Today, I explained to my dad that I had spent over three hours baking, frosting, and decorating a cake from scratch and how proud I was of it. Without even looking up at me, he replied, "You really need a boyfriend." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend said he felt like eating icing. So I baked him cupcakes, put icing on them and decorated them. When I handed them to him, he picked off the decoration, licked the icing and handed the cupcake back to me, saying, "I told you that's all I wanted." FML
Today, on my one day off from working in a bakery, my dad asked me to bake him a cake. I refused as I’m exhausted and didn’t want to bake. He then informed me it’s “not my choice” if I bake cakes or not, and if I want to keep living rent free in his house, I’ll “bake the fucking cake.” FML
Today, I was baking cookies. I stared at them for 15 minutes and finally asked my dad, "Why are these taking so long?" He looked up at the oven and replied, "It might help if you turn the oven on." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I was sad I'd forgotten to bake him the cookies that I was planning to send to him for Christmas. His response was "Good, you suck at cooking anyway." 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 surprised my boyfriend by baking him some cookies for the first time. He took a bite and said, "Wow, these taste exactly like the ones my mom used to make!" I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'd used a store-bought mix, because I can’t bake to save my life. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad came in to ask if I wanted the rest of his cake. I'd made it for my cousin's wedding, and spent 2 days preparing it. The wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mother has invented a new kind of cake and named it after me: not because it's delicious, but because of the amount of fat in it. FML
Today, as I watched my boyfriend bake cookies, I said he was "domesticated." He looked at me like I'd just pissed on his mother's grave and has been cold and distant all evening. What the fuck? It's a compliment, you dick. FML
Today, I finally got to surprise my boyfriend with a birthday cake. I spent four days planning the perfect one. First thing he says? "Erm, you know I'm 32, right?" I got his age wrong. FML

Cooking skills like that? You're going to get a man for sure. What the hell want to go out?

You could do the same even if you had a boyfriend. A hobby/skill doesn't mean you're lonely or pathetic. He's crazy.

Better yet, OP could find a boyfriend who loves spending time making cake as much as she does!

Lol sounds like my dad. So what if I talk to myself for a couple hours everyday? They just don't get it...

Nothing wrong with being single or baking a delicious cake.

That's an insult to all bakers -_-baking is an art. And not something just anybody can do.

Baking is an art and is something everyone can do, just not something that every person can be great at or create masterpieces with. I love to bake cakes and things, but they are rarely good looking like one you would buy would be.

If you have that kind of passion, dedication, and zeal for something, a relationship will follow when you're ready and someone comes along that can appreciate it. Just because your dad can't, doesn't mean you should feel any less accomplished by what you've done. Good job, OP!

Who knows, you could be a good baker in the future and prove your dad wrong

I never really did understand why people are pressured into having boyfriends/girlfriends, it means less time for one to truly develop their own hobby or passion. Don't take it too personally, from someone who can't cook all too well I admire what you've accomplished.
