We've all wanted to celebrate at least one birthday with an . But sometimes the more extravagant we're willing the get, the greater the potential for things to take a disastrous turn. And that's exactly what happened to ehsan, a Reddit user who claims to have ordered a Minnie Mouse-inspired birthday cake for their niece's birthday only to have the final product come out looking .
