A woman’s birthday celebration took an unexpected and amusing turn after a cake that was ordered through a food delivery app arrived with an unusual message iced on it.
Instead of a personalised birthday greeting, the cake featured the words “leave at security” written in frosting, a phrase typically used as a delivery instruction when ordering food for gated buildings.
The incident quickly drew attention on social media after the woman, identified as Nakshatra, shared a video of the cake that was delivered for her special day.
Birthday cake caption mix up
In the short clip shared on Instagram, Nakshatra is seen at her birthday gathering with the cake placed in front of her. She appeared momentarily stunned upon seeing the message before bursting into laughter along with others present. The message on the cake was not a birthday wish, but rather the instruction meant for the delivery person, which was mistakenly taken as the text to be iced on top of the cake.
Nakshatra explained the mix‑up in the caption accompanying her video. She wrote that her friend had ordered the cake from Zomato for her birthday and that the cake maker had literally included the delivery instruction “leave at security” on the cake itself. The error turned what was meant to be a celebratory moment into a hilarious one for those present.
‘Most honest cake ever’
Since being posted, the clip has gone viral and sparked a range of reactions online, garnering more than a million views. Social media users responded with laughter and light‑hearted comments about the unusual icing message.
“This is the most honest cake I have ever seen,” a user wrote online. Another wrote, “At least the instructions were followed perfectly.”
A third viewer joked, “Security deserves a slice for being mentioned like this.” Another reaction read, “When delivery notes become decorations.”
