We've all hopefully got that cool aunt or uncle in the family who makes every reunion, barbecue and gathering so much more fun. But, if you have one of those in your family, you know it can also make some of the other (less fun) characters jealous! We're not sure if that's exactly what happened here, but we've definitely got a family fight for the ages brewing in this neighborhood.
What happened was this: Auntie comes over to babysit, and her adorable six year old niece wants to make a cake for her dad for his birthday. Everything sounds reasonable so far, right? Here's where we take a turn. Apparently, this six year old is quite headstrong, and likes doing everything themselves. Of course that's every six year old we know, but that's besides the point. Anyway, like most adults know, letting kids be independent is the best way to build their character. So, the aunt let her do the cake herself, and for the cake's sake, that was the wrong decision. It came out awful, but the aunt had an extra trick up her sleeve.
The cake went into the fridge, the niece was told they'd frost it the day after, and then the aunt got to work making an entirely new cake from scratch. The next day, they pretended it was the 6-year-old's cake, and the kid's mom totally freaked! But, she freaked even more when she found out her sister had fed the original cake to her dog. The whole situation is a mess of misunderstanding, and had us laughing our butts off, so we know you're going to enjoy it too. And, keep scrolling at the end for more great content just like this!
Like we said before, this aunt sounds amazing with the way she's letting her niece be her own person! Most kids can't even muster up the courage to get into the kitchen (come to think of it, that lasts all the way through college for some people), but this little girl is taking charge! Still, maybe this family needs to think about getting her some lessons.
Aside from the fact that giving dogs too much sugar over their lifetime can cause health problems down the line, we can't possibly see what OP could have done wrong here. She tried to protect her niece's feelings, she told her sister a funny story, and she still made sure that her brother-in-law got a great birthday cake!
