One aunt got criticized by her sister after feeding her six-year-old niece's cake to her dog because it wasn't edible.
Taking to the subreddit r/AmItheAsshole on Reddit, the aunt who goes by the humorous username u/EvilCakeWitch1 shared that her niece wanted to make her dad a birthday cake. "I said that was a brilliant idea and gave her my tablet to look up a recipe," the woman wrote.
The aunt wanted to help the kid, but she refused and said "No. I'm making daddy's cake all by myself." She had no choice but to step back and just supervise for safety.
Needless to say, the cake didn't taste well. The woman thought that it was not a good idea to present it, so she baked a new cake with the same recipe and pan. Of course, she still let her niece decorate it by herself.
Explaining her situation on Reddit, the guilty aunt wrote: "Needless to say, the cake didn't turn out good. Ingredients weren't mixed properly. Proportions were wrong. I baked a new cake with the same recipe and pan. When she came over the next day, I presented the new cake as the one she had made, and she decorated it, again, she wanted to by herself. But sloppy frosting tastes just as good as neat, and is cuter anyway," she wrote.
"She mentioned how it's incredible her daughter's first attempt at baking turned out perfect. I laughed and told her the truth, knowing that my sister would keep the secret from my niece or anyone who could tell her, because she's the mum. I pd she would think the story was charming and something to tell niece when she's an adult and star baker as a funny childhood anecdote."
Her sister was livid and asked to know what she'd done with the original cake. After she knew that OP fed it to the dog, she cussed her out and hung up on her.
The confused aunt then asked Reddit users to try and p out whether she was wrong for doing that. She wrote: "I can't ask anyone in my social circle which of us is wrong, because I don't want it getting back to my niece that she didn't actually make the special cake. Am I missing something? I wanted my niece to be confident and encourage her sense of independence. Did I cross a line here?"
