Celebration goes wrong: Bakery of Shark Tank India fame makes blunder on birthday cake, writes embarrassing message
The user paid ₹ 400 for a 300g chocolate truffle bento cake. The birthday cake order, placed via Swiggy, asked for the message 'Mummy' written in frosting.
However, the bakery misunderstood and wrote 'MUMMY… TEXT WITH FROSTING…' directly on the cake.

When the customer contacted the brand on WhatsApp, customer service allegedly offered no help. It simply stated that a refund or change wasn't possible.
Despite the user demanding accountability and calling out the ruined celebration, Creme Castle allegedly refused to resolve the issue. The screenshots of the order slip, cake and chat were posted under the 'r/sharktankindia' subreddit. Here's why.
Creme Castle was featured on Shark Tank India Season 3, Episode 35. The bakery, run by Pranjay Mittal and Veena Mittal from Noida, is known for customised cakes delivered within two hours.
The company offer cakes, pastries cheesecakes and more. The company claimed to offer 40% lower prices than other brands.
'No bakery in the world has more designs and flavour profiles than Creme Castle,' Pranjay Mittal claimed on the Shark Tank India episode.
It has many outlets in Delhi NCR. Before appearing on the show, it already served over 5 lakh customers, it said.
On the show, the company asked for ₹ 60 lakh for 1.5% equity, valuing their brand at ₹ 40 crore. After discussions, CarDekho's Amit Jain invested ₹ 60 lakh for 2.5% equity.
LiveMint has reached out to the company and is awaiting a formal statement. Meanwhile, a company insider said the company had already settled the dispute with the customer.
Some social media users shared similar experiences in the Reddit thread. One of them criticised the bakery and claimed their family had suffered from food poisoning after eating the company's fruit cake.
'Complained but ZERO replies. No accountability,' the user wrote.
However, some users thought it was not an issue to ask for a refund for.
'Honestly, all you had to do was remove the chocolate disc on which it was written. Why make such a fuss? And I agree it was very weird of you to ask for refund for such petty thing,' one user said.

Raising Kids Is Costly? These Citizens Get Rs 25,000 Per Month For Each Child. This Nation Is...
In Germany, there is no income limit for receiving Kindergeld. If you belong to the high-income group, you may find the tax-free child allowance. Raising a child in India demands an immense financial commitment. Recently, a Chennai-based couple uploaded a post on Reddit sharing the monetary strain they have been navigating while raising their baby in the metropolitan city. In short, the parents revealed that they struggle to even manage a savings of Rs 8,000 every month despite a combined earning of Rs 78,000. On the contrary, there's Germany, where the government offers substantial support to parents through the Kindergeld policy. A digital creator recently explained the scheme through a playful video on Instagram. The clip shows the creator interacting with one of his friends, telling him that although he would love to have kids, the expenses involved in raising them are simply overwhelming. That's when the other person informed his friend about Kindergeld. As per the rules, all parents in Germany are entitled to receive child benefits to raise their child. One among them is Kindergeld, a monthly mode of payment offered to parents, regardless of their income. Kindergeld — All You Need To Know As of 2025, the Family Benefits Office at the Federal Employment Agency provides 255 euros per month to parents, ensuring that the basic needs of their offspring are met. What's more, the same rule applies to adopted children as well. They can live in any part of the world and still receive the same amount of money, provided the parents are fully taxable in Germany and the child remains financially or legally dependent on them. In Germany, there is no income limit for receiving Kindergeld. If you belong to the high-income group, you may find the tax-free child allowance more beneficial than the regular child benefit. On the other hand, those from a low-income background are equally eligible to receive an extra payment called the supplementary child allowance, along with the regular benefit. Who Claims Kindergeld And How Long It Lasts Since only one of the parents will get the benefit, couples have to decide who will claim it. If the parents are separated, the person who holds the primary custody should apply for it. Kindergeld is also applicable to any guardian, grandparent, or carer the child lives with. Parents will receive Kindergeld till their child turns 18, but if they are unemployed or have a disability, then payments can continue beyond that age. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mumbai Woman's Morphed Nude Photos Sent To Family Despite Loan Repayment
Mumbai: A 25-year-old woman in Mumbai was allegedly harassed by a loan app firm and her morphed nude photographs were shared with her relatives and friends, even as she handed over an amount of money that was more than what she borrowed. According to the police, the victim from Kranti Nagar area in Jogeshwari West said she was in need of money when she came across an advertisement of a mobile app called "Cash Loan" on Instagram. On July 20, she downloaded the app and shared all her personal information and details pertaining to her Aadhaar card and bank account as part of the formalities. The woman, the police added, applied for a loan of Rs 2,000 but received only Rs 1,300 for a period of six days. However, even before the loan period could end, the woman allegedly started receiving threats from a person who introduced himself as an employee of the loan firm. The caller, she told the police, threatened to share obscene photos of her on social media if she did not immediately return the money. Out of fear, the woman sent Rs 1,000 twice to a person named "Sandesh Kumar" via a payment app. However, an hour later, the woman's aunt called her to inform her that she had received a morphed nude photograph of the woman on WhatsApp by an unknown sender. Within minutes, the same photograph was allegedly shared with two of the woman's friends from the same number. Not knowing what to do, the woman approached her father, who then approached the police for help. The accused allegedly threatened to tarnish the woman's reputation, the police said, citing the victim's complaint. A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered and a probe is underway.
