Why didnt you have a gender keeper, one of the top comments asked.her face expression is painfully very millenial, someone else said. Others took her side: No because why couldnt she just say, can you give us a call about your order?'Another suggested she cancel the cake order and tell the bakery, I actually dont need the cake anymore because you ruined the surprise.The video was posted to X, where people were decidedly more critical of Ariel, saying that this isnt a real problem, that gender reveal parties are uncouth, that the bakery worker was just doing her job, and even that blackberry and raspberry filling look very similar so there wouldnt have been much of a reveal. Why is it not surprising that someone self-indulgent enough to have a "gender reveal party" gets pissy that someone nice and professional, just doing their job, can't accommodate her every demand?

She prob assumed it was a friend or family member who placed the order. You need support from others to throw a gender reveal without a hitch. Someone else shouldve done the cake without parents involved. Mom shouldnt be mad at the badina (@1futhermucker) October 15, 2024 No one has mentioned that she wouldve ruined her own gender reveal anyways by not knowing blackberry and raspberry fillings are basically the same color. https://t.co/DTSIxhNYkC pic.twitter.com/utEm0Ml3rL anna (@nuevaorIeans) October 17, 2024You ever just look at someone and instantly know they are insufferable to servers? https://t.co/hJyfBI23a7 spooky scary skeletoph (@Tophurrr) October 17, 2024 THE BAKERY FUCKED UP MY FETAL GENITAL PARTY https://t.co/aIHBg1P8m8 NillaHo (@vanillahorilla) October 16, 2024Poor thing.

(@ProgSnog) October 15, 2024So instead of leaving someone elses number for cake updates .she left her own number and blamed the bakery for ruining her gender reveal when it was actually her own poor planning ? Okay Nova (@NomiMalone202) October 15, 2024 all bakeries should do this even if they have the ingredients in stock Jesus Needs a Minute (@e_p82) October 17, 2024Need to start a bakery. Gonna make it my life's work to ruin as many gender reveal parties as possible. Mark (@sudden_damage) October 17, 2024 Im so tired of gender reveals. Just fg let ppl know. Ariel Gonzalez (@ArielGonzalez_1) October 16, 2024Kindof weird that a random baker would know the gender of your child before you do.
