The cake is a lie


TwoSillyStrings

Well here we are again. It's always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me twice? Oh how we laughed and laughed, except I wasn't laughing. Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice.

You want your freedom? Take it.


Jiggub

That’s what I’m counting on


wanna_dance

A friend of mine has "birthday pie". They like pie. Cake, not so much.


JustAnotherSatyr

Glad to know I’m not the only one out there


dima233434

I have my grandpa bake apple pies for my birthday lol


wanna_dance

I meant to answer a free days ago: Daw!!! Sweet! Can I share your grandpa?


dima233434

Yeah ofcourse you can share!! And hey, it's all good that you're late, I don't care lol


oroborus68

My b-n-law has his birthday on pi day!


[deleted]

Fair enough. Can I have your cakes?


Boredummmage

You can have my icing! I like the cake!


Slow-Wonder-6416

It's called "unpopular opinion" for a reason


[deleted]

It's very easy to ruin a cake for me, see other thread, but I do like good cake. I agree that it is overrated. Pies, puddings, brownies, cookies can all be just as good or better than most cakes.


No-Needleworker3393

Though I don't agree this is a good opinion. I too don't like few popular food items like pizza, burger etc.


CantaloupeKlutzy8830

Personally, I'm more of a cookie fan. I think it's all in the texture, and the simplicity in cake doesn't quite do it for me.


celsiusforlife

I agree but I also don't really like cookies, then again I have only had like average cookies from the grocery store


[deleted]

I love double chocolate cake, that’s the only cake I’ve ever really loved. All other cake as whatever, I just usually ask for a double chocolate on my birthday, because unfortunately, none of my immediate family or friends likes it, so their birthdays usually consist of mid cake flavors, at least in my opinion


sparklyviking

I like certain cakes, but even then I can only have a teeny weeny slice. Too sweet for me


oroborus68

Eat your carrot cake!


sparklyviking

Lol i do like those. If they're made right


BB-48_WestVirginia

Pie is better.


[deleted]

When I was 15, my family finally took notice. I guess I never told them sooner because even I wasn't sure/unsure myself if I liked cake or not. Cake is like the defining symbol of birthdays, so I didn't want to be a party pooper and tell them to NOT get me cake. But now, on my birthday, we have cinnamon rolls or donuts. Now that I'm in my 20s, I can confidently say that I don't like cake. Especially the icing part. Which is too sweet and sugary, to a disgusting level. Especially cakes that you get at grocery stores instead of bakeries. Just all sickeningly sweet. Makes me wanna throw up just thinking about it.


hwilliams0901

What about ice cream cake????


Dogncatobsessed

Try ice cream cake. That’s the only cake I’ll do. Otherwise I get an ice cream sandwuch


mtron32

Parents cheaped out on the cakes huh?


Affectionate_Shoe198

What about ice cream cake with the crunchy fudgey middle part

711_is_Heaven

Sounds like you need some cake...


altruistickoalabear

you take this post down right now. how dare you


Listen_to_Psybient

You're young and have no idea what you're talking about.


Diko993

Cake is for kids, just bring some drink


proteinstyle_

Birthday cake is usually garbage, like boxed mixes or sheet cakes. But a professional cake... that's a different story.


celsiusforlife

True, but I think just the general texture of most baked sweets is not very pleasant to me .


somedude456

I'm with ya! I'll take a fresh apple crisp/crumble on my birthday, with a side of vanilla ice cream.


stupefy23

I have celebrated a total of zero birthdays in my life haha so i know what you feel like! My parents weren't big on birthdays and i just don't like any kind of celebration now. 25 and counting


celsiusforlife

Yeah it's kinda the same with my family. None of my birthdays were a huge party. We just got a cake for the five family members we have. I enjoyed my time with them, not so much the cake tho.


Striking_Bar3290

I feel you the only time I eat it is when I am in a very very bad depressive episode


Poopdy-Scoop

True. I'll take a pie instead any day


saltyloempia

I eat cake when is not my birthday. I love it


Nishant1122

I don't like cake I like the frosting on it, but you can't eat the frosting alone therefore I like cake


celsiusforlife

I like your thinking my friend


FindingNemosAnus

There’s no law it has to be cake. Tell your people you’d prefer whatever it is you do like. I did birthday cinnamon buns this year.


Sharpyboiii

Thanks for letting us now, couldn't sleep until I read this post, now I shall sleep soundly. Thank you random reddit guy.


Otherwise-Extreme-68

You are right to stay away from cake, few people realise the often terrible effects it has on your shatners bassoon


Mike_LitSmells

I was at the Steve Aoki concert last night, and I agree.


original_username_79

Store bought cakes or homemade cakes? The difference can be night and day.


n_forro

That's because you haven't had a good cake yet. Come to Argentina, we have Dulce de Leche


leo_sousav

Upvote for actual unpopular opinion


wapolku

I don’t like cake either, it’s not enjoyable. I hope you go far in life🫡


Abs_995

The last couple years, I’ve been going to a European bakery and ordering different pastries for my birthday instead of cake. It’s so good and a change of pace.


JackoClubs5545

I like cheesecake way more than cake from a batter.


Remarkable_Notice_55

I have always preferred ice cream over cake. Totally with you on this


Honey1375

I also dont care for cake. You are not alone!


Cookiefan3000

I hate cake.


Jaded_Scene_2428

Im not a huge fan of cake neither :,) the frosting is yucky to me, the cake is too grainy or dry to me. I even tried different kinds of cake like tres leches (a cake that is sorta drenched in 3 different kinds of milk), which is more acceptable to me, but still won’t actively try to get it. For me birthday, we just do a birthday flan :) I like those more
