Dad slams bakers for ‘pathetic effort’
    2018-11-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A DISGUSTED dad has slammed an Australian supermarket after bakers allegedly ruined his son’s frog-themed birthday cake with their “pathetic” decorating skills.

In preparation for his son Mason’s third birthday, Shane Hallford, 43, claims to have forked out US$49 on a special birthday cake from his local Woolworths store in Tamworth, New South Wales, on Sunday.

The dad claims his request for a frog-themed birthday cake was confirmed by the store three days prior to picking it up — but the policeman and his wife Amy, 29, were both horrified to discover that their son’s cake looked “nothing” like what they ordered.

“They told me it could be done, no worries at all. He wrote down everything I said and said it would be ready by Sunday morning. I was very excited to see it,” Hallford said.

“I just assumed it would be fine. When I got home, I opened it up with my wife and we were both mortified.”

Instead of a colorful number three and a big green frog decoration they had envisioned, the “mortified” parents were met with a “pathetic” smiley face and small “three” both written in green icing.

Hallford said the “pathetic” cake forced his family to seek help from another cake decorator who thankfully “saved” his son’s birthday cake just 20 minutes before guests arrived. (SD-Agencies)
