We all have our favorite birthday treats, but what happens when someone tries to change tradition? One man found himself in a sticky situation when his wife decided to switch things up for his birthday. He’s always had a specific cake – a chocolate-covered cherry cake – that he’s either made himself, baked with his wife, or had made by his parents. But this year, his wife had a different idea in mind.
