I paid almost £80 for a grazing box for an 18th birthday gift but saying it was a disappointment is an understatement
PLANNING a party is no easy task – there’s invitations to send out, food to arrange, decorations to find…
To make her life a little easier, one mum decided to order a grazing box for her niece’s 18th birthday celebrations – but it’s safe to say, the product was anything but a feast.
The mum, better known to her fans as Schimina on TikTok, shared the major fail on social media, urging people to stay clear of the café responsible for the disaster.
According to Schimina, whose video has been viewed more than 500k times in just a few days, she had paid almost £80 for a sharing plate full of goodies.
Showing what she had expected to be delivered on the big day, the Aussie revealed the box contained a wide range of snacks, including veggies, ciabatta, cheese, dips and a mix of assorted meat.
But rather than a mouth-watering feast full of colours and flavours, the birthday party food ended up a total flop.
There were barely any vegetables or fruit and the plate consisted mainly of salami roses, a few carrot sticks, a handful of grapes and some bits of cheese.
Describing her emotions, the mortified shopper said that ”disappointed was an understatement”.
Just as stunned by the fail, social media users flocked to comments in sheer horror, with one saying they wouldn’t have let that slide.
”I wouldn’t have accepted that personally.”
Someone else agreed, writing: ”ID. HAVE. BEEN. LIVID.”
Another reckoned: ”They must have mixed the order up on delivery is all I can think of.”
”It’s not that bad. Drama Queen much?” a TikTok fan didn’t think the box was that unappealing.
Unfortunately, the niece is not the only one whose party ended up a disaster – recently one bloke was shocked after seeing the birthday cake arrive on his doorstep.
The rising YouTube star, Robert Tolppi, decided to have a bakery make a cake – and he even found a stunning design to order.
In his mind, he would serve a red velvet cake with black roses.
But upon opening the delivered treat, Robert was mortified and quickly realised the major error he had made.
Rather than sending a snap of the cake he wanted, the YouTuber attached the wrong image by mistake – it was a close-up selfie of the bloke looking rather stern.
It appears that the bakery did not question Robert about wanting a cake that is a replica of his face and did not ask him if that’s what he truly wanted – because when he opened the box, he saw his own reflection.
Mortified and unsure what else to do, Robert decided to stick a few candles and go forward with the celebrations anyway.
”At least it was a red velvet cake,” he chuckled in the caption of the video uploaded on TikTok.
The unfortunate fail has since gone viral, racking up over a 741k views in just a few hours.
And it’s safe to say, social media users were in hysterics, with one writing: ”they must get some weird requests if they didn’t automatically question the picture lmao.”
Another laughed: ”Task failed successfully.”
Many also thought the face cake was, in fact, better than what he had originally wanted.
”the face cake is totally better. So it’s a happy accident.”
”First face cake i’ve ever seen that doesn’t look completely butchered,” someone else added.
”THATS HILARIOUS. but it turned out so cool!!!” a fan penned.
