THERE are certain milestones in life that we want to go all out for and celebrate.

And turning 18 and becoming an adult is one of those.

So one young woman decided to treat herself to a stunning birthday cake for her party, but was left mortified when she picked it up.

Ellie, who lives in Australia, shared the cake fail on Facebook revealed that she paid £129 ($230) for her dream cake.

But when she saw it in person she compared it to 'kids volcano school project' and was left 'devastated'.

The young woman sensed something was wrong when the baker asked her to send the design three times because the baker 'couldn't remember' what she wanted.

And when she finally got to pick up the cake from the professional baker it was so bad she couldn't even eat it as it was covered in 'candle wax' icing and dead flowers.

Ellie shared the baking blunder to a Facebook group alongside pictures of what she wanted and what she got.

She wrote: "This was a professional baker and I had to send in the inspiration picture three times as they couldn't remember what I had wanted."

Ellie explained she had 'no words' when she got the cake, but has since gotten a full refund.
