HUTTO, Texas – A sweet message during a streak of not-so-sweet heat that went viral is pretty much how all of us Texans have been feeling lately.

According to our sister station, KSAT, Emily Cormier Hinds posted a TikTok video of a perfectly, hilariously decorated cake she saw at the Hutto H-E-B on Aug. 4.

The cake was covered in white icing, surrounded by crafty suns with the words, “I’m sorry for what I said when it was 109° outside.”

(...HASHTAG, HONESTLY!)

“They have the most adorable little ‘Decorator’s Showcase’ and this little gem was on display,” Hinds told KSAT.

Hinds told the news outlet that she was checking out the bakery section for an upcoming birthday when the apology cake caught her eye.

“I thought it was hysterical! Definitely how we all feel lately,” Hinds told KSAT.

Hinds said she was kicking herself that she didn’t buy it but added that it’s just proof H-E-B has everything you need.

“Maybe I’ll have to have them make a special one for me,” she said.

The TikTok video has more than 430,000 reactions and nearly 18,000 shares as of Tuesday.
