Mum spends £200 on emergency cake after daughters friend mistook stock image in Facebook post as a real gift
Weve seen plenty of mums who dont quite get Facebook but one mums social media mix-up cost her £200.
Virginia Kavanagh posted a picture of a cake she found on Google when wishing her daughter Laurens friend Beth a happy 18th birthday.
The cake was a personalised frozen cake with the name Beth on the side Olaf on the side and Elsa on top.
She added the message: Happy 18th birthday princess, hope you have a wonderful day, you have always been our favourite!! Lots of love VV & Stephen xxx.
But when Beth responded with a message that suggested she thought the cake was a real gift from Virginia, she panicked.
Beth posted: OMG CANT BELIEVE THIS!! Thank you so much, Virginia and Stephen! Ill need to pop round today and have some xxx.
To this day I still think about when my mum found this random cake on goggle to post happy birthday to Beth and Beth thought my mum bought her the cake. My mum felt too bad to admit it wasnt hers so she paid £200 to get a replica made for the next day
