One woman was eager to spoil her family with a delicious cake for Easter but unfortunately, it didn’t work out the way she had hoped.
In the photo she posted to Instagram the cake can be clearly seen falling apart and although she tried to hide the mess with icing and mini chocolate eggs, the damage was irreparable.
‘I promise you I tried. I can’t decorate cake, it’s not even an April fool prank,’ the woman wrote on Instagram.
Another person tried to recreate an image they found of an Easter bunny cake, to only have a much sadder looking rabbit come to fruition.
