Today, I spent two hours making a cake that I'd promised my class for weeks. I boarded the train to school, but soon dozed off. A few minutes later, I awoke with a start and noticed a chunk of the cake missing and a homeless man next to me with frosting around his mouth. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 wanted to be nice to my boyfriend and buy him a cake. Not only did I drop it in the bus, when I got home I forgot that I'd put it on my bed, and sat on it. FML
Today, I bought a cake. I then immediately forgot what I was carrying, opened the door to my car, and tossed the bag into the back seat. FML
Today, I woke up early to bake cinnamon rolls for a party. I came home later to find the whole tray spilled onto the floor, most of the rolls eaten, and my dog sitting happily nearby. FML
Today, I volunteered to bring a homemade dessert to a family dinner. I made a cheesecake, decorated it beautifully, and carried it across town on the train. When I arrived, everyone complimented it. Then I realized I'd forgotten the removable bottom of the pan, so the cheesecake was still sitting inside a metal ring and couldn't be served. FML
Today, I returned home to my parents' house, drunk. Hungry, I grabbed a slice of bread and some butter and took two mouthfuls. Five hours later, my mother woke me up and dragged me to the kitchen. In the middle of the table was a buttered, half-eaten sponge. FML
Today, I saw my friend's car in front of school. I'd had a bad day and just wanted to talk with her. I got in and sat down, and felt something squish beneath me. Turns out it wasn't actually my friend's car, and I'd just sat on a random woman's cake. FML
Today, someone brought cake to class. Trying to get some attention from the guy I have a crush on, I asked if he wanted my piece of cake. He accepted it, and then offered it to another girl. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I was very happy. When the moment came to blow the candles, all of the decoration on the cake flew off. It had taken an hour to make and set them on the cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Today while riding on a bus I spotted a random cake. Expecting no one to notice I took a small piece. I got screamed at the person who was sleeping next to me. FML

YDI for falling asleep. You should've known better than to leave something like a cake unguarded in such a questionable public area. You can't trust people there.

I find it pretty gross that someone would walk in a crowded area with strangers everywhere, with an unwrapped food product. it'd be so easy for someone to do something unhygienic to it. (sneeze, cough... or worse) cake boxes are like two dollars and pretty much any bakery will sell (or give) you one if you ask nicely.

I was thinking the same thing. That's just nasty. I think that it's a good thing that the class won't be eating it.

well it doesn't say that he didn't have it in a box. I assume op left that part out because it's really an unnecessary detail.

i find it harder to believe if the cake was in a box. cake boxes need to be taped shut most of the time so it would've been hard to open without waking her up. if it were wrapped again same thing. if it was unwrapped the hobo couldn't reached over grabbed a handful of cake and shoved it in his mouth. I've seen people carrying unwrapped cakes on the NY subway, it happens all the time but that does not make it any less disgusting to me.
