The term “minimalist” can have different interpretations, and if you’re unlucky enough, you may find yourself hiring the services of someone who takes the word too literally.

Unfortunately, some professionals overestimate their abilities to copy the photo reference and end up delivering a product that makes thebridecry.

This is what happened to Georgia Walker, who recently shared the frustrating “expectations versus reality” comparison of her wedding cake.

Moreover, the mishap took place hours before her nuptials.

“The day before my wedding. So excited to pick up my wedding cake en route with my dog,”Georgia postedon June 15, sharing a photo of herself smiling in her car.

“Going for a more minimalist look and so happy she said she could do it from this reference,” she wrote in the next slide, along with a picture of a heart-shapedcakewith neat frosting detailing around the edges and the words “just married” delicately written in the center.

“Queue the crying,” Georgia wrote.

“This is the kind of delusional confidence I wish I had in my abilities,” a third user added.

A separate person chimed in, writing, “This is actually really upsetting. It doesn’t look like they’ve even decorated a cake in their life.”

“Did you look at her other work?! I think she is not a professional,” another individual suggested. Georgia replied, “I swear previous cakes looked fine. I’d rather she told me the icing style wasn’t in the realm of expertise.” In another comment, she clarified that she didn’t get a refund for the dessert.
