TikToker @Katelanterman blasts Costco for neglecting to decorate her 2-year-old son Teddy's Sesame Street birthday cake and left the confection completely blank with spare tubes of icing to do it herself.

Birthday parties can be a lot of work—especially when the party is for a young child.

This was the issue TikToker Katelynn Ross—@katelanterman—was addressing when she decided to let Costco take care of the cake.


Unfortunately, things didn't quite go to plan.

You can see Ross' video of their predicament here:

@katelanterman

#Costcofail Without explanation, Costco didnt decorate my son’s birthday cake so I had to do it at 9pm the night before his party. #nailedit BUT SERIOUSLY, you thought leaving it blank was a good idea??? Do the best you can offer and thats my problem after, but them leaving it blank was a horribly petty plan. I normally LOVE Costco, we still spent bought all of our party food there tonight because that was my plan and I didnt need the added stress of changing plans over this. I’ll still shop there, but i will NEVER order a custom cake again #cakefail And i hate my writing on it but at least its something

People congratulated her on managing to make a pretty cake all on her own.

Others were outraged on her behalf.

But then the plot thickened.

It turns out, it's a fairly widely known fact among Costco members that their cakes only come in pre-designed options and will be given as blank if one of these options isn't checked on the order sheet.

Then a decorator chimed in with the usual policy, which is to call the customer.

It turned out the TikToker had received a phone call earlier that day.

Someone summed up the general sentiment in the comments.

The finished cake looks great.

The 2-year-old probably couldn't tell whether it was professionally decorated or not.

AOC Uses Midterm Election To Perfectly Explain Where 'Millennial Cringe' Comes From To Gen Z

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down where so-called "millennial cringe" comes from to Gen Z voters after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

The term "millennial cringe" has gained popularity among Gen Z to mock the optimistic Internet culture of the 2010s. Ocasio-Cortez said "millennial cringe" is understandable when you consider the impact millennials had by electing Barack Obama, who became the nation's first Black president.

Ted Cruz Roasted After Making Hilariously Bleak Realization Following Texas Midterm Elections

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked after he realized he is the only statewide elected Republican left in his state after Democrats swept every statewide race, winning the governorship and a Senate seat for the first time in decades.

In Texas, the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total. Gina Hinojosa also stunned the country after beating Greg Abbott to become the first Latina to be elected to serve as governor of the state.
