We’ve all heard stories about family drama, but this one takes the cake – literally! A teen baker, known for their delicious creations, was asked by their aunt to make a unicorn-themed chocolate cake for their cousin’s birthday party. After agreeing on a price of $35-40 to cover labor and ingredients, the teen put their heart and soul into the cake, only to be offered a measly $5 upon delivery. What happened next is a mix of standing up for oneself and potential overreaction.
