My DH's #@%^&%$ ex thinks I should make a free cake for her son's fourth b-day 
. This is a child with her new SO - not my stepson. Last year she told him at my stepdaughter's b-day party (her daughter) to tell Miss T what kind of cake he wanted. How do you say no to a then three year old??? So I made the cake - no charge, of course - she offered nothing. So this year, I explained that I just wouldn't have the time because I had a cake I was being paid for to do the same weekend. She has been less than friendly since. Oh well. However, I will help my stepchildren to make a cake for their little brother - but not do it myself!!
It's her problem, not yours. Don't sweat it.
I think if I had the time I would make it. Forget about the X! The little boy will hold you dear in his heart if you do it for him. You will be rewarded for your kindness.
i'm with PoodleDoodle on this one. I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around and she will get hers. Do it for the little boy...he deserves a good role model in his life.
Oh well. However, I will help my stepchildren to make a cake for their little brother - but not do it myself!!
That is a great idea! A four year old will be much more impressed with a cake made for him by an older sibling- no matter how odd looking it might be -than a perfect one made by his sibling's step-mother. Plus it will be a good learning experience for your step-children. God love you, it will more likely wind up more effort on your part to supervise than to do it yourself.
That's some nerve! I think you did the right thing. She's having some control issues or something. That sweet boy will love a cake that his mother actually pays for just as much as anything else-- as long as it has lots of frosting, everyone's happy. Don't sweat it-- just get him a nice gift and nobody loses (except for el cheapo ex!)
I have talked with my stepchildren (they are 10 and 11) and we have decided that I will bake, torte and base frost the cake, and they will decorate in a baseball theme for their brother. I'm looking forward to the time we can spend and helping them with their first decorating lesson. It should be fun!! Thanks to everyone for their support on this.
I will post a pic when it is done. LOL. His b-day is on the 15th of July.
His siblings making it will be the right thing. My ex's wife gets angry, because I always get a gift for her neice(they are adopting her). I simply replied " She is going to be my daughters sister. why should she get her feelings hurt when she comes and watches so & so open gifts." The whole ex thing can get really rediculous.
