According to our submitter, Jason and his cake-baking wife are newlyweds. So…I guess the honeymoon’s over?

Newlyweds and already not doing crapola for her birthday?? He’d be wearing that cake for a hat.

Looks like Mrs. Jason’s expectations have been formulated upon way too many movies on The Lifetime Channel.

Quite Contrary
Writing that even and legible underneath all that seething anger scares me.

Of course, love conquers all… even on birthday cakes.

Nothing? Seriously? A card and flowers and a promise of dinner later isn’t that unrealistic an expectation.

The cake is a lie.
Right now she’s hating your guts Jason.

Jason,
I’d let the dog have the first bite of that cake, dude.

lmao @ the cake is a lie. Might she be better off with a Companion Cube?

Oh please! As if this is the first time she’s given Jason a treat after he’s really done nothing to satisfy her needs that she’s smiled and said “I love you” anyway.

This really is passive-aggressive.
Cake, but no ice cream?
Worst of all, no fruit?

I like to bake, so the “chocolate apology cake” was a regular way to smooth over flatmate arguments in college. I’m willing to teach you, Jason, though decorating it like this is a little beyond my abilities:

Nahhh
The text icing looks suspiciously like Head & Shoulders shampoo.

Nothing? How dare you, Jason’s wife. He must have racked up at least sixty kills on XBL.

She’s sweet and PA about it now, but 10 years from now she’s going to be boiling rabbits. “I will NOT be ignored, Michael – I mean Jason!”

Do we know if Jason’s wife could make one for my husband?
As many a supermarket cake display will show, it is hard to write legibly, space the letters and spell correctly with cake icing.
I would also like to compliment the photographer as the photo is in focus and a close up of the text. perfect for sharing on Facebook as a warning to all other spouses to lift their game.

Why is it always women that make a big deal out of this stuff? Guys (at least most guys I know) don’t really care. I mean, we might be slightly annoyed when someone forgets our birthday, but it’s such a minor thing that it’s forgotten within an hour.

She was going to make him eat humble pie…but resentful layer cake was more effective.

Team no one – Jason sounds thoughtless and his wife is PA. But I thank them both for my lunchtime entertainment!

Yeah, well… too bad she’s seething, but lucky Jason gets a cake!! I’d say what I want rather than bake an anger cake! And now that I am older than 11, my birthday is just another day in other people’s lives. If I want a fuss, I make it a good one, my way… I wouldn’t go all PA on a delicious cake!

My best friend once threw herself a second birthday party on my birthday, because the one we threw her wasn’t good enough and “Friends should always make a big deal out of your birthday,” in her opinion.
I assumed this was a rather transparent invitation to a surprise party for me; I was disappointed.
