This woman really enjoys baking and regards herself as an amateur baker. But what good is whipping up some cake or cupcakes if there is no one there to eat them?
So, she normally uses her skills to make her loved ones’ cakes on their birthdays. And recently, her ex was celebrating his special day.
For context, she and her ex have children together, and her ex does not really enjoy sweets much. But her kids love helping bake a cake for their father every year, so she keeps the tradition going for their sake.
This birthday, though, her ex’s new girlfriend decided to plan a party for him. Plus, her ex’s girlfriend also told her that a cake was already ordered for the event– so she did not need to bake one.
And after hearing that, she ended up telling her ex’s girlfriend that would be totally fine. But, her daughter did not take the news so well.
In fact, her daughter kept asking and asking when they would be baking her father’s cake. Then, once she told her daughter that they would not be baking one, her daughter got super upset for a false reason.
“She assumed I did not like my ex, and that’s why I wouldn’t make him a cake,” she revealed.
So, since the act of baking her ex a cake was always more so to make the kids happy than her ex, she decided to just bake him a small treat. After all, her ex barely liked cake anyway, and she did not want her kids to think she hated their father.
Well, after she told her ex’s girlfriend about the new plan, it sparked some drama. Apparently, her ex’s girlfriend told her not to bake it at all and said that if she did, she was not allowed to bring it to the party.

She refused to abide by that, though, because her kids were supposed to attend the birthday party to give their father his gifts. So, obviously, they would want to see their special cake there– and she told her ex’s girlfriend that.
She even offered to bring the kids to the party early and give her ex the cake then. That way, no other guests would see it, and her ex could just put it away inside before anyone else arrived.
“But, my ex’s girlfriend did not agree with me and repeatedly told me not to bring it,” she recalled.
Despite that, she decided to just bring the cake with her anyway and let her kids give it to their father because she just wanted them to be happy.
Ever since the party, though, she has had to deal with a lot of gossips. More specifically, her ex’s girlfriend is now complaining to their mutual friends about how she tried to ruin the birthday party on purpose.
She also got accused of being “weird” for making her ex a cake after she was told not to. Honestly, though, she really did not care about making her ex a cake– it was simply for her kids.
Still, her ex’s girlfriend’s comments have pushed her to wonder if baking and bringing the cake to the party was a rude or jerky thing to do.
Why do you think her ex’s girlfriend was so adamant about not bringing a cake to the party? Do you think she made the right decision by bringing the cake anyway? How would you handle this situation?
