Still a nice gesture at least

I forget my age sometimes.

It's the thought that counts

it is the thought that counts

What I want to know is... Who spends 4 DAYS planning a birthday cake? Maybe a party but just the cake?

#62, Well, if she were planning to make the cake herself or was deciding on how she wanted the bakery to make it. Yeah..it is possible for the cake to take a bit of time. I always plan what I'm going to do a few months ahead so that when it's time to do what ever. I'm not rushing and doing a sloppy job of it.

I would take it as a compliment if they shaved off a couple years. If they added them however…

maybe she was trying to make him feel better about his age and take a few off... but it didn't work as she planned and she just played it off..?

83 - I know, it sucks when your finger hits the mute button ;)

She made him a really nice cake that she put a lot of effort into. Getting his age wrong was probably a bit of a damper but she still made a huge effort to make his birthday awesome for him.

Since in this case, the girl forgot the guys' age, he could have just laughed it off. Regardless of the actual results, this is kinda mostly an FML because of how embarrassed OP must have been to have forgotten.

if it were a younger age than my own I would have just rolled with it.

way to fail. YDI mectain.

Way to win Ctrl H. Good on you.

What if they put too many instead of too few?

"The pack came with this many candles." "For every candle on this cake, is a decade I will love you." "One candle for ever year, and one more for every time you make me smile in a minute." "You are wise beyond your years, and I often forget that you are so young." "Screw the cake, screw me." Yeah, there are ways to fix this too.

I love the last one

"I put one extra on for luck"

I don't know about you, but i bet he's 32. She obviously didn't know.

Especially if its chocolate! I barely remember my parents ages so OP, don't worry. It's not that serious.

I don't even know my parents age. I asked them once when I was younger and my dad was 40 and Mom was 36 and I just assumed they would be immortal and stay that age.
