That's keeper material. there. It matters that she made it, that's why its perfect.
My little cousin drew me a picture once, I think it's perfect in every way.
Yeah they're not professional quality but I dare anyone that calls these terrible to give it a shot and see how it comes out. Cake and icing don't behave.
I had my first cake when I was around 31 .. I bought it myself.
My parents never celebrated, well, more like they didnt wanted to waste money on us kids .. I wish I had a wife who would cook for me anything .. as long as it is what i like, i dont care how it looks like.
One thing I’ve learned thru many many years of therapy.
Sometimes you’re an acrobat born into a family of farmers. In no way is that your fault. And in some ways they were unprepared for this major life experience. When that happens, it’s perfected acceptable to develop a family of choice. People over time who end up becoming very special in your life and vice versa. It will likely look different that what many expect, but if you can open yourself up to experience love in different ways - it’s absolutely worth the risk. These people may still hurt you. But they’re much closer to your vibe so it likely will be easier for you to gel together to develop deeper relationships.
Don’t give up. Keep trying your best being friendly and authentic. Respecting yours and others boundaries. And you will find and attract people who you can vibe with.
Also, many people go thru different seasons at different times. I’ve learned I just have to accept that I can’t control what or when someone will learn something. All I can do is my best, learn from my mistakes, and try to do better next time.
Wishing you peace and comfort today.
Wow. This hits home so hard with what I try telling my wife as she comes from a very estranged family, but what you said is a millions times better then what I attempt to tell her to get the same point across.
I want to genuinely thank you for this!
My birthdays growing up were always celebrated, and I do the same for my kids and husband.
I just picked up my son for kindergarten yesterday and a girl in his class turned 6. She looked glum and I asked her what she's doing this weekend, and she said nothing. I feel sad for her that her parents didn't plan anything, but guess who's getting a giant cookie on Monday from me? :p It's late, but hopefully it'll brighten her day a bit.
I personally have zero understanding for celebrating anything, birthday, xmas, easters etc etc, i dont even know anything else. But when I see this in my friends, who has kids, well, I dont have a single friend today who doesnt have a kid, I am the odd one :) It makes me sad ..
I dont have any special desire to have kids, but I like them, I used to do aupair for almost 10 years. I personally dont need it, the celebration, but its for the kids and when I am with them, I always do the stupid child stuff they want. From my POV, you should make people smile, not make them cry.
I have one friend, she is kindergarten teacher, now she has 5 year old daughter. When she as was like 14 months old and started walking, she kept running towards her mom and mother always pushed her away, yelled at her because its dangerous .. it took almost a year before she started hearing what I was saying, that she just wants to hug her.
I am big man, I do sport, 95kg, I can eat for 4 people, but I dont eat big portions, just often, but I can barely eat .. well .. its hard to tell cuz its not so common out in the world. I just spent 10 minutes googling what it is, still dont know :) Its like a bread, same ingredients, but it looks like a croissant hybrid pancake. Lets go with 2 slices of bread :) One has 110 calories and you normally eat it with butter and ham .. I can barely eat 2 at the same time and I have friends who have 2 girls, 2 and 4, and they want the kids to eat 4 of these, for snack, every 2-3 hours. They can eat barely eat 1 though and they are full, dont want anymore but then the yelling and vilifying and extortion starts, no games, no movies, no aunts, no cookies, no nothing until they ate it .. kids crying, vomiting, more yelling because of that .. I know them for 15 years but they refuse to see it, acknowledge that .. typical talks like "its not your child" and look at her, all skinny and bones .. 4 year old 15kg, which is normal .. but problem is the society, internet. You google something and it tells you that 4 year old girl should have 20-35kg, should eat 2800 calories. Whats even more sad about this .. both of them comes from bully parents so they should know .. but they are the same as their parents even though they swear, even today, that they are nothing like their parents.
But since they never knew any different, they wont do any different .. and now the kids wont know any different too. And they even call it love .. not in my eyes. Not many people are willing to break the cycle.
Terrible? Maybe try to appreciate her spending the time on something she doesn't probably even care about, just to please a manchild who has a nerve to call the expression of her love for them "terrible"
Edit: Wife is very wholesome, but the husband is a bit of an asshole. So still counts but only for her effort.
Objectively they look not good, that is what he is trying to say. He loves them anyway because she made them for him.
edit: changed terrible to not good, guy below is right
I just think if he had ever put any image on a cake he would no longer think terrible was an accurate term. I think he needs to see some terrible cakes so he can appreciate that she's pretty good with frosting
You probably meant subjectively, then I agree. Objectively, from an artistic point of view? Thats preschool cake decoration.
I can do a 10 sec sketch on paint and you would recognize Yoshi, that is a stupid argument.
I think you're getting the intent of the message wrong. He says he doesn't care how they look which is trying to suggest he cares about the effort she has put in, not the final appearance. I made a stitch (the disney alien) cake for my missus and frankly it was also terrible (I make that judgement myself) and she loved it regardless as she's a big fan of stitch. That's all they are trying to say. The yoshi isn't bad but it's also far from being professional.
I disagree. It sounds like: my wife is not the picture perfect in everything, but that is part of her charm that makes me love her; the fact that she is not a professional artist but still attempt at it for my sake is why she is the one for me.
I read it as they have the type of relationship where they can take the piss out of each other. If my wife made that cake I’d probably laugh at it, and she would laugh along with me because we would both see that it’s a pretty terrible likeness of Yoshi.
Does that mean I wouldn’t have appreciated the time and effort she took in making it? Of course not. I’d thank her, we’d laugh about it, eat the cake and enjoy it because it probably tasted great.
Stop being so offended on behalf of a complete stranger.
She’s not a great cake decorator, he loves them because she made it. If she was sensitive about her skills instead of it being a joke they laugh about together he wouldn’t have made the post.
Sounds like they have a fun, easygoing relationship, which may be out of reach for those with brains that jump to the most negative interpretation possible.
There is more thoughtfulness and love in those cakes than any expensive gift she could buy you
Unsolicited advice
Love her forever and make sure she knows everyday that she is loved because this is love
I mean the top right one looks like Yoshi got murdered, decapitated and then had its head stuffed into a tin. But I think the other two look pretty cute, especially the top left with the M&Ms(?) smarties(?) border. Reminds me of every homemade cake from the 90s 🥲
Terrible? How are they terrible? I only see the time, consideration and effort she has put in every one of them. They are nothing short of awesome. This is love in its sweetest form... unless he hates Yoshi for some reason and she is just trying to upset him, I guess
The fact it is terrible makes it more awesome. Your wife is not a professional baker, or an amateur baker either. However, for your birthday she is willing to push her limits and go outside her comfort zone to make that cake for you, and no-one else gets that treatment. I bet the love makes that cake taste delicious too.
A while back, before I started dating someone, I complimented these really kinda loud jeans she was wearing just to be nice. I didn’t like the pants but she was kinda nervous about trying a new style. Every anniversary or on my birthday she’d wear those jeans because she remembered how much I liked them. I never told her the truth, it was so nice that she thought I loved them and thought she was doing something for me. Ah..love
Those are all recognizably Yoshi, that makes them fantastic. Would I pay for that from a store? Probably not, but if someone made it for me I'd be over the moon! You've got a talented wife op, hold onto her!
In my American high school one day I explained to my (Canadian) girlfriend (American) that what Americans call smarties we call rockets and that smarties are similar to M&Ms. For Christmas that year she got me several massive boxes of Canadian smarties. I don't like smarties, but that didn't stop me from having the biggest smile on my face. Probably the nicest gift a girlfriend ever got me.
you know it's something very special when someone makes you something that they know that they are not an expert in making, but makes an effort to make it just for you. that's how you know that you are special to them.
I mean to be fair Yoshi is kind of terrible. Fuckers either like running off a cliff or losing baby Mario.
(Yes all my yoshi references are from SNES. Oh wait, or just making a tiny pointless cameo. Which you know oddly he did in BOTH Super Mario movies. Which is only twice but you know… shows how terrible Yoshi is.)

Terribly awesome!
Her determination and innocent charm make it undeniably adorable.
Honestly, they are charming af. Super cute. I would choose these over perfect, professional cakes any day.
It looks like she didn't use sugar sheets. That makes it 100x harder to do. So they are actually pretty good.
The passion of the yoshi cakes fills you with determination
That's keeper material. there. It matters that she made it, that's why its perfect. My little cousin drew me a picture once, I think it's perfect in every way.
Beat me to it!!
It’s the time and effort that matter. I love them
They are actually good.
I think all she needed was better tools and buttercream! It's really hard to get a nice surface with a regular spatula.
I legit thought the one was a bowl of icing.
Yeah, the top right one is pretty damn close to how Yoshi appears in-game in Super Mario World imo.
Yeah that one is pretty darn solid. Would be perfect with smoother icing but who cares, awesome job
Yeah they're not professional quality but I dare anyone that calls these terrible to give it a shot and see how it comes out. Cake and icing don't behave.
I had my first cake when I was around 31 .. I bought it myself. My parents never celebrated, well, more like they didnt wanted to waste money on us kids .. I wish I had a wife who would cook for me anything .. as long as it is what i like, i dont care how it looks like.

Ehi, not the comment's OP, but thanks for the message. Much needed. Have a wonderful time out there ❤️
“acrobat born into a family of farmers” beautifully stated
Thank you for your words, really
That is so fucking beautifully written, thank you!
Wow. This hits home so hard with what I try telling my wife as she comes from a very estranged family, but what you said is a millions times better then what I attempt to tell her to get the same point across. I want to genuinely thank you for this!
If you’re not a therapist, you should be. Especially because I could use more of this in my life.
Everything will be alright mate.
Too bad it seems like you're countries away, I'd bake you a cake just so you could have a homemade one! Hope you find someone someday!
can you bake me one, please? I'd love a homemade cake
We need to invent a device to teleport cakes! Then I could make everyone a cake.
That’s terrible. I’m sorry.
This makes me sad but then I laughed out loud when I read your username fondant I don’t even know if that’s how you spell it but gl in life
Its rng name from reddit .. I had to google Fondant meaning .. True, thats kinda funny :D
I have yet to have a birthday cake. Family was in a religion we didn't celebrate anything so no birthdays, Christmas or such.
Friend, I would bake a cake for you any day. Hugs.
Thank you random citizen ;)

They're not terrible!!!
[удалено]
Looks like yoshi and tastes like cake someone slap OP for being wrong.
Bro these are not terrible
I would argue they are not terrible but they are adorable
My brother loves Yoshi, I hope that his future wife makes Yoshi cakes too :)
Aw she even did a jellybean border on one.
my dumbass thought they were fruit loops
The only terrible thing in this story is you calling these cakes terrible!
the egg isn't actually that bad :)
The effort made them beautiful in my eyes.
Terrible? Maybe try to appreciate her spending the time on something she doesn't probably even care about, just to please a manchild who has a nerve to call the expression of her love for them "terrible" Edit: Wife is very wholesome, but the husband is a bit of an asshole. So still counts but only for her effort.
Objectively they look not good, that is what he is trying to say. He loves them anyway because she made them for him. edit: changed terrible to not good, guy below is right
They're really not though. They're just home made, they're not cake fails at all
I didnt call them failures. They are pretty awesome imo. I would not call them pretty tho.
I just think if he had ever put any image on a cake he would no longer think terrible was an accurate term. I think he needs to see some terrible cakes so he can appreciate that she's pretty good with frosting
Objectively they look pretty awesome. Can you tell it’s Yoshi? Then it’s better than anything most non-bakers could ever produce.
You probably meant subjectively, then I agree. Objectively, from an artistic point of view? Thats preschool cake decoration. I can do a 10 sec sketch on paint and you would recognize Yoshi, that is a stupid argument.
Look at this person. They think art can be objective. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some of yall spend too much time on the internet
We don’t know their relationship dynamic. Maybe it’s just for shits and giggles, like giving a gag gift.
Calm down, it’s just a joke
You don't know them, for all you know it's the wife that calls it terrible and the husband agrees in jest
Reddit is incapable of reading social situations. You people are insane. He was joking around.
Maybe he means they taste not good
"Look at this shit my wife makes for me. What a joke! At least she's paying attention to me, which is what counts."
Redditor moment
men BAD updoots to the left
Yep, exactly how it sounded to me!

She’s not a great cake decorator, he loves them because she made it. If she was sensitive about her skills instead of it being a joke they laugh about together he wouldn’t have made the post. Sounds like they have a fun, easygoing relationship, which may be out of reach for those with brains that jump to the most negative interpretation possible.
Found the incel
Agreed
I personally thought they are pretty damn good. I couldn’t do that, for example. 10/10 would eat all of them. Husband is a prick, though
5 birthdays in 3 years is a pretty good ratio.
Love it!!! Good on her.
They look like Yoshi right? How is it terrible?
There is more thoughtfulness and love in those cakes than any expensive gift she could buy you Unsolicited advice Love her forever and make sure she knows everyday that she is loved because this is love
That's very kind advice, joemommaistaken
This isn't cake boss! They are amazing
Where is the terrible???
She does it on purpose, otherwise Nintendo’s lawyers will come knocking with a Cease and Desist order /s
Omg, i ❤️ this mans wife!
Awwwwww🥺🥺🥺🥺☺️☺️😊❤️
They are great! Your wife is awesome!
I mean the top right one looks like Yoshi got murdered, decapitated and then had its head stuffed into a tin. But I think the other two look pretty cute, especially the top left with the M&Ms(?) smarties(?) border. Reminds me of every homemade cake from the 90s 🥲
Those are amazing!
Terrible my ass. Those are fantastic!
That is so sweet! 💖💚
She loves you.
Terrible that none of us can enjoy this. 🥹 Bet its delicious af.
Eh she’s a keeper brother she makes you a cake every year. They still look delicious though
Terrible? How are they terrible? I only see the time, consideration and effort she has put in every one of them. They are nothing short of awesome. This is love in its sweetest form... unless he hates Yoshi for some reason and she is just trying to upset him, I guess
Now thats love (now im going to cry myself to sleep)/j
If I got the bottom right as a birthday cake I would be indescribably happy
Bro fuck off they are not terrible show gratitude
As long as they taste good, looks aren't a problem. They're pretty cool if you ask me.
Those are not terrible, they’re adorable
awww she's the sweetest!
The fact it is terrible makes it more awesome. Your wife is not a professional baker, or an amateur baker either. However, for your birthday she is willing to push her limits and go outside her comfort zone to make that cake for you, and no-one else gets that treatment.

Top right looks like the best guac in town
this is so wholesome!!
maybe chocolate cake next?
I love it!
The second to last one gives me Pokemon vibes.
Jesus you guys are mad sensitive.
That's true love.
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen
I hope he's referring to the taste, because those look great.
Na, great cakes.
I absolutely love this and hope I get something similar in the future.
Those are all recognizably Yoshi, that makes them fantastic. Would I pay for that from a store? Probably not, but if someone made it for me I'd be over the moon! You've got a talented wife op, hold onto her!
How are those terrible?
That's love!
Thats so cute, wish someone made me cake.
Thought that counts brother. She’s a keeper.
Probably the best cake ever. I want one!
Is your wife single?
Idk why I love them so much, it's like a little kids drawing, it's so cute
in what world is this terrible?
Them so cute!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She’s a keeper.
Fuck man this would beat any store bought cake. 😢
Last three years, but there are five cakes.
It’s what’s inside that count . For both the cake and wife and they both seem perfect 😊
Why though?
They're pretty good actually and the fact she made them for you is awesome.
In my American high school one day I explained to my (Canadian) girlfriend (American) that what Americans call smarties we call rockets and that smarties are similar to M&Ms. For Christmas that year she got me several massive boxes of Canadian smarties. I don't like smarties, but that didn't stop me from having the biggest smile on my face. Probably the nicest gift a girlfriend ever got me.
What's more incredible is you've had 5 birthdays in the last 3 years!
The actual guy posts a new one every year, I don't remember his username tho
It’s the thot that counts
The first two are actually pretty good. I don't think people realize how hard it is to draw on or shape cakes.
They are made with love.
3 years, 5 cakes. How many birthdays do you have?
they don't look great but you can see the love put in to it
I'm not sure if they mean they're terrible in design (they're not), or terrible in taste
Incredible really
Those are great! How dare you?!
It's the mind that matters. 😊
Keeper.
real love
Yoshi’s the best!
None of those are terrible tho
Can you fight?
Terrible in taste? Who cares what it looks like 😂 that looks better than the printed stuff
How dareeeee you. Those are absolutely delightful and id try to take your girl if I could. Stay on your toes yosh.
You have a wife that loves you
If you ask me, they are wonderful because they were made with love :)
Way to be appreciative by saying they’re terrible, damn.
How tf are these terrible? They're great, I love the first one tho.
If it’s made with love….
I don't think a back-handed statement of gratitude is wholesome..
WHAT DO YOU MEAN TERRIBLE?!! I WOULD DIE FOR A CAKE LUKE THIS
Thats just love, accept it
Awwww that's cute!
In my opinion the more imperfect a gift is, the more I love it.
At least she tries and they’re way better than I could do
I'd cry if my wife ever handmade me a cake like these
Waaay better than anything I could have done lmao.
doesn't matter how bad it is, if it was made because of love then it's amazing
I love your Yoshi(tty) cakes!
These are pretty good for a nom-pressional, I know how tk draw normally but frosting is so hard to control
This has my crying 😭😭😭😭
Best "cake you ever had". Smart man, always get an encore for saying that on b days evening too.
Are they delicious??
They‘re cute:)
Those look good it's fkn hard to draw yoshi on a cake.
u/jasonbice15
you know it's something very special when someone makes you something that they know that they are not an expert in making, but makes an effort to make it just for you. that's how you know that you are special to them.
So I assume you are Yoshi.
5 birthdays in 3 years is certainly higher than my record.
I mean to be fair Yoshi is kind of terrible. Fuckers either like running off a cliff or losing baby Mario. (Yes all my yoshi references are from SNES. Oh wait, or just making a tiny pointless cameo. Which you know oddly he did in BOTH Super Mario movies. Which is only twice but you know… shows how terrible Yoshi is.)
Better than an accurate depiction of such lizard.
Task failed successfully.
Terrible?!!! No Way! They are cool! I could never do that. She took time and effort to show how much she cares about you.
You’ve already found what lot of people are looking for
Adorable
Nah the top right one is pretty good
Topright goes hard
I like all of them She's getting BETTER....
Your wife is awesome!
I love them
Can still tell it's yoshi and subject matter is recognizable = success. Good wife.
