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

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..?

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.

I have to think about it to remember my own age. It's really just a number.

"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.

Well, the surprise worked perfectly! It worked so well even you were surprised when you saw the look on his face, no? Four days of panning not wasted here.

Wow. You really should have known! But I'm sure he understands, and it was a really sweet thing you did.

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

As long as you weren't say, ten years off, I'm sure he'll understand. I doubt he'd get mad anyways. Not when cake is involved.

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.
