Everyone loves a trip around Costco seeing what the store has on offer, from televisions to home essentials and other bits and bobs that we perhaps don't need but definitely want to stock up on any way.
Among other popular items the retailer sells are cakes, that can thankfully be customised. However it seems that one shopper may have hoped that they never asked after their request was taken a bit to literally.
The shopper, according to the Daily Star, wanted to keep the appearance pretty simple, requesting “no writing” and “no designs”.

Their only ask was “red frosting on the perimeter for top/bottom”.
And to illustrate how they wanted icing to be piped along the corners of the cake, they drew a little diagram to make things even more clear.
Despite their best efforts, the customer’s order still got lost in translation and they designed the cake was not quite what they were expecting.
Instead of red piping around the edges, they received a plain white cake with their diagram iced on top.
They seemed to see the funny side though – as a picture of the blunder was posted onto Reddit.
In the r/funny forum, a user wrote: “Costco will give you exactly what you know you didn’t need.”
The post garnered more than 109,000 upvotes – and many found the cake fail to be equally as amusing.
One commenter said: “I laughed so hard I nearly woke up my baby.”
Another wrote: “That’s amazing. I would not be upset.”
And a third said: “That's what happens when you expect someone at the bakery to understand ‘perimeter.’”
