'I Made My Sister's Gender Reveal Cake Grey After She Didn't Tell Me The Gender'

A 22-year-old has admitted to deliberately making his sister’s gender reveal cake grey, after she didn’t let him know what the gender of her baby was going to be.The baking enthusiast said his sister, who is pregnant, wanted him to make the cake for her gender reveal – but when he asked her to let him know the gender, so he could make a pink or blue filling, she told him to “make it neutral for the reveal and we’ll all find out together”.She then said she’d have someone email the baby’s gender over at a later date – but the baker said they never did. And when he followed up, he claimed she said “yeah someone’s taking care of it” and that was it. Fast forward to baking deadline day and there was still no information on the baby’s gender. “So I make the cake. It’s grey inside. Grey outside. Just full on cement vibes. I even added little fondant clouds for effect. It still tasted great, but visually? Grim as hell,” said Reddit user MilktheAlgorithm.“The reveal day comes, they cut into it, and my sister looks pissed. Her husband is confused. People start murmuring. Then she pulls me aside like, ‘Why would you make it grey? That’s so passive-aggressive.’”The family baker doubled down and said he hadn’t been told the gender so had nothing to work with. But his mum has since said he “embarrassed” his sister in front of the family and that he “should’ve tried harder”.The 22-year-old asked: “AlTA [am I the asshole] for making the most neutral reveal cake in history?”Needless to say people – we’re talking 5,000 internet users – had serious thoughts on this one. And the overarching consensus was that he could’ve pushed harder to get the information he needed.Oh, and any other colour cake would’ve sufficed. One respondent said: “Asking ‘has it been sent’ and her answering ‘yeah someone’s taking care of it’ is so clearly not sufficient.“Any normal person would then follow up with ‘oh BECAUSE I DONT HAVE IT’. Your sister thought someone took care of it and literally nothing you said tipped her off that that wasn’t the case. Why would you go through the effort of making a grey cake instead of calling?”Another commented: “Why couldn’t you have made it yellow and baby themed or something? It seems pretty vindictive to make the cake a ‘grim cement vibes’ for an important event where you’d be serving many more people besides your air headed sister.“I understand you were frustrated but damn, that’s all anyone is going to remember from that event now which was kinda YTA [you’re the asshole].”One commenter concluded: “You could have simply let her know you couldn’t make the cake because that information was never given to you.“This was petty and mean.”Related...I'm A Baby Name Expert – This Is The Number 1 Trend That's Not Going AnywhereA ‘Big Baby Trial’ Found 1 Way To Help Women Birth Larger Babies SafelyI Believed My Baby Was Going To Die – Now I Want To Help Parents With Allergy Anxiety
