Woman asks for Mariah Carey on her birthday cake, gets Marie Curie instead

A woman in England named Siobhan asked her colleagues to put pop star Mariah Carey's image on her birthday cake. Instead, she got French physicist Marie Curie on it.

Lye writes, "They misunderstood, and [this] is the cake they made her instead. It’s Marie Curie, looking very festive."

Siobhan's cousin, author Harriet Alida Lye of Toronto, shared the funny mix-up on Twitter:
