Love: Today, my girlfriend surprised me with what was allegedly a birthday...

Today, my girlfriend surprised me with what was allegedly a birthday "cake". It was so horribly deformed, I wasn't sure whether to eat it or wear it as a hat. I had to pretend it didn't taste like play-doh, and ended up throwing it up in the toilet. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, we were celebrating my birthday and my boyfriend thought it would be funny to shove my face in the cake. While the candles were still lit. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. 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

Caked out

Today, I meant to surprise my boyfriend by baking him a cake. When I took it out of the oven, I realized I had accidentally used salt instead of sugar. He tried to eat it anyway, and ended up spitting chunks of it out all over me. FML

The cake from hell

Today, I tried to bake a cake for my friend's birthday. It turned out looking more like a science experiment gone wrong than a cake. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I lit my birthday candles on the cake I made myself and blew them out alone, while my worthless husband sat on the couch stuffing Doritos in his face. My present? He sprayed Lysol in the bathroom after he took a dump. FML

Smashed

Today, I celebrated my birthday with a few friends at home. As I bent down over my cake, my friend pushed my face into it. The baker should've told me she put a stick in it to support the cake. FML

Today, it was my birthday. But instead of a decent surprise, my friends decided to smash a cake on my face and unhook my dress, while taking a video of it. In a public shopping mall. FML

Today, I was celebrating my birthday when my friend gave me chocolate as a gift. I wasn't suspecting anything and ate about half of it before I noticed something strange. It turned out there were some kind of worms living in it and the chocolate was about a year after the expiration date. I got sick. FML

Today, my demented asswipe of a lab partner thought it'd be funny to replace the birthday gift I bought for my girlfriend with the large intestine of a recently-dissected dog. My girlfriend nearly fainted when she opened the gift box, and accused me of planning the whole thing. FML

You should be happy that someone went through the effort to try to make you happy, even if it didn't turn out great.

Depending on how close you two are or how long you have been in the relationship, you could have just told her. I'm sure if she had some too and you weren't saying anything, she was thinking it too and just wasn't saying anything either. If you had have said something maybe she would have understood and took you out somewhere or went and bought you a new cake instead :)

Good question! Follow up definitely required OP...

Question is did she eat any...or was she mad at him over something and made the cake especially for him.

I feel like op over exaggerated. it's not that hard to make a cake.

Props to OP for eating it anyways! He had the best in mind for his girlfriend. He wanted her to know that he appreciated the gesture.

Yeah, even though it kinda sounds like OP doesn't want to tell her so her feelings don't get hurt...if he's scared of her breaking up with him or getting in a fight over this...she's not worth it. But for now she tried baking you a cake and you tried eating it. It gets better...just have a talk with her.

that's what I was thinking. No one forced him to keep eating it. as someone who can't cook, a) it takes a lot of effort and b) I'd rather you just say, something is seriously wrong than to get sick. but either way, I'd hope you would appreciate that I tried... fml is filled with people who are completely forgotten, by their own mothers, no less. this doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

I disagree. The girlfriend would obviously know she can't bake to save her life, if it was really that bad. She should have gotten him a nice, edible cake and kept the experimentation for another time, so he didn't have to spend his birthday hunched over the toilet.

someone went out of their way to try and make you happy. It was nice of you to eat it, but you should try and keep a good attitude! It's the thought that counts :)
