Today, I bought a large ice cream cake. No, there's no occasion, but I did ask the cashier to write "Happy Birthday" on it, just so she wouldn't know I was going to eat it all myself. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the supermarket, I bought a cake and had my friend's name put on it. It wasn't anyone's birthday, I just wanted to feel less ashamed about buying a whole cake for myself. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, I ordered a large stuffed crust supreme pizza for myself. When I picked it up, I asked for extra plates and napkins so the cashier wouldn't know I don't have any friends. FML
Today, I ordered a graduation cake from a woman at the grocery store. She asked me what I wanted the cake to say and I said "Congratulations Annie". Then she asked me who was ordering and I said "Annie". I had to order my own cake. The woman was silent. 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, I picked up my online grocery order. The clerk asked about the party, because he assumed I was having one because of all the ice cream I'd ordered. I'm bulimic and everything was for me. FML
Today, all that I wanted for my birthday was for someone else to pick out a cake flavor, and to spend the day alone. I've been asked ten times what kind of cake I want, and my husband took a off work. 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 both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No

That "extra" icing would make the cake taste even more yummy.

The way you wrote extra in quotation marks makes it look seriously suspicious.

Haha, Maybe so. It's just that sometimes things aren't as good unless it has those extras and I wanted to emphasize that word! Example: Baked potato (kinda boring!) Now add the extra-- cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, bacon, chives, the kitchen sink and you're left with "fun in your mouth"! On a side note, I would like to personally wish the OP A "Very Merry Unbirthday"! And say that it's my unbirthday too!

Unless op is one of us that hates icing and removes it, just means more waste :P

Actually, I like the idea of writing "Baked Potato" on the cake. It would make me feel oddly better about eating it.

I used to be a cashier and I can vouch that we give absolutely no craps what people buy unless it's some super bizarre combo, and even then who cares what we think about it

My friends and I used to go to grocery stores and try to come up with the most bizarre trios of items to get the biggest reaction out of people. It was fun, until we turned 17.

If you ended up with ice cream cake I don't see how this is an FML

There is nothing wrong with that

The cashier doesn't give a shit, trust me. And even if she did, what do you care? If you want to eat an ice-cream cake by yourself, eat a damn ice cream cake by yourself. As long as you don't do it in one sitting, that's a bit too much sugar and fat for your body to handle.

This sounds like a great idea that I will try some time this week, I haven't had ice cream cake in a while and this way I can pick the flavor.
