AITA… Gender reveal ruined

We asked a friend who makes speciality dog treats to make a gender reveal cake for our pups (we always try including them and thought it would be great marketing for her as her first gender reveal dog cake). We told her we wanted this surprise and planned it months ago. Yesterday my boyfriend drove through 2 hours of city traffic to drop the envelope off at her house. Today, while we were both at work, we got an instagram message from her saying, “got the envelope.” then “omg congratulations on the <gender>!!!!! So excited for you guys!!!” 🤦🏻‍♀️
She had one job… I know hormones are real and this is first world problems, but I hate this special moment got reduced to an instagram message when we weren’t even together. My boyfriend is upset and doesn’t want to pay for the cake – to be honest, I don’t want the cake at all anymore. We planned this reveal to be on Christmas Day and I feel like even looking at the cake is going to make me angry 😮‍💨 and dog cakes aren’t necessarily cheap…
AITA for cancelling the order? (I haven’t yet but think I will shortly)
I offered to my boyfriend we buy toys in that colour instead, wrap them together and make a new moment out of this on Christmas so we can still surprise the family, get cute puppy pics and not look at the cursed cake 😅
