The mix-up which left a girl with a Little Tony birthday cake instead of My Little Pony
The pastry shop in Sicily misheard the nine-year-old's parents when they ordered the cake and when it arrived, she was left devastated
A nine-year-old Italian girl who asked for a My Little Pony birthday cake was devastated when it arrived bearing the likeness of an Italian crooner from the 1960s called Little Tony.
The mix-up over the similar-sounding names happened when the pastry shop in the town of Gangi, Sicily, that was asked to bake the cake misheard her parents when they placed their order.
Instead of a bright pink pony with an electric blue mane, the little girl, named Evelina, got a cake adorned with the bouffant-haired singer in a sparkly white jacket.
Little Tony, whose real name was Antonio Ciacci, was Italy's answer to Cliff Richard and modelled himself on Elvis.
His stage name was inspired by Little Richard.

2. Someone should have written it down, and then verified it!

I feel sorry for the little girl.

3. The pink pony, Pinkie Pie, does not have an electric blue mane.

In fact none of the Mane Six ponies has an electric blue mane. Take my word for it.

Hope Evelina got some cool pony toys to make up for this FUBAR cake.
