A baker has left the internet in stitches after revealing she misread a customer’s request for a four-year-old’s Elmo cake – and instead created a gothic emo design for the youngster.

Brianna Romero, from El Paso, Texas, received a last-minute request for a birthday cake via text.

The 24-year-old, who recently achieved a Master of Business Administration, created a gothic-style sweet treat after misreading the instructions.  

And other social media users were quick to see the funny side of the mishap, telling Brianna they had ‘never laughed so hard.’

The 24-year-old posted a TikTok to share the text conversation as well as revealing what the finished product looked like – but admitted that it was a recreation (pictured) as she had not had time to take a snap of the initial cake 

In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 11.6 million times, Brianna films herself making an unrelated Kuromi-themed cake as she shares her story through a voiceover.

She begins: ‘Guys, so my worst nightmare happened. Last week, a lady DMed me and asked if I could make her an emo cake. 

‘And I was thinking “yes of course” I love emo, and I love goth, and I know I have been perfecting my black frosting so I’m ready for this.

‘So I tell her “yes,” I get all the info, the flavor, when she needs it by and everything like that.’

Brianna continues: ‘It’s about an hour before I have to deliver the cake. I have the cake ready and I think let me just offer her a number candle.’

She reached out to the customer who confirmed she would like a ‘four’ candle which sparked alarm bells with the baker.

Brianna said: ‘I thought that was a little bit weird because I don’t know an emo four-year-old but I was trying to reason with myself maybe she just likes Wednesday or something like that but something felt wrong.’

She decided to text back and asked what the theme of the party was to which the customer replied that it was Sesame Street.

She posted a subsequent TikTok to share the text conversation as well as revealing what the finished product looked like

Brianna, who recently achieved a Master of Business Administration, later mocked up the cake with a literal ‘Emo Elmo’ on top as decoration (pictured)

Speaking about the revelation, Brianna said: ‘My heart sinks a little bit because this is not making sense to me and I think let me just go back to my texts and when I scroll back, I misread “emo” and it said an “Elmo” cake.’

She concludes: ‘So there I am an hour before delivery in line at Albertons [grocery store], begging them to throw an Elmo topper onto a cake.’

The baker delivered the cake and told the customer that it was going to be free of charge.

Brianna uploaded the clip alongside a caption that read: ‘I can’t believe myself.’

She posted a subsequent TikTok to share the text conversation as well as revealing what the finished product looked like – but admitted that it was a recreation as she had not had time to take a snap of the initial cake. 

The social media star wrote: ‘Heard y’all wanted a reveal??? Sorry it took long, I would’ve included photos in the original if I had them but like I said I was in a rush. 

‘Anyway here’s the freaking emo Elmo cake okay!’

And other social media users were quick to see the funny side of the mishap, telling Brianna they had ‘never laughed so hard’

And other TikTok users were left in hysterics at the honest mistake.

One wrote: ‘I can’t stop laughing! I love this so much! I think it turned out great either way!’

Another added: ‘This is so funny. Elmo with a side bang has me in tears.’

And a third said: ‘I wouldn’t even be mad, I’d be on the floor laughing. HELP.’

Brianna, who now has more than 14,000 followers on TikTok, has since told Today: ‘It’s crazy because I’ve never had a big following on any platform or for any reason.’

She said she had since been inundated with requests but is having to take some time off after breaking her wrist.
