To be annoyed with my friend!

It’s was friends birthday today and a group of us were going out for a meal. She asked if I could make her a cake as baking is one of my hobbies. Of course I agreed. We spent the last few days agreeing on the flavour and decoration.

When I turned up there was another cake that she has ordered from a chain bakery. She sort of just laughed it off and said we can have two cakes, despite the fact there were only 7 of us and one cake would be more than enough.

It cost me a lot to make the cake, the ingredients were probably about £20. I commute an hour and a half for work and made it when I got back in the evening even though it meant being up until just gone midnight.

I know there is no point dwelling on it but I’m just upset and annoyed so I guess this is more of a rant rather than anything else. I don’t want to moan to another friend in case it gets back to her.

AIBU?

YANBU there was no need for her to get a second cake.

Yep fucking rude. My mum does this though. My sister bakes amazing cakes as a hobby (as well as working crazy hours) so we all place our “order" with her and my mum with show up with a couple of supermarket cakes and sees it as being helpful.

Why did she do that? Did she think your cake would be rubbish so bought a stand in? Why ask you in the first place? Insulting to you IMO.

Did she say why she bought the 2nd cake? I'd be pissed off too, very rude of her

Why did she ask you, she must have known it would cost in terms of money and more importantly time? I think she was unreasonable to get the other cake, especially given there was only 7 of you.
