A baker's hilarious mistake has gone viral, and it's all about an "emo Elmo cake!" Brianna Romero, the baker behind Brinni Cakes, shared the story via a now-viral TikTok and a tweet making the internet laugh.
Romero admitted she misread a customer's request for an "Elmo cake" as an "emo cake" but found out the day before delivery. With less than an hour to go, she rushed to a local grocery store, begged, and pleaded the bakery to throw an Elmo topper on a black cake and presented a free, moody dessert to the customer. "I thought I was a little bit weird because I don't know an emo four-year-old," Romero said. "But I was thinking, I was trying to reason with myself, maybe she just likes Wednesday or something like that."
The image of a depressed, My Chemical Romance-loving Elmo has turned out to be a sensation on social media. On Twitter, a user shared a screenshot of the cake, calling it an "Emo Elmo cake!", and the tweet instantly went viral, clocking over 10.5 million views. The image showed an Elmo with a side-swept fringe, black frosting, and a moody look. The story has many followers asking for a photo of the emo Elmo cake. Romero, in a subsequent TikTok, admitted failing to include the photo in the original video; she presented the full goth reproduction of the Elmo cake in the rest of the video.
