I bought a birthday cake on a regular day and ate it secretly in my room over the course of three days. Ask Me Anything

r/

I went to my local shop and bought a birthday cake. It was one of those cakes with fondant on it, the typical kind of birthday cake with movie characters on it. I did not get caught eating it. I confessed that to my parents about a few months later.

    Did you feel any unpleasant feelings after eating so much cake?

    I get it… I’d do it too if I weren’t diabetic

    Where did you even hide it? Did you eat that as your 3 meals a day to manage to consume it so quickly?

    How did you hide it in your room? Wouldn’t it attract insects? What if the frosting or crumbs got onto your furniture?

    What flavor was it? Did you have any drink with the cake? How did your stomach fair after the three days?

    What motivated you to buy a birthday cake on a regular day and eat it in secret? Was it comfort eating, rebellion, a moment of self-celebration, or something else?

    Did you have anything written on the cake?

  14. ApplicationLost126 Avatar

    Did you get your name written on it? Will you do it again on your birthday?

    Do you think you’d do this again but this time share it with someone else too?

    Wait til you become an adult and realize you can just eat things whenever you want. Cake for breakfast? Done it many times. And you can buy things just to have them. Wild, I know.

    Did this cake come from a grocery store ? If so which store and was it decorated?

  21. LittlePieMaker Avatar

    I often dream that I eat cupcakes with icing on top. Like put the whole thing in my mouth at once. They don’t sell cupcakes like this where I live. I totally understand the fantasy.

    How old are you?

    Becoming an adult is awesome because you get to do things you want and nobody can tell you anything (I mean, if it’s legal). For me it’s buying toys 😁

    Why did you feel the need to hide and eat it in secret? Was there shame involved or did you just not want to share?

    Do you like pancakes

    Haha I’ve done this too, does it feel good to know you’re not alone in this secret cake eating?

    This is awesome. What other things (big or small) do you think you might do to remind yourself that you are in control of your own destiny?

    this isn’t that shocking, been there, done that.

    How big was the cake? Family of 4 size or 12? Just checking on your commitment

    I love this!! I don’t even like sweets that much, but I’ve always dreamt of biting into a cake. No, a cupcake is not the same. Like, just chomp a big bite out of a freshly made, round cake. (Edited mistype)

    Why did it take you so long to eat a cake?

  38. BridgeToBobzerienia Avatar

    I did this when I was pregnant with my third baby 🤣 I kept it under the bed. Did you eat it with a fork or a spoon? Did you leave the fork on spoon in the package for easy access throughout the day? 😂

    I regularly bake cakes and eat them within a day or 2. . . .chocolate , carrot, upside down cake.

    Scones and banana bread are also a favourite.

    This is what true freedom feels like. OP next time you have extra cash to spend and need a pick me up, get a fancy gift basket either with nuts, fruit or chocolate. Eat it to yourself, and i like to taste 1 of everything. Such a freeing feeling

    Why did you take you as long as 3 days?

    I’m sorry about the fondant. Did you actually eat that part?

    Why secretly? What’s so taboo about eating cake?

  47. Give_Me_Ramen Avatar

    I love birthday cake, I used to do this occasionally! Stopped because it’s terrible for my health 😂 but I’m addicted to birthday cake. It’s the thing I look forward to the most on my birthday tbh, not the gifts.

    Did you very quietly sing “Happy Birthday” knowing it was a silly thing to do, but nobody will ever know, unless you did an AMA about it and some guy asked you about it?

  50. Fool_of_a_Took12 Avatar

    What kind of cake? Like chocolate, vanilla, or something more extravagant?

  51. sweetandsourpork100 Avatar

    How much did it cost? Do you work? Why are your parents so involved in what you, an adult, do with your money?

  52. Cirrus-Stratus Avatar

    Do you think you will be responsible for an unexplained spike in the purchase of birthday cakes in grocery stores?

    Like I have an urge now to head to Publix and buy a premade sheet cake. 😁

    I cannot be the only one.

  53. Glib-4373 Avatar

    Thanks, now I’m hungry for cake 😩

  54. Remote_Independent50 Avatar

    I buy quarters of cakes, and eat them in a day. Somewhat frequently.
    Why do you think this is such a big deal? Do you have dieting issues?

  55. NervouslyQualified Avatar

    My husband and I buy a whole red velvet cake from wegmans and eat it with forks over the course of a week! We don’t cut pieces,we put anlone down the middle of the cake! Its magical!

    I did this a few times. I came from a family of people with ridiculous food aggression. I had to eat in secret. Their motto was “you snooze you lose. ”

    Why did it take two more days than necessary?

  64. CarobPrestigious1109 Avatar

    Seeing as you ate it secretly when was a good time to eat the cake? At night when everyone was asleep or when they were out? DId you ever eat it whilst they were in the next room to you and worried they would walk in?

    Table of Questions and Answers. Original answer linked – Please upvote the original questions and answers. (I’m a bot.)


    Question Answer Link
    I love this! Would you do it again? Secretly? No. It’s tiring and puts me on edge. With other people knowing? Yes. Once I confessed to my parents I ended up buying another birthday celebration cake and we ended up eating it together Here
    Did your parents think this was iconic as I do? No they didn’t, they told me they would have wanted some of the cake too (which is partly why I bought another cake after I confessed, so I could do it all again without the tension of having to hide it) Here
    if you were able to eat the cake within 3 days… how godo was it rate it 1/10 7 out of 10 I’d say It was a delicious cake but the fact that I had to hide took away from the joy of it Here
    I do this with Carnival Ice Cream Cakes 😋 wait why’d you need to hide it? Two reasons. First of all I didn’t want my parents making comments like “oh you’re wasting your money la la la” Secondly I wanted to test my sneakiness skills and kind of improve my problem solving skills. Here
    Why? If you’re asking why I bought it, it’s because I had always wanted to buy a birthday cake just for the hell of it and not because of some event. It’s a reminder that I’m in control of my own life and I don’t have to be controlled by the calendar. And if you’re asking why I kept it a secret it’s because I didn’t want my parents commenting about how I’m “wasting my money” because I wanted to do something I fantasized about without being shamed Here
    Did you feel any unpleasant feelings after eating so much cake? I started it on a Tuesday and finished on a Thursday. The night leading to Thursday I felt a bit unwell. It might have been a sugar crash but I’m not sure. I ended up bringing the cake with me into college (which wasn’t included in the people that weren’t meant to know about this, it was only my family that weren’t supposed to know about it) Here
    Have you asked for forgiveness from your god? Repent, sinner! I do not follow god. I am not religious Here
    Wait til you become an adult and realize you can just eat things whenever you want. Cake for breakfast? Done it many times. And you can buy things just to have them. Wild, I know. I am an adult. I’m 22 Here
    As my mother never got me a birthday cake, I love this! Why didn’t she Here
    I used to do this at a wedding cake shop. No regrets! This makes me happy to read Here
    Hello, friend. I am having positive memories of a large red velvet sheet cake I consumed in my apartment over several days in 2003. Well I’m glad Here
    This is what true freedom feels like. OP next time you have extra cash to spend and need a pick me up, get a fancy gift basket either with nuts, fruit or chocolate. Eat it to yourself, and i like to taste 1 of everything. Such a freeing feeling It is amazing Here
    What was the movie characters the cake have on it? It was a cake with a picture of Moana and Maoi or however you spell that. Here
    How old are you I’m 22 years old Here
    What flavor was it? Did you have any drink with the cake? How did your stomach fair after the three days? I didn’t think to have any drinks with it but the cake was a fondant like flavour so it was really sweet. My stomach was fine as it wasn’t the only thing I ate. I ate normal food as well as the cake. Here
    I often dream that I eat cupcakes with icing on top. Like put the whole thing in my mouth at once. They don’t sell cupcakes like this where I live. I totally understand the fantasy. How old are you? Becoming an adult is awesome because you get to do things you want and nobody can tell you anything (I mean, if it’s legal). For me it’s buying toys 😁 I’m 22 Here
    I’m sorry about the fondant. Did you actually eat that part? I love fondant. Yes I did eat that part. I love the texture of fondant. It’s basically like soft chewy sugar. Here
    I love birthday cake, I used to do this occasionally! Stopped because it’s terrible for my health 😂 but I’m addicted to birthday cake. It’s the thing I look forward to the most on my birthday tbh, not the gifts. Amazing isn’t it Here
    Where did you even hide it? Did you eat that as your 3 meals a day to manage to consume it so quickly? I hid it in my room And I realised that I couldn’t leave it in the middle of the floor because my parents would walk into my room and would see it, so I hid it in a Primark bag that I had used to buy my mum a robe as a Christmas gift last Christmas And as for the second question, it was like a 16 serving cake so I ate two slices at a time when I felt like it, and then took the final three slices into college. Here
    What motivated you to buy a birthday cake on a regular day and eat it in secret? Was it comfort eating, rebellion, a moment of self-celebration, or something else? It was long term fantasy I had. The reason I did it in secret was so I wouldn’t have to deal with the comments about wasting money. I have much more other silly fantasies that I hope to make true some day but I’m not quite there yet Here
    Did you have anything written on the cake? I think it had Moana written on it or something like that Here
    Did you get your name written on it? Will you do it again on your birthday? It was a Moana cake so no, and I might do that again, just not in secret Here
    Did this cake come from a grocery store ? If so which store and was it decorated? I bought it from my local Tesco Here
    Why did you feel the need to hide and eat it in secret? Was there shame involved or did you just not want to share? I didn’t want my parents giving me the classic you’re wasting money speech. I wanted the joy of having my fantasy fulfilled without the negativity Here
    This is awesome. What other things (big or small) do you think you might do to remind yourself that you are in control of your own destiny? Something like hosting a Christmas but nowhere near Christmas Here
    Not a question,more of a comment. Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you but how am I a hero exactly Here
    Are you looking forward to not living with your parents anymore? Oh I still live with them. But I’m moving away for uni though. If I get my driver’s licence and some cooking skills I’d do one of the other tasks in my bucket list Here
    I did this when I was pregnant with my third baby 🤣 I kept it under the bed. Did you eat it with a fork or a spoon? Did you leave the fork on spoon in the package for easy access throughout the day? 😂 I got a butter knife to cut the cake with (because I didn’t want to be caught with a kitchen one in my room because that would frighten anyone who wouldn’t know the context) and I ate it with a teaspoon. I kept the butter knife and the teaspoon in the same box and I ate the cake off the silver square thingy that the cake came with Here
    Do you like pancakes Yes I like pancakes Here
