A baker was made to feel like an “incompetent piece of trash” after being accused of making a six-year-old girl cry over an “inappropriately” decorated birthday cake. Following a mother’s harsh feedback and request to get a freebie, a handful of people jumped to the exasperated baker’s defense.
Taking to his TikTok page on September 5, Gregory Mason, who owns Treat Yo’ Self Bakery in Wilson, North Carolina, USA, with his husband Alexander Mason, recalled the moment a customer was unsatisfied with their birthday cake order.
In the now-viral video, which has amassed over 25 million views, Gregory explained: “So apparently I made this six-year-old cry, she’s heartbroken, ruined her entire birthday, because this cake is just so ugly.”
