The Great Cake Debate: Am I a Selfish Slice Hoarder?
So, here’s the tea ☕️: I spent hours crafting a delectable Strawberry Crumble Cake as a birthday gift for my bestie. But when my dad found out, he threw a tantrum worthy of a toddler denied a cookie! He demanded I save slices for the whole family, but I stood my ground. The plot thickens when I *gasp* ate the cake with my friend’s family! Now, my dad’s giving me the silent treatment and I’m wondering if I should’ve just baked a second cake. But wait, there’s more! I’m dealing with back issues and cultural expectations that add an extra layer to this dessert drama. So, internet jury, what’s the verdict? Am I a cake-hoarding criminal or just a gal trying to be a good friend? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation!
