Gender reveals are most commonly spent surrounded by a couple's closest friends and family as the expecting parents unveil the exciting news with a heartfelt celebration.
However, a new trend sees couples enjoying an intimate moment together as they discover their baby's gender privately.
The wholesome tradition is commonly seen with a couple cutting open a bespoke cake, which will reveal the defining colours - either blue or pink - inside.
However, two expecting parents were left speechless as a bakery accidentally ruined their gender reveal by proving the incorrect cake.
Lyss - who posts under account @alyssa_quintos - shared the unfortunate moment on TikTok, which has rocketed in views since sharing.
Captioning the post, Lyss wrote: "When the bakery has one job."
The video clip, which has surpassed 14.9 million views to date, captured the moment the pregnant couple sliced into their cake to reveal the colour underneath.
However, they were left with their jaws dropping as it simply unveiled a normal sponge cake without the traditional colours inside.
Thankfully, however, Lyss and her partner were able to see the light in the situation and instantly burst into laughter upon discovering the bakery's mishap.
"I think they gave us the wrong cake! It's yellow," they joked.
Since sharing the mishap, the couple's video has raked in over 4,500 comments - where people were convinced that the bakery 'messed up'.
One person wrote: "That bakery did yall so wrong."
Meanwhile, someone else said: "Congratulations on your white baby!!"
On the other hand, a different TikTok user penned: "I feel like the outside of the cake is blue lol they deff messed up lol."
A second agreed: "I think they misunderstood the assignment and made the outside blue for boy."
