LONDON -- When you order a customised cake -- no matter how detailed you are about what you want -- you're never 100% sure what the finished product is going to look like.
The Seggie family learned this lesson recently, after a custom-made cake ordered for Laura Seggie's 21st birthday came back with a confusing addition.
Laura's sister Emily Seggie explained to Mashable that her mum asked a friend to make the cake, and sent the following text with a description of what she wanted: a plain white cake with a grey ribbon and bow, and a blonde girl on the top.
But, as you can see from the text above, autocorrect had other ideas.

"My mum realised the mix up when she went to collect the cake and it didn't have a blonde girl on it, then my mum's friend showed her the text," Emily told Mashable. "At first my sister wanted to take it off but then decided to keep it on."
Emily said they were apprehensive at first that it could be considered offensive, but found the funny side and eventually decided to leave the cake as it was.
