A disgusted dad has slammed an Australian supermarket after bakers allegedly ruined his son's frog-themed birthday cake with their 'pathetic' decorating skills.
In preparation for his son Mason's third birthday, Shane Hallford, 43, claims to have forked out $49 on a special birthday cake from his local Woolworths store in Tamworth, New South Wales, on November 11.
The dad-of-two claims his request for a frog-themed birthday cake was confirmed by the store three days prior to picking it up – but the policeman and his wife Amy, 29, were both horrified to discover that their son's cake looked 'nothing' like what they ordered.
'They told me it could be done, no worries at all. He wrote down everything I said and said it would be ready by Sunday morning. I was very excited to see it,' Mr Hallford said.

'I went down to pick it up on the morning of Mason's birthday party. I was in a rush getting extra supplies and didn't actually check it at the store because it was in a huge box,' he added.
'I just assumed it would be fine. When I got home, I opened it up with my wife and we were both mortified.'
Instead of a colourful number three and a big green frog decoration they had envisioned, the 'mortified' parents were met with a 'pathetic' smiley face and small 'three' both written in green icing.

'Amy was very upset, as our guests were arriving in a couple of hours. We thought we would have to try and bake something else,' he said.
'I decided to just ring Woolworths to see if they could fix it. I explained the situation but was told that they didn't "decorate" cakes.'
Mr Hallford explained that because the supermarket has lovely looking pre-made cakes he thought they would do a good job.
'They told me it could be done, no worries at all. He wrote down everything I said and said it would be ready by Sunday morning. I was very excited to see it,' Mr Hallford said
'They do this every day for a living. Surely, they could have done something better than this,' he said.
Shane said the 'pathetic' cake forced his family to seek help from another cake decorator who thankfully 'saved' his son's birthday cake just twenty minutes before guests arrived.
And despite the initial 'disaster', Shane said his son Mason still had a great birthday party and enjoyed the 'repaired' version of the cake which featured a frog beside water.

Shane's angry post has since gone viral, racking up thousands of likes and shares on social media.
'A cake is an integral part of any child's birthday party. You want a nice one, so you're able to remember it and take photos,' he said.
'I was most disappointed with just the lack of effort. It seemed like they didn't even care.
'It was a disgrace. I will never be buying cakes from Woolworths again.'
Woolworths told FEMAIL that staff have since reached out the family and provided them with a gift card.
'We're sorry to have disappointed the customer with our cake decorating, particularly on such a special day for the family,' the company said in a statement.
'We’ve been in contact with the customer to apologise and provided them with a $50 Gift Card.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
