My birthday is in a couple of days. I've been looking for a baker in my city whose quite skilled at cake calligraphy because I want a specific, aesthetic bento cake. I don't really like cake but I'm making a life scrap book hence the priority on aesthetics.

After searching for weeks and not finding any baker whose work I liked, I decided to make a post about what i wanted, incase one of my followers knows someone good. And thankfully I got a good recommendation.

On the phone with my bf hours later, I mentioned how happy I was that I'd finally found a baker for the cake I want. He replied with “oh. so I did a thing”, and proceeded to tell me how he saw my post and decided to surprise me.

The thing is I wish he didn't, because I looked through the IG page of the baker he chose and none of the cakes on display is pretty. And their writing looks like the work of a toddler.

Ngl, it upset me and i didn't do a good job of concealing my feelings. It's not like I yelled, I just said “I wish you'd talked to me before you placed the order”. Plus he ordered a 6inch cake, red velvet and vanilla flavors, while I what I want is a 4inch chocolate cake.

One of the reasons I'm upset (in addition to the fact that the cake is going to be ugly (or at least not at all what I want)) is because going ahead to book with the baker I want means there'll be wastage. We both don't like cake, and I'll be spending the day alone at home so who's going to eat the cake he ordered?

It's been a couple of hours and I feel bad, like maybe I could've just pretended? It's really not a big deal and I think I made him unhappy so idk. Did I overreact?

How did he know she wasn't going to eat it? He probably thought quite reasonably that a person who buys a cake wants to eat a cake
