“I'm sorry for what happened to you. But bro, this is funny,” wrote an Instagram user while reacting to a video about a cake ordered on Zomato.
A woman took to Instagram to share about her ‘perfect order’ from Zomato. In a video, she explained how she ordered a birthday cake for her brother from the food delivery app with some specific instructions regarding cutlery. However, when she got the cake, she was bewildered to see those instructions written on the cake alongside her message for her sibling.

“Thanks @zomato for the perfect order! We absolutely loved the extra efforts!” Instagram user and content creator Mihika Asrani wrote while sharing the video on Instagram. She also added a laughing out loud emoticon.
In the video, Asrani explained that she ordered a cake for her brother’s birthday from Zomato and left instructions to add a message on the cake that read ‘Happy Birthday Himansu’. She also unchecked the ‘Don’t Send Cutlery’ option on the app. When she received the cake, however, it came with not just the birthday message but also ‘Don’t send cutlery’ written on it.
