Ah, weddings. Those joyous (and sometimes slightly stressful) occasions where two souls become one, surrounded by loved ones, good food, and... cake. But what happens when the bride decides to ditch the fancy bakery and whip up her own wedding cake, just 12 hours before the ceremony? Enter Laura, the self-proclaimed "DIY queen" of TikTok, who found herself in the middle of a viral firestorm.
While most brides spend their pre-wedding hours perfecting their cat-eye or ensuring their veil is wrinkle-free, Laura traded beauty sleep for Betty Crocker. In a video that went viral, Laura documented her journey of baking a multi-tiered wedding cake, complete with rainbow sprinkles, using trusty packet mixes. "It's now midnight the night before our wedding, and I'm icing our cake," she declared, a testament to her dedication (or perhaps, a hint of last-minute wedding jitters?).

Predictably, the internet had mixed reactions. Some commenters took the opportunity to unleash their inner critic, with gems like "This has to be a joke" and "Nah looks more like a bday cake." One particularly helpful soul even suggested Laura should've consulted YouTube tutorials beforehand.
But thankfully, the internet isn't all negativity. Laura's post was soon flooded with supportive comments, with many praising her resourcefulness and creativity. "I do cakes for a living, I think this is so cute," wrote one professional baker. Another chimed in, "I loved your cake honey! Why do people need to criticize something she put so much love into?"
Ultimately, the message is clear: it's your wedding, your cake, your call. As long as Laura and her partner were happy with their sprinkle-tastic creation (and let's be honest, who wouldn't be?), that's all that matters. And hey, if it tasted delicious (which, with all that love poured in, it most certainly did!), then who cares what the internet has to say?
If our Grammy Goddess Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers and write her name in the sand, then Laura, you can surely bake your own wedding cake. Now, pass that fork this way, and tell the internet to fork off!
