A soon-to-be mother is going viral online for her video in which she called out a bakery for allegedly ruining her gender reveal surprise by telling her what color was inside her cake.

In the video, TikTok user “morbidmama7,” who is called “Ariel” in the video, plays a voicemail message left for her by an unnamed bakery about a problem with her cake order as she makes faces. She says that she asked for a cake that would have a raspberry filling if she’s having a child who will be assigned female at birth and a blackberry filling if she’s having a child who will be assigned male at birth.
