Canadians from coast-to-coast are getting a giggle today out of what might be the funniest cake decorating fail since someone mistook graduation "cap" for actual "cat."

The tale begins in Mascouche, Quebec, where the parents of a young sports fan named Jacob started planning his eighth birthday party.

Knowing that Jacob loves nothing more than hockey — and, in particular, the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs — his parents planned a party at a Montreal arena and put in an order in for a custom cake bearing the Maple Leafs logo.

The boy's stepmother, Tania Levesque, posted a photo of the finished product on Facebook Saturday evening.

"So Jacob was asking for a Toronto Maple Leafs cake for his birthday. The Pastry Chef of course was on google to find the logo but didn't write... from Toronto," wrote Levesque in her post, which has since been shared nearly 1,500 times.

"So this party is sponsored by the cold meats."

That's right: The baker confused Maple Leafs —Toronto's NHL team — with Maple Leaf — one of Canada's largest packaged meat brands.

Jacob's father picked up the cake while en route to his son's birthday party this weekend, but didn't get a chance to look inside the box until he got there, according to CBC Montreal.

While shocked and confused by what they saw on the cake, the boy's parents laughed off the silly mistake and served it anyway.

When asked what happened, Levesque told the CBC that the unnamed bakery she went to didn't have a Toronto Maple Leafs stencil on hand. She suggested they simply Google the logo and put it on Jacob's cake.

Something seems to have been lost in translation along the way, but kids attending the party ate the cold cut-themed cake all the same —  except for Jacob, who Levesque said refused to try it.

Some might say, as a Maple Leafs fan in Quebec, that the boy had it coming.
