Today, it's my birthday. At my workplace, we always get a cake for whoever's birthday it is. They somehow forgot about me. I've been working there for a year, and my grandparents and my dad own the restaurant I work at. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, it was my birthday. Normally, the little office I work in throws a big party for every employee on their special day, but nothing was done for me, not even a "Happy Birthday" came my way. I didn't want to be rude, so I stayed silent. They didn't do anything because I was getting laid off. 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 my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, my boss threw a party for everyone in the office who has a birthday in September. Everyone got a cake with their names on it except me. My birthday is today. 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, my cleaner wished me a happy birthday. My family and friends forgot. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My boss's birthday is 5 days away. Instead of wishing me happy birthday, the staff decided to surprise my boss with an early gift. We also had to take a picture of him with everyone. I work at another branch alone, and had to post the picture to social media. Happy Birthday to me, I guess. FML
Today, my grandparents took me out for dinner for my birthday. After singing, "Happy birthday dear…" they froze. I had to say my own name because they'd forgotten it. FML
Today, my coworkers surprised me with a birthday cake. It was really sweet, until I realized it was for another “Chris” who works in accounting. They only noticed after I blew out the candles. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I had to work. My boss wished me a happy birthday, and then told me I was fired. FML

Stand on a table and start singing "Happy Birthday" to yourself. That might inform them.

What even makes you assume she wants to be a restaurant owner ? She might already have career projects

they didn't want to show favoritism...

It's not favoritism if they get a cake for every employee (including OP).

but the op was family, some people when in a managers/owners position and working with family are harder on them than other employees so the employees don't think they're showing family members favoritism my husband worked with his cousin and was way harder on the cousin than the other workers working with my dad he was an ass to me and nicer to other people working for/with us, and I've seen/heard of the same situation from friends

Yes, but it's still not favoritism if you treat family like everybody else.
