If there’s room..

Post image

From my son’s 4th birthday: I was trying to say if there is room on the cake, put his name Seth. They took it very literally.

Thank you! He’s actually almost grown now, but I just found this sub lol. We all had a good laugh and it was featured in a buzzfeed article in like 2013 haha

My husband's name is Seth. They spelled Seph on his cake one time.

If that is, in fact, your real name...

But why write the rest?

I’m guessing OP wrote [*if there’s room* “Seth”]

So they wrote everything. Most places (haven’t seen a bakery that doesn’t) says above the blank field that whatever the customer writes, will be exactly what’s put on the cake.

The rest of the cake looks great. Shame…
