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?

I try to be charitable when I hear a woman say stupid shit because I know we don't have the same interests and sensibilities but this is so fricking stupid.
How are you making a life scrapbook and not putting in it things that you like! If you don't like cake buy something that is both pretty and suitable to your tastes. How does aesthetics take precedence over authenticity in a scrapbook about your life, you vacuous piece of human garbage.

Honestly, I felt a little
flare up. I'm either getting trolled, or this is the dumbest woman moment I've ever seen.

Same. If you don't like cake; Why put it in the scrapbook?
Or, isn't the buying two cakes the kind of story you want in a life scrapbook? So, years from now, you have a funny story to look back on?
