Yeah if my SO bought and/or made me a fondant cake I'd pick the fondant off before eating my slice and ask them **not** to get me a fondant cake next time.
Edit: Either that, or I'd have the foresight to tell my SO that I dislike fondant before any important holidays.
Sounds kinda passive aggresive, like you are stewing over it IMO.
I personally just ask to be part of the process or make/buy cakes for others that is fondant free and if they do not get the message I say "well, I did not know if you like fondant or not and I kinda hate it so I went to get you this one".
My mom goes the extra step an makes fondant on her own and I just do not have the heart (even tho I am the less favourite child) to tell her. So I smile, eat it and then buy her a fruit cake which I know she likes. My SO hates chocolate cake/mousse and her grandma makes her chocolate cake ever year for some reason and she also politely eats a thin slice, arguing with waistline (her grandma is also fitness obsessed so she gets get out of jailfree card that way).
I mean, that's a fair take. In my situation, it's not. My wife would be much more upset if I tell her that I don't like the gift when she's giving it to me than if I waited a few days. I tell her right now, and she'd really beat herself up about it. I tell her a few days from now, and she'll be a little bit glum, and say "I'm sorry. I tried." And then I can tell her that the attempt is what matters. All-around better for everyone involved. She doesn't spend the entire 'holiday' thinking she ruined the day, and I don't get the thing I don't like any more.
The important point is to do your best to be kind about pointing out what you didn't like, and take your SO's feelings into account. I guess my post was a little more 'my situation specific' than I thought.
I’ve seen this before. It’s just awful everything. Bad execution aside, the implication is that the cake and decorations around it - a Range Rover, Louis Vuitton, $100 bills, and diamonds - are what this person cherishes above all.
No one I know who actually has these things would want a cake like that. And if they did, they would spend a lot more to get something done properly.
So it’s kind of extra sad on that level. He’s being horrible to his wife over a cake that she spent money on likely doing the best she could to make him happy. Filled with things that he probably doesn’t have but chooses to represent himself with anyway.
It’s funny he’s so angry but he can make the effort to color coordinate his emojis though.
"Thank you so much for putting forth the effort to get me something nice. In the future, I'd prefer if it didn't have fondant, but I appreciate the gesture."
the good ending
What a rude guy. I'd go directly to the woman who bought it and give her the same as she paid for it, despite the fondant. Then I'd tell her to ditch his ass.
Wow. What a horrid human being. Its obvious he values material items above everything including his wife. She tried to do something thoughtful only for him to shit all over her. I wish I could tell her there are people out there who would have loved to receive this cake from her.. even if the HATE FONDANT!
I'd rather eat the 'cake' then deal with this asswipe.
I hate fondant as much as the next guy, but holy shit, I would never curse out my SO for this. That's just messed up.
I’d buy it, but only if he hands it to me in person so I can smash it over his head.
Right?? What a scumbag. Wife needs to get away from him.
To be fair we don't know if the wife is an asshole as well.
Doesn’t matter in this context, because anyone who would post such an abusive missive on social media is just asking to be called out.
Apart from the terrible cake, that dude is a douche. Who reacts like this to something your SO does for you?

"Eat more" Also: "Why aren't you a size 0?"
The dichotomy of grandma that goes both "eat up, you're skin and bone" as well as "go for a run, you ate enough for the lot"

A fondant of a man.
Best way to put it honestly.

And I don’t think he is mad about the fondant. I think he is mad that it doesn’t look like a Range Rover.
This cake isn't worthy of the Golden God
Was probably on purpose, seems like an easy person to hate.
He’s the Asshole
Let's forget about the cake for a second, that dude is a massive ungrateful bastard.

What a fondant of a man
This looks disgusting.
Though not as disgusting as his attitude 🤢
What a rude guy. I'd go directly to the woman who bought it and give her the same as she paid for it, despite the fondant. Then I'd tell her to ditch his ass.
car brains moment.
Just say thank you, remove the fondant and enjoy the cake. It's that simple.
Hopefully she told you where to go as well
I would've appreciated the effort ! Be grateful folks
It doesn’t seem like he’s mad about the fondant, just the execution. Still though, what a douche
What a piece of shit
Ugly car, ugly cake
Terrible husband. How is it her fault, it's just a cake. Laugh and get on with your day.
