Wife joked about the message on her husband’s b’day cake while placing the order —what the bakery delivered had them in stitches
Getting a cake ready for your spouse's birthday can be exciting, especially when you are eager to see their reaction to the surprise. However, Facebook user Taylor Black's husband was floored when he saw what his wife had requested to be written on his birthday cake. While placing the order, Taylor cracked a joke, but the bakery took it literally. Sharing her and her husband's hilarious reaction to the words on the cake on Thursday, February 5, 2026, Taylor expressed doubts about the bakery's sense of humor.
It was Taylor Black's husband, Colton's, birthday. The content creator, who had placed an order for a cake for her husband's birthday, decided to make a joke. She informed the shop, "Happy Birthday D**k, haha, don't write that. His name is Colton." However, the shop decided to include her full message on the cake! When the husband opened the cake box, he was stunned and baffled at the message. Unable to contain his laughter, he looked at his wife and said, "I can't believe you. It's my birthday." Taylor, who was equally amused by the bakery's mistake, went on to show the receipt, which also included her joke as part of the cake message. In the captions, the wife wrote, "They either have no sense of humor or a great one."
A 2024 report published in Psyche stated that for long-lasting marriages, it is important to have a sense of humor. The study noted that when there is a lack of humor in a relationship, it becomes unexciting and monotonous. "The smooth use of humor is an excellent way to deflect an irksome remark, not take a loved one’s harsh tone personally, and avoid an argument," the report explained. While Taylor made a mistake while placing the cake order, her husband took no offense and instead took it as a light-hearted joke, which he enjoyed.
Soon after the post gained traction, many users expressed their reactions to the cake. Carole Dubaldi Terwilliger recounted, "Worked at a bakery where the cake said, 'Happy birthday dad no nuts.' They wrote what they saw." Claudia Pohl mentioned, "Oh, this will give you happy giggles for years to come." Jeff Tokarz joked, "Can't deny that they did what you asked for."
Loved ones often go out of their way to make birthdays feel special. In another story, a groom, Ade, panicked when his bride, Wulan, suddenly fainted at the altar during their wedding in Cimahi, Indonesia. As he and the guests rushed to help her, an unexpected song began playing, with people around him singing "Happy Birthday." As it turned out, the bride had staged the fainting to throw a little surprise for her soon-to-be husband, whose birthday fell on the same day as their wedding. Wulan stood up and joined the celebration, brought out a cake, and the mood changed from concern to joy after he realized the little prank played by the woman.
