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."
Mariah Carey, Marie Curie. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
Siobhan's cousin, author Harriet Alida Lye of
Toronto, shared the funny mix-up on Twitter:
My cousin in England told her colleagues she
wanted a Mariah Carey birthday cake. They misunderstood, and is the cake they
made her instead. It’s Marie Curie, looking very festive.

To which Mariah Carey, not Marie Curie (who's been
dead for nearly 85 years), replied:
This could've been me if only I hadn't failed
remedial math 🤦♀️ happy birthday Siobhan!! 😘

Can we all just agree that female Nobel Prize
winners should be the new normal for birthday cake decorations?
