Costco has been a partner of most households, especially when we want a quick and easy way of getting our hands with our food staples.
However, this customer did not realize how his cake would turn out.
On April 2, a Reddit post showing a series of photos went viral.
The post contains images of a cake order by Stephen Walker (also known as u/FlipDemStocks), and the way it turned out is just hilarious!
Costco will give you exactly what you know you didnโt need.

Did they get it wrong, or were his instructions unclear?
โCostco will give you exactly what you know you didnโt need,โ Walker wrote in the caption.
Stephen tried to give as much detail as possible about his wants.
In the first image of his post, the order form shows an โXโ mark on a half-sheet and white cake.
It was also stated that it should be cleared of any writing or design with a remark at the bottom that says, โPlease see back.โ
He was TOO clear about his request.
He even took his time to write additional details on the back of the form.
Stephen wrote: โNo writing/No designโ and โOnly Request Red frosting on perimeter for top/bottomโ together with an image of how he thought his cake would be.
But the cake decorator took it literally!
The Costco employee followed Walkerโs drawing on the form and placed it on the cake.
Even the red and black lines were copied exactly as they were on the sketch.
However, that is not how he wanted it to be.
Good thing Stephen knows how to make a good laugh about it.
Walker bought the cake for his daughterโs 3rd birthday but was stunned upon receiving his order.
He even shared his thoughts with the cashier, who offered help to address his concerns by the bakery, but Stephen refused due to time constraints.
All is well!
Despite the unforeseen cake failure, the software engineer and his wife could pull off the party.
Aside from that, he even thought of making the cake story as an April Foolโs tradition.
Walker said he plans to have the picture he took be on top of a cake next year.
โThatโll just be the cake topper, and Iโll just take a picture every year. So itโs like, a picture of a picture of a picture, like โInception.'โ
The cake adventure has garnered various reactions.
โThatโs the TLDR result.โ wrote Reddit user marzipan07.
Costco had a lot of controversies in the past, but this one is too funny to pass.
