Oops.

You heard about the amazingly awesome cake that Kim Kardashian ordered for her bestie? Umm, it’s not doing so well. Actually, it no longer exists.

Page Six first reported that Jonathan Cheban ordered a cake from Divine Delicacies in Miami, but Kardashian decided to super size it as a surprise (because he likes his food really, really big).

The multi-tiered creation, made of vanilla rum, dulce de leche, buttercream and more, reportedly cost Kardashian $10,000.

But what happened to the pricey cake is truly tragic.

On Instagram, Cheban, aka Food God, made a video of the edible treat, which was festooned with Swarovski crystals and some of his fave things, e.g., hot dogs, tacos and ice cream cones.

The clip started in the Divine Delicacies showroom, where it was made. Three men held onto the bottom gingerly as the reality star, 46, gave directions and led them outside to his Rolls Royce convertible.

“Be careful! Be careful!” he shouted as the cake teetered.

As the workers approach the parking lot, suddenly, the unthinkable happens: the giant cake topples over into a giant, disgusting pile.

Cheban looks shocked.

“Are you serious? What happened?!” he says, in a surprisingly calm tone. “Whoa.”

Cheban re-enters the place and a woman there assures him another will be made right away.

“I’m so pissed, bro! Look at this thing! It’s like dead!”

One worker actually picks up a piece from the ground and takes a bite.

“Are these guys eating it?” Cheban says, appalled. “Oh my God.”

That’s what we call having your cake (destroyed) and eating it too.

“It’s all my fault,” he later captioned the video, explaining he rushed the DD staffers, contributing to the accident.

At least he took the blame, even though many commenters thought that the whole thing was a setup for publicity. Even if it were a plot point for a future “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” episode, a perfectly gorgeous dessert got annihilated on the street. And that’s not a good look.

Cheban wrote in the post that Divine Delicacies made another cake for him the next day, just not as big.

We are sure Kim will foot the bill again, right? Kim???
