Today, I made two cakes. One for my boyfriend's birthday tomorrow, the other for my family so they wouldn't eat the birthday cake. I came home to find they ate half of each. FML

Okay, to answer a few questions: yes, the flavors were the same. Yes, my parents knew I'd be baking two cakes. The reason they ate from each is that my grandma put the "family" cake in the fridge without telling anyone, so they assumed the remaining cake was for them (grandma is a little forgetful). No, I can't combine them, I used "half" but it's half for one and a bit more than 1/3 from the other. No, not putting laxatives, I love baking and they bought me more ingredients to use.

Let me guess, you made different flavors? Or they felt like being jackasses.

Next time, ice "Happy Birthday" on one and "Enjoy!" on the other like someone suggested earlier. If Grandma forgets again, at least the writing will prevent another frustrating day. =) Happy Birthday to your boyfriend!

I typically do, but his mom wanted the top plain because she bought these really awesome Happy Birthday candles.

There's always a grandparent involved somewhere in an FML

Fyl, but at least they bought you new baking stuff. I guess next time try writing "family" on the cake in frosting and let them know you labeled it. Plus it'd turn it into a bit of a joke.

Did they eat the 1/3 or is it a 1/3 remaining? If it's a 1/3 eaten you can still make a whole cake. That really sucks though. I feel your pain.

Take both halves and put them together and get one complete cake. If your good at cake decorating, you can maybe make it look like one flawless cake.

How does this even qualify as an fml if the problem was resolved and you get to bake again which you love to do anyway?

Well if grandma and everyone else got confused about which cake to eat, I have to ask: Why didn't one of them say 'Happy Birthday'? They kinda couldn't have screwed that one up.

Well one could still have said "family" or "enjoy" or "you are not invited" :)

Put the other halves a together...they may not match but still it's a full cake...

A half and a third do not make a whole.

Replace the missing part with icecream.

I've never been good with fractions but two halves make a whole doesn't it? Put em together lol :p

Who does that anyway? I can't believe they couldn't just eat the cake you gave them. The nerve of some people...
