Sometimes, when ordering a custom item, it helps to be very specific about what you want done, other times, if taken too literally, this is not the case.
This was the case for Peyton Chimack, a Chicago-based woman who went viral on TikTok after posting a cake she ordered at the local Walmart.
In the post that has been viewed more than 703,000 times, Chimack shows off an inspirational cake she wanted for her birthday, noting that she asked the retailer to write “Aries Baby” in black on a white cake and make the writing “small, cursive , and in the middle of the cake” like in this example:

However, the cake decorator took Chimack’s directions literally and wrote on the cake “(small, italic, center of cake)” in large black letters below where it said “Aries Baby.”

“When I tell you my jaw dropped when I got in the car and opened the cake,” she wrote.
Chimack said Today who went back inside to point out the mistake to the cake decorator. It was on break, but the butcher working in the shop had a good laugh. When the cake decorator returned, Chimack told her Today“[S]he was a little confused as to what he had done wrong. She didn’t realize I put the instructions on the page, she thought that was the way I wanted it.”
Viewers of her post were upset about the incorrect cake decoration.
“I NEED to know what is going through people’s minds while they are actively talking about what is clearly a note,” one viewer wrote. “I’m really like, ‘Yeah, perfect, no problem!’”
“This is better than getting what you originally wanted,” another pointed out. “You can look back on it any time and laugh.”
Chimack eventually fixed the cake and shared the result with viewers in a later video.
