Cousin’s Unhappy Ending

Cake Commitment Catastrophe
Our cake-making hero was unknowingly volunteered by their cousin to bake a cake for a little boy’s birthday party. The cousin didn’t bother to ask or even inform them until the day of the party! Despite being painted as the villain, our protagonist contacted the boy’s mother and discovered that the cousin pocketed $250 for the cake. To make amends, a mini cake was offered for the birthday boy. The family was understanding after learning the truth, but the cousin was left fuming and disowned our hero. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this cake-tastrophe…
