realize that this was a gender reveal cake and the blue was supposed to be only on the inside,' she explained as she scraped off the blue icing on the cake.
And things took an even bigger turn when the mom-to-be picked up the cake.
'So we 100 per cent ruined the gender reveal for her,' Abi said.
The baker noted that it was 'by far the biggest mistake' they had made.
Abi and her employees apologized and offered to make the child's birthday cake for free.
'She did understand and everything turned out alright,' she said of the mom's reaction.
At the end of the clip, she showed viewers the redone cake, which was now covered in white icing.
Speaking to Insider, the baker explained that the confusion occurred when a friend of the mom called and asked for a gender reveal cake but didn't specifically request for the icing be on the inside.
The employee who took the order assumed it would be a gender reveal party but not that the cake would reveal the gender.
She said that the mom was shocked. She wasn't angry, but she did request they fix the cake so it could still be a surprise for her husband.
People flooded the comments section of the video and praised the baker for her reaction to the mistake.
One person said: 'That is not a end of the world kind of thing. You handled it well. All that stuff looks really good.'
Another person commented: 'Aw don’t beat yourself for it! It was a miscommunication! Glad everything turned out well though!'
'You handled it with grace. We all make mistakes,' one person wrote.
One user added: 'I think you handled it very well and very professionally!'
