Today, I bought a large ice cream cake. No, there's no occasion, but I did ask the cashier to write "Happy Birthday" on it, just so she wouldn't know I was going to eat it all myself. FML

Today, at the supermarket, I bought a cake and had my friend's name put on it. It wasn't anyone's birthday, I just wanted to feel less ashamed about buying a whole cake for myself. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, I ordered a large stuffed crust supreme pizza for myself. When I picked it up, I asked for extra plates and napkins so the cashier wouldn't know I don't have any friends. FML
Today, I ordered a graduation cake from a woman at the grocery store. She asked me what I wanted the cake to say and I said "Congratulations Annie". Then she asked me who was ordering and I said "Annie". I had to order my own cake. The woman was silent. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'm a pastry chef by profession. Not only did my family buy a cake from my bakery, I had to make it myself and inscribe it with 'Happy Birthday Dad'. The worst part is, they asked money from me to pay for it. FML
Today, I picked up my online grocery order. The clerk asked about the party, because he assumed I was having one because of all the ice cream I'd ordered. I'm bulimic and everything was for me. FML
Today, all that I wanted for my birthday was for someone else to pick out a cake flavor, and to spend the day alone. I've been asked ten times what kind of cake I want, and my husband took a off work. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my friend who has the same birthday by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. The waiter brought out a cake for my friend but not for me. No one noticed my exclusion. I sang happy birthday on my birthday. FML
Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML

Just go to a public place with the cake, make some friends by sharing.

It's impossible not to make friends when you have cake.

Exactly

If you give me ice cream cake I will be your friend!

There's nothing wrong with eating a whole ice cream cake by yourself. Absolutely none...

Who says op wants friends? I do the same thing sometimes. Cake is amazing.

I think the problem is that OP is fat enough to eat a cake by him/herself, not that he /she has no friends.

#56 where the hell did you get the idea that the point of this FML was that OP is fat? Quick assumption don't ya think? Nothing wrong with eating a whole cake.
Googolman 29
I just used the wrong wording. What I meant to say is that OP did not want the cashier to know that he would be capable of eating an entire cake, not necessarily that the OP is fat.

But I don't understand why OP was so embarrassed that she felt the need to write "Happy Birthday" on the cake. Lots of people buy or make cakes just to eat. No need to feel ashamed OP, next time just go buy whatever cake you want.

Not generally to eat all by themselves

I'm not sure there is anything wrong with this either. In fact reading makes me want an ice cream cake. I haven't had one in a long time. Yes I probably will go out and buy one to eat by myself.

#28 your profile pic screw the crap out of me!

except that its extremely unhealthy
Brandi_Faith 33
47, it's only unhealthy if OP eats it all at once. As someone already stated, it would be no different than someone making a batch of brownies, you don't eat it all in one sitting but you do eat it all.

#47, so is bacon, but that doesn't mean I will stop eating that food of the Gods.

My sentiments exactly. How pathetic is OP. This is s total YDI post. And really an entire cake!??!!
captainsmegma 12
Just as long as you don't eat it all at once. Otherwise I have to say oink.

What if OP is from the kind of people who eat a lot and never get fat? and even if not, that was really rude. Everyone is free to do what they want, keep your chin up OP!

#10 just because someone isn't fat doesn't necessarily mean they are healthy, just that they may have a fast metabolism

No shame OP. You deserve that ice cream

Gluttony will come back to haunt you if you're not careful

There's absolutely nothing wrong there. You're not going to eat the whole thing in one sitting are you? No? Then you're good to go. It's no different than a single person making a batch of brownies. They'll just eat them over a period of days. Same thing here.
