When she got back in the car after her trip to the bakery, she told the camera, “I’m like so upset right now and so sad, and I need to deal with this and process this before I get home to my husband, because I don’t want to ruin it for him.”

She shared that the woman she ordered the cake from “just ruined” the sex reveal for her. “The gender is in this envelope,” she explained. “And it was sealed after my appointment.” She handed it to the bakery worker and told them, “You don’t have to confirm the order to me, you don’t have to print me a receipt.” She picked one flavor out if the sex was female, and another if the sex was male.

“I just wanted to find out with my husband and my toddler,” she said, tearing up. “And like what was I doing to do, starting crying in front of her and be angry and make a scene?”

In the caption, she added, “This is what I get for planning a party and wanting to do something fun instead of just finding out at the ultrasound.”

Bri updated her followers on the situation inanother video posted the next day. When she went to pick up the cake, she told the manager the full story. The manager was “horrified” and “so apologetic” and ended up calling the bakery’s owner.

The owner was “so genuinely sorry” for taking the moment from her and asked what she could do to make it right. Bri noted that insurance didn’t pay for the original ultrasound and she just wanted the money back for the cake.

The owner said she was of course going to give them the cake for free, and also threw in free cupcakes to share with her family. The owner “totally got it” she said, and Bri said she wasn’t going to name the bakery because she knew it was “an accident.” She added, “They really tried their best to resolve the situation.” She ultimately wasn’t mad and still loves this bakery so much.
