Like them or loathe them, gender reveals have become hugely popular in recent years. 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, the Mirror reports.
Since sharing the mishap, the couple's video has raked in over 4,500 comments - where people were convinced that the bakery 'messed up'.
