Today, I got up at 5 am to bake a surprise birthday cake for my 16-year-old son. I put the cake on the table and went to call my son. "Surprise!" When I came back 30 seconds later, the cake was all gone and the dog was licking his lips. My son won't even believe I made a cake. 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 came home to find my dog had learned how to open our fridge. He ate the birthday cake I was saving for a friend's surprise party, and to add insult to injury, he'd also apparently thrown the barely digested cake up all over my bed. FML
Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML
Today, it was my son’s birthday. I took him out to a eat and wanted to surprise him with a new iPhone. I handed the waitress the iPhone and asked her to bring it out with the cake I brought. The cake comes out, without the iPhone. The waitress said she doesn’t know what I’m talking about. FML
Today, it was my son's fifth birthday. I asked my grandmother, who is a baker, to make a birthday cake for the party. Two hours after the party started, she arrived drunk with a large ham with candles 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, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. 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, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, I baked a cake for when my mum came home. I did everything I needed to do and put it in the oven, set the timer and went to do some things around the house. When my mum came home, she asked why there was a uncooked cake mix sitting in the oven. I forgot to turn the oven on. FML

The empty mess on the table clearly showing a dog got into the cake seems like legitimate evidence.

Your dog needs training of some sort. I wouldn't put up with that at all. Hope your son doesn't treat you like a doormat too.

Exactly. My dog knows better than to eat human food from the table, or to even expect that he will ever be given any.

So your dog ate the cake. Is sugar NOT a dogs kryptonite?

Seems unlikely that the dog took the whole cake down in one bite in 30 seconds and left no mess to prove the cake was even there. That's like cartoon level Fml.

Hope it wasn't chocolate

Hope it wasn't sugar-free either. Artificial sweeteners can kill them. There are several foods that are toxic for animals. Chocolate is just the most well known.

Everyone I know who has tried a sugar free cake has sworn to never have one again.

I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners (as in throat swelling allergic), so I can't comment on the taste, but if they are diabetic it might be all they know. People can also be allergic to sugar and have to have the artificial sweeteners. Unfortunately it's possible to be allergic to anything (trust me, I know). Other people only use the artificial stuff because they think it's healthier than sugar while not telling others that they used it because "it's impossible to be allergic" (again, been there heard that, from a nurse at that).

The cake was gone in ...an éclair, then.

Make sure your son takes the dog out for a walk when the cake is making its way out. That should be proof enough for him.
