TikToker Rips Costco For Refusing To Decorate 2-Year-Old's Birthday Cake–So She Had To Do It Herself

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.

MAGA Rep's Fawning Remark About 'Very Special Baby' Trump Is Giving Total Cult Vibes

Texas Republican Representative Troy Nehls isn't doing anything to dispel the belief that the MAGA movement is a cult after telling reporters that President Donald Trump was "born a very special baby" while fawning over his presidency.

Nehls sarcastically suggested a fund should be established to compensate critics who have "Trump Derangement Syndrome," adding that they should get "counseling" for being against the Trump administration.

Trump Is Bragging Again That He Got A Bigger Crowd In 2019 Than MLK's 'I Have A Dream' Speech Did—And The Delusion Is Staggering

President Donald Trump's delusions are off the charts given he's claiming he had more people in the crowd for his "Salute to America" July 4th event in 2019 than the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had for his famous "I Have a Dream" speech that he gave during the 1963 March on Washington.

According to the National Park Service, roughly 260,000 people participated in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The demonstration brought together a largely Black but broadly diverse coalition of Americans demanding an end to racial discrimination and equal rights for Black citizens.
