My poor husband. All he asked for for Fathers Day was a cake like I make for everyone else. I say sure and then proceed to do a "rush job" on his poor cake to accomadate other ones I have to do. He dosen't know the difference (if it's cake it must be good )but I do and now I'm feeling terrible . Anyone else ever been in this perdicament?

Of course....... we all have from time to time....... but I'm sure he will enjoy the cake you made for him, and don't forget..... the "others" don't get the "special" treats reserved only for him !

Nop! Im so glad my husband settles with the scraps and humps I take off other cakes, sometimes I pile them nicely and add some butercream balls. He is extra happy!

I'm sure he will love it! My husband always spends like 1.2 seconds looking at a cake before he munches it down anyway!

Last year, Father's Day arrived the day after my nephew graduated from high school. I had made a gigantic sidewalk cake with a full sized completely edible chocolate skateboard on top for the grad--it took me 4 days to make that cake. Needless to say, making a Father's Day cake was not on my radar.

While I was relaxing on Sunday, waiting to take DH out for a nice dinner, I realized that I had enough cake scraps and buttercream leftover to make him a very unique cake. I lined up scraps and held them all together with lots of buttercream. I iced it with chocolate BC and wrote "Happy Father's Day" on it. He was so tickled--you'd have thought it was a true masterpiece. I guess it really is the thought that counts

I totally was supposed to make a cake for my dad today.. and I didnt. Im not sure if he was expecting one- but I feel terrible for not making one. Luckily- my dh is so sick of scraps and buttercream balls that he didnt want a cake for fathers day.

I know exactly what you mean! I did a rush job on my stepsons 18th bday cake. He told me the night before his bday what he wanted! (how about that for pressure!) I did my best but only about 1/3 of it got eaten. Maybe it wasn't good enough?!! Anyway, I felt awful that I didn't put as much time in as I usually do.
I'm sure your husband will love his cake!!!

Thanks everyone you made me feel much better. My husband really liked his cake as I (and everyone here) knew he would. I just have to keep reminding myself that this man could care less what it looks like as long as it's cake. Father's Day is after all, not about me...

Mine didn't get a cake. He ate the tops from the 2 I had for Saturday.

Ok..I felt bad about not baking a cake for Fathers Day for DH so I hurried up and made cupcakes and decorated them as bears (He collects expensive Teddy Bears) He liked them but still hasn't eaten one!

Good going, Dixiegal!!

I felt bad not making my hubby a cake, but I had made a graduation cake and my daughter's birthday cake that were due the day before. Plus we had my daughter's ice skating party on Saturday and straight from there we met my in-laws at a restaurant of their choosing and were stuck there for about 2-1/2 hours. My poor toddler was cooped up in the car seat, stroller and booster seat/high chair all day. She was not a happy camper on Sat. Hubby couldn't wait to leave either, but as usual his father kept asking him, "where else do you have to be?"

Then Sunday came and all hubby wanted to do was clean the house. So I let him. Guess that wasn't the best father's day, so I'll try to surprise him this coming weekend with a special little cake just for him.

My dh didn't get a cake! I was going to make him a cake - I had it all planned out. But...my daughter's 3-tier cake for her bday was due the day before. I took a nap on Sat, & when I woke up I told him that I was going to start on his cake & he said not to worry about it. I think he knew how tired I was! Plus, we had leftovers from our dd's cake! I thought it would be silly to make another one.

I'm sure he loved his cake!!!
