T, my sister and father have done this to me and just last week during a company Thanksgiving party I watched my boss do it to a pumpkin pie while me and my coworker stared in disgust
My uncle did it to a beautiful pumpkin pie with pecan topping I made for thanksgiving about six years ago. I pulled it out of the oven and he immediately went for a slice. I told him that it actually has to cool for a little while so it sets. He told me a confusing story about a wedding he went to where they never gave the guests cake, the moral seeming to be “I want pie now”. He walked away and I briefly left to take care of something else. I came back to a hole in my pie :(
You're not weirdos. What you've posted above is gremlin behavior. Absolutely absurd behavior that unfortunately happens.
Not exactly the same thing but adjacent, when I was a teenager, my aunt bought an ice cream cake from like Baskin Robins or some shit, and was sharing with my boyfriend and I. It had Animal (the muppet) on it. I said I wanted to eat his head, as in I wanted to cut my slice of cake so I could eat his head.
My boyfriend then proceeded to reach into the ice cream cake with his bare hand, rip out Animal's head and shove the handful of ice cream cake in his mouth.
Maybe it's just a specific subset of very lucky people. Growing up, I always had to stay in the kitchen and watch the baked goods like a hawk, or they'd all disappear under not-so-mysterious circumstances (my siblings, deciding to be dessert vultures) before I could finish working on them.
it’s probably because your mom and your husbands mom were both the type to always have baked goods around. if it’s a rare sight people will tend to snatch it up quicker. just a theory!
This is so hard for some people, and you naturally see it more on this sub. Well this isn't my experience, so i just can't fathom that it would happen! about totally plausible stuff.
I have siblings, I've always loved baking, but we were raised with fucking respect and would've gotten in a world of trouble for pulling some bullshit like that
Yeah, I absolutely believe this happens because people are gross selfish trolls, but I never witnessed it in my home growing up. Cheers to not being raised by wolves! 🤣🥂
Nope it’s not weird I have 2 siblings and my sister is an amazing baker she bakes stuff all the time and when she bakes it’s normally for the whole family. I would never cut into her unfinished stuff, it’s much better when she’s finished with it anyways and I know she’ll let me have as much as I want when she’s done with it anyways. The only thing that has ever happened in my household that has come close to this is me accidentally opening and using the whipped cream she planned to use but she still had enough and I bought her a whole nother tub anyways.
U - If a teenager or someone in the house did it in secret, they would have just cut out the chunk they wanted instead of taking the time to score/slice that entire half of the cake. I think the caption is fake, and the person who made the cake cut it and took out their preferred piece first.

U - Literally came here to check if this had been posted because who takes it out of the MIDDLE?! That’s not even the good part. If all of your families are stealing middle pieces of cake they’re not only assholes but also have bad taste in baked goods. Refuse to believe you don’t steal a corner piece here. Willing to be convinced that everyone else lives with jerks who will forego the best part just to piss you off, but glad that’s not my life.
wtf are you even talking about ? What’s wrong with taking the middle first ? Like it would surely be easier to take from the side but it doesn’t change anything about the cake
the cake was sitting to cool before frosting/decorating it. also, cakes are often made for occasions. just coming in and taking a slice out of the middle before it’s served or ready is unquestionably rude behavior
“left it on the counter to cool for an hour before i iced it.” it’s literally in the title that it wasn’t done cooling yet.
ETA: the rest of the context is… cake. yes, some people bake purely for fun but people often make cakes, specifically, for a reason. and even if it was just for fun, it wasn’t finished and someone came in and took a piece with complete disregard to the person who baked it
The image simply doesn’t make much sense without knowing its from mildlyinfuriating subreddit and I just assumed people are mad someone took middle piece from their own cake
why would anyone be mad about that? even without knowing it’s from mildlyinfuriating, the title clearly gives the context someone else ate a piece before they were able to ice their cake. the cake wasn’t finished and someone took a piece. that’s fucking rude
Very easy to say it’s clear when you know the subreddit. Without it it’s not clear. Maybe they cut out the middle for faster cooling and are just sharing a picture of unfinished cake. Maybe they will be icing each individually.
The edges have the crust that’s good! I’m learning from this post that I live in a world of people who don’t prioritize the caramelization of edge pieces. Wild. More for me I guess.
It’s cut in straight lines into squares. It’s cut in normal way. Anyway the context apparently is that other family member did this before the maker finished the cake, which is not apparent from this post
Not sure if you’re being purposefully obtuse or what, but taking a piece right out of the middle, especially when the cake wasn’t even finished is not normal.
Cutting into an unfinished cake is not a normal way to cut a cake, and taking a piece from the middle is not a normal way to serve a cake. And I really do hope that you’re being obtuse on purpose because the alternative is actually concerning.

They done that to you ? They cut chunk from your body ?
WELL YALL. This is a TIL moment because I have never in my life seen this before, growing up or in my household now 😂
This is genuinely wild to me.
Were you perhaps an only child, or not a household that commonly baked?
Nope! Have a sibling and my mom always had baked goods around.
Just asked my husband too whose mom is an avid baker and he has siblings - same story. Maybe we’re just weirdos or scared to break the rules WHO KNOWS

I'm 40 and this memory still annoys me.
What an absolute little shit, and now I'm annoyed for you

It's sad when a family has such a lack of respect for each other.
it’s probably because your mom and your husbands mom were both the type to always have baked goods around. if it’s a rare sight people will tend to snatch it up quicker. just a theory!
I also have a sibling and a mom who baked. And I've never seen it either but I don't doubt others have. Takes all kinds!
This is so hard for some people, and you naturally see it more on this sub. Well this isn't my experience, so i just can't fathom that it would happen! about totally plausible stuff.
I try to have an open mind. :)
Yeah it’s crazy people are acting like it’s normal and implying you’re weird for not having that happen in your family.
Believe it or not some people just don’t do this. My brother would never do it.
I have siblings, I've always loved baking, but we were raised with fucking respect and would've gotten in a world of trouble for pulling some bullshit like that
Yeah, some of these replies are starting to make me think I may just have been raised with vultures for siblings.

T - people suck
I'm just finding out that a lot of people here have huge assholes for family members. I've never seen this in real life.
In my family, no one takes the first piece or the last piece unless they're threatened at knifepoint.
Me and my roommates once let the last piece of cake go mouldy because we were all too polite to take it.
Yeah ive never seen someone do this and if i did, I'd be tempted to cut THEM off before I'm done cooling, this is unhinged behavior lol
Me neither, I feel like a crazy person now for assuming this doesn’t happen commonly 🥴
Never seen this either....in fact I just commented on this and considered posting it here as well...which is how I found your post
T this is Futurecanoe's signature move.

I have personally seen this on multiple occasions. (Several times I was the culprit.)

Lucky OP never having to live with a bunch of selfish assholes or immature/young people.

T! Know I’m late to the party but in my house this 1000% would happen I made cookies to bring to my class and most were gone in the morning 😭
one time i partially sliced a watermelon and only cut out and ate the good middle parts 😔 they were really delicious though
Came to this sub to post this exact thing. I am BAFFLED by some of these responses… y’all have extremely rude and inconsiderate family members.
Ruining something that a family member was working hard on would not fly in my household.

Corners suck though. They went right for the best part. Are you okay?

Where is this context written ?!?! The picture doesn’t even have name of the subreddit
“left it on the counter to cool for an hour before i iced it.” it’s literally in the title that it wasn’t done cooling yet.

Ambiguous without knowing it’s from mildlyinfuriating subreddit
there’s a piece missing, that’s not ambiguous? jesus, i feel like you’re trolling me right now
The image simply doesn’t make much sense without knowing its from mildlyinfuriating subreddit and I just assumed people are mad someone took middle piece from their own cake

This is “a pretty common thing” to happen for people trying to get internet points
"Ruined" & it's still perfectly edible
U
Why doesn't anybody understand what an untrustworthy poptart is anymore?
"T - I do that."
Doesn't fucking matter.
"U" with an argument about what they think happened. Bitch you don't need to argue.
Just look at the sub description, let the rules alone:
"How do we know you didn't just put a 3rd one in the pack?"
How do we know you didn't just cut the middle square out yourself? This is what an untrustworthy poptart is!
That cake is not ruined.
what’s ruined about it exactly ? This is normal way to cut such cake it doesn’t matter that first slice wasn’t taken from the corner
Please define normal, because I don’t think it means what you think it means.
It’s cut in straight lines into squares. It’s cut in normal way. Anyway the context apparently is that other family member did this before the maker finished the cake, which is not apparent from this post
It says that in the title that's in the picture. It was pretty apparent to most of us, I think.
Not sure if you’re being purposefully obtuse or what, but taking a piece right out of the middle, especially when the cake wasn’t even finished is not normal.
Are you obtuse on purpose? It’s CUT in normal way. Taking from the middle is different action irrelevant to how it’s cut
Cutting into an unfinished cake is not a normal way to cut a cake, and taking a piece from the middle is not a normal way to serve a cake. And I really do hope that you’re being obtuse on purpose because the alternative is actually concerning.
