Today, I made a very pretty sunflower cake that I woke up incredibly early to make. It took me hours and a lot of money. It was for my grandparents anniversary and my whole family was invited. We only got to see the remains because the waiter gave it to the wrong family, and they ate it. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML

That blows

Today, it's my birthday and I was very happy. When the moment came to blow the candles, all of the decoration on the cake flew off. It had taken an hour to make and set them on the cake. FML

Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad came in to ask if I wanted the rest of his cake. I'd made it for my cousin's wedding, and spent 2 days preparing it. The wedding is tomorrow. FML

Bake off

Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML

Bad doggo

Today, I spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML

Today, I spent two hours making a cake that I'd promised my class for weeks. I boarded the train to school, but soon dozed off. A few minutes later, I awoke with a start and noticed a chunk of the cake missing and a homeless man next to me with frosting around his mouth. FML

Anyone for cake?

Today, it was my boyfriend's mom's surprise birthday party. I was sent to pick up the very expensive cake and dozens of balloons. Not only was it windy and the balloons flew away, I tripped and dropped the cake. In the driveway in front of all their family and friends. FML

Today, it was my son's fifth birthday. I asked my grandmother, who is a baker, to make a birthday cake for the party. Two hours after the party started, she arrived drunk with a large ham with candles in it. FML

Today, it is both my birthday and Easter. My whole family came into town and my mom made a big dinner with all of my favorite foods. After church, I took a nap. When I woke up, all the food, including my cake, was gone. No one thought to wake me up. FML

The restaurant should have let you have your meal for free or at least discount it. It was their screw up. The other family wouldn't have known... but definitely FYL.

I think the other family would have known that wasn't their cake and told the waiter ? But instead they just ate it

How would the other family not say something about it though? A restaurant doesn't just hand you a very elegant cake without any type of explanation...the waiter must have said something like happy anniversary or congratulations. What a ****** up situation.

Maybe they were celebrating some kind of anniversary too and ordered a cake through the restaurant, but didn't know what it would look like. That's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with...lol... :)

Na that seems a bit far fetched, who orders a cake when they have no idea what it looks like

Yeah seriously. I think the family that ate the cake are the biggest douchebags. I mean they just eat a cake without asking why they got a free cake? Asswipes. I hope you shit on their faces.

if someone gave you a free cake would you ask them why? why questions someone supposed generosity?

I wouldn't question generosity, but I've never gone to a restaurant and been given a cake *or anything else I didn't order* without being given an explanation. In that case, what any DECENT person would do, is correct the waiter. Now, there's the chance that the waiter was not only stupid, but also bad at his job. So I suppose that its within the realms of possibility that he just dumped the sucker on the table and said, "here." Either way, I hope OP complained and was compensated in some way.

@45, it's not just someone's "supposed generosity" its the restaurant's "supposed generosity" which would never exist! If they handed me a huge cake, or ANY dish with no explanation I would ask to make sure I'm not being charged for it or something. A little slice or cupcake maybe, but a restaurant would never give you a free huge cake.

i know a lot of restaurants that have birthday cakes but you damn well have to pay for those mother *******. and $5 for the picture. and $10 for the buddha drink cup you get to keep. only thing free is when the three servers and a busboy come round to your table and embarrass you in front of the entire restaurant.

You really didn't deserve that...but in the future, with something personal like that, you should probably hand-deliver it, just to keep something like this from happening again.

I think it's really harsh for people to say you deserve it but tbh there's always a few moaners. I agree with all the poeple who said the restaurant should have compensated for you. I do feel really sorry for the waiter/waitress though, if I made that mistake I'd be so gutted...
