To want --expect-- a slice of cake

[fishybits]

if I provided a key ingredient as a favour?

I know I should hand over the contents of my kitchen cupboards without expectation as a good neighbour but it's a delicious cake and I am very greedy! perhaps she's doing me a favour

Only if it's Lemon Drizzle or Coffee and Walnut

Otherwise yabu.

You are going to need to give us more info than that to decide whether YABU or not

YANBU but the cake might be for something special e.g. a birthday cake.

It's an amazing apple sponge. I gave her the apples without which it wouldn't exist. I smelt it cooking yesterday

Nope not for anything special. She just said she felt like making one.

YANBU.

I once made a cake for my cousins birthday (shes much younger) and ofcourse was invited to the party. Never even got a slice of the fucking cake. That I made!!

It should be law that if you make or provide any ingredients for a cake, you automatically get at least one slice. It's only right.

Have you got an apple tree? Or does she randomly ask for key ingredients to dishes - I'm making a roast, got any beef going spare?

I feel slightly better now although still hungry.

Your neighbour is rude.

She's being a bitch. Never speak to her again, or better, wage a war of hatred.

No apple tree or spare rib roast.

I'd said how good the cake was to another neighbour and the cake neighbour over heard and said she felt like making one but had no apples so I offered.

Well if you offered that's slightly different than her asking, but she should still give you a slice I think. Don't offer next time!

Go round and ask for a slice. If she's cheeky so can you be.

I could be cheeky and ask for a slice but it would embarrass her me if it's all gone. There's a teenage boy in the house so empty cake plate syndrome is pretty likely.

Next time she makes a cake and needs an ingredient that you have then offer it with the condition that you get a slice of cake.

I've got some banana cake I made yesterday, if you like?

YANBU - she should give you cake.

Steal the milk from her doorstep and tell her about the delicious custard you made (she won't be able to prove it was you)

Unless she's got CCTV

I made my friend's wedding cake for free and never got a slice

Neither did anyone else though, she took it home and froze it, the stingy cah.

I expect it didn't occur to her, my neighbours and grow stuff and give each other stuff, it never occurred to me to expect a share of whatever they cooked with it.
Why not just make another cake yourself? If you bought the apples then why did you give them away? I'd have given her the recipe and she could buy some apples when she went to the supermarket and you could make the cake and give her a slice. Seems odd to buy apples then give them away and then moan about it.

^^

There's always one isn't there.

It's a lighthearted thread taking the piss out of myself for being greedy. Get a sense of humour.

Yeah OP, you sound so... entitled.

You missed out grabby.

Anyway, have seen neighbour and apparently the cake was very good, moist even due to the type of apples I gave her. I'm beginning to think she's taking the piss out of me

No thank you for the apples and yep cake inhaled by growing like a weed son, can't say I blame him. It smelt great.
