ok, if anyone who does this is reading, some advice: if someone asks what you want, just give a direct, solid answer…
No whatevers
No I don’t knows
no I don’t cares
Just… “I want this…” ok…
why is it like pulling teeth to get people to give a solid answer (thankfully I trained my hubby in a sense, if I want an answer I get annoying as hell)
Why is it so unacceptable not to want something, that you should lie about it?
Though, I suppose one consideration is that the cake isn’t (just) for the one having the birthday, but for the friends and family visiting. In that case a better question might be “what kind of cake are we going to get for our friends?”
The reason is the I don’t want or care thing isn’t said because the ate being honest, but polite. Anyone who says this is saying “oh I do want this cake but I don’t want to seem greedy or demanding”. So they say I don’t care… Even though this then causes the poop in a pan feeling…
Now if someone really doesn’t want a cake fine, be firm about it then. Oh for the record
My hubby always wants cake… But getting to say what kind is another story…

This is a really, really roundabout way to get to the word ‘chocolate!’

“Oh yeah? Well, go poop in a pan and put candles on THAT!”
My favorite new angry retort. It works in so many ways

That. Would be amazing (albeit a bit long!).

Pineapple upside down cake

We’ve got another friend who loves that one!

Why is it every husband I know (including mine) says that – “Oh, I don’t care; I don’t need anything.” Gah!!

Maybe because it’s the truth? Admittedly I can’t really fathom not caring about cake/pie, but contrariwise I don’t care for sports and lots of men do.

NO. It’s NOT the truth. He HAS a favorite cake (red velvet) but for some reason, he said he didn’t want that kind this year.

Hate it when people do that

I see what you’re saying, but in this case, I know that he enjoys cake!

My answer is always Ice Cream Cake. Friendlies used to have the most awesome one, but then they changed it up.
Still I don’t generally celebrate my birthday.
JW
At least it’s something homemade.

Yeh, we ended up going with a chocolate cake with Nutella icing. It was pretty rad!
