Love and Cooking: Ungrateful!

Ungrateful!

Today, I explained to my dad that I had spent over three hours baking, frosting, and decorating a cake from scratch and how proud I was of it. Without even looking up at me, he replied, "You really need a boyfriend." FML

Today, my boyfriend said he felt like eating icing. So I baked him cupcakes, put icing on them and decorated them. When I handed them to him, he picked off the decoration, licked the icing and handed the cupcake back to me, saying, "I told you that's all I wanted." FML

Today, I was baking cookies. I stared at them for 15 minutes and finally asked my dad, "Why are these taking so long?" He looked up at the oven and replied, "It might help if you turn the oven on." FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I was sad I'd forgotten to bake him the cookies that I was planning to send to him for Christmas. His response was "Good, you suck at cooking anyway." FML

Today, I spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML

Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad came in to ask if I wanted the rest of his cake. I'd made it for my cousin's wedding, and spent 2 days preparing it. The wedding is tomorrow. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend's mother has invented a new kind of cake and named it after me: not because it's delicious, but because of the amount of fat in it. FML

Today, I finally got to surprise my boyfriend with a birthday cake. I spent four days planning the perfect one. First thing he says? "Erm, you know I'm 32, right?" I got his age wrong. FML

Today, my boyfriend, who is a great cook, decided to try his hand at baking. The cookies he made looked weird but tasted good. I jokingly said, "They taste great, but they look awful!" He responded by saying, "I could say the same thing about you." FML

Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML

Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML

I hope you can get past what your dad said, but sometimes parents say things they don't really mean. But I hope you continue to enjoy baking!

He means you need a boyfriend to help you eat that delicious cake! There's no way you and your dad can finish out by yourselves, and it would be such a shame to meet it go to waste.

He may be right. Being able to do something like that is great and all, but nothing is legendary without someone there to enjoy it with.

Should have told him you were making bait. Most sensible men will not turn delicious cake.

Parents everywhere will start pushing you to get in relationship at certain age. Myself I'm stuck wondering if I want to get new gf or a sports car ;)

Definetly the sports car. Moans lest, turns on and off with a key, and always stays where you left it! As you can tell I've never had sex.

If cooking is your passion, stay with it OP. Baking is a rare and beautiful hobby. Boyfriends may not last forever, but the knowledge of baking a cake will last with you forever and will undoubtedly make a limitless amount of people happy.
