Try not to be so literal next time...

A New York City Carvel took a customer’s request for a customized birthday message too literally, leading to a “hilarious” verbatim inscription atop the ice cream cake. The hysterical message came about after casting agent Chelsi Kern ordered a classic Fudgie the Whale cake, she said in an Oct. 3 Threads post. Kern had asked that the cake, a childhood favorite of husband Matthew Bennett’s, cheekily read “RUN” in celebration for his birthday.
A receipt Kern posted showed instructions for the message, requesting that “RUN” be written “(BIG, all caps, creepy if possible).” However, instead of receiving a big, creepy inscription of “RUN” on top of the chocolate whale, the cake decorator took the instructions much more literally. 
That's what happens when you hire people who don't speak English, I guess. Carvel did not respond to a request for comment...
