I’m white Ms Shirleen and we do this too- the name, picture, decorations, frosting flowers ALL go to the birthday girl or boy. I would go so far as to say that only people you like should be allowed to get a piece with the writing on it …. Just saying😂
It’s not just y’all!!!! 😂 And if there’s a flower on there, bday girl gets the biggest one! Don’t get me started on if you got a McDonald’s cake with that rock hard piece of sugar that was Ronald McDonald!!!!
Reminds me of the time my Grandmother bought me a birthday cake when I was 8. It said, "Happy Birthday Shirley"..... My name is not Shirley. I did not know how to feel at that moment. 🤣🤣🤣
Never had a cake with my picture on it, but, no.. no one ever protected my name for ANY reason! 😅😅😭😭😭 Now I have more things to add to my ever growing list of childhood traumas.
If it's my birthday cake, I get my name. We always save the name for the birthday person. If my cake has a picture (we don't really do pictures on a cake) it's mine to eat. Same for all my kids and my husband. That's what my parents did, too.
I went to a little girls party years ago and she started crying because they cut and ate part of her face on the cake. Just make a normal birthday cake.
😂😂😂... reminds me of the "Prayer of a Selfish Child" "...If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my toys to break...so none of the other kids can use them."
47yo..my momma STILL don’t play…my name piece, no matter the size, goes to ME..😅😂😂..my relatives already know SHE will throw hands about me..😫😫🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🥴😂
For my sons 1st birthday he had a cake shaped as a number 1 with all his pictures from birth on it, my MIL acted a fool when it was time to cut the cake.😂😂😂
It's a Black thing & a Birthday thing too! I'm saying what you've said Shirleen! "If its not your birthday,why are you eating my name & face?!" Those are mine! Them's the rules!🎂😂😂😂😂
🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂Sis... Yeeees, it's just US! My question is... Why are the pictures and names soooo big on the cake. We can't even enjoy the cake, because as soon as the cake is being cut someone chargers from the back saying, "Y'all bet not cut my baby's face or name....save it for them!" Lol 😂 😂...Maaaaaan, I love being BLACK#❤
🎯🖐️😭true story . I thought I was going to my GMA house for HER & sister (who share Same day birthday ) birthday celebration at HER house was going to present a cake with just HER name on it. Gurrrrl th cake had HER and the sister namee on it and HER name was missing a few letters on the end. Now I didn't think about it until I noticed it in a photo I took . I was wondering why GMA was kinda looking funny like she was pissed 😭😭😭 besides the fact that it was treated as a grand event 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Idt im going to bring it up @ this point (3 months later) . On top of I felt bad afterwards bcuz I sent her photos from that night and realized THAT photo is in the mix !!
I always save and wrap up carefully the piece with the birthday girl pr boys name on it for the bday kid for next day. That way there's something special about that piece of cake the day after the party for them.
It really just be us!😂😂😂
Right 😂😂😂
Yes, it’s just “us” because “we” are the only ones putting full pictures on a cake lol 🎂
Nobody eat the name or the picture...both of'em go in Big Mama deep freezer 😂
💁🏾♀️Why you eatin my picture?? Why you eating my picture?? 😭🤣🤣🤣
Its spititual...nobody bet' NOT be eatin yo name or yo pitcha 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 hell yea! My family would say something like…Your stomach might hurt or your face will itch! …like what?😆

I’m Blk..DONT FORGET we freeze the name and pic 🤣🤣
Forget eating the picture and the name…just let me scrape and eat the icing that y’all just left hanging on the edge lol. That’s my favorite part! 😂
No lies detected AT ALL😂😂😂😂!!!
Talk about Shirleen! It’s my cake, it’s my bday I will be the only one eating my name or my face.
My people do not do this. But it is the right thing to do.
It's only us that do that. I told a large group of my white coworkers that this in the norm in black household and they were baffled
I have never known this in my community 😂 but I truly love this and I agree it's the right thing to do 🎉❤
This has never been done for me on my birthday and I have clearly been cheated every birthday, this is not right 🤣🙌
My family eat the whole cake don’t matter who’s in the picture or name on the cake. They ate my face and name for two birthdays and two graduations 😂😂
Why is my picture on the cake to begin with? Just because it's possible, doesn't mean you should do it.
I went crazy when someone tried to cut my mom’s name on her birthday cake.
What you said!! 😂😂😂
My husband had a picture cake and we ate it. We are white😂
I cut my picture and name. Then I eat it later. Lol.😅😂
Never had a cake with my picture on it, but, no.. no one ever protected my name for ANY reason!
😅😅😭😭😭
Now I have more things to add to my ever growing list of childhood traumas.
😂😂😂
If it's my birthday cake, I get my name. We always save the name for the birthday person. If my cake has a picture (we don't really do pictures on a cake) it's mine to eat. Same for all my kids and my husband. That's what my parents did, too.
It's Us YEAP!! 🤣
Now I really want some cake.
It might just be us😂😂
I'm just gonna need a big icing border around my face and my name! Or put me in the corner with the most icing! 🤣 😂😂😂
I went to a little girls party years ago and she started crying because they cut and ate part of her face on the cake. Just make a normal birthday cake.
Poor baby 🤣🤣
My cake, my picture. Don't eat it!
This got me so weak 😂😂😂
Yes both name and picture are for the bd person!🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Some of us be cutting around the flowers in the corners and the happy Birthday too.
😂😂😂 I never got my picture on there man lol
Lol! 😂😂 Nobody could eat my name or my Picture. We use to always say this at every birthday party.
YOU BETTA KNO IT! I don't want you to eat it. I'm not gonna eat it either. Cuz I'm full and spiteful.
😂😂😂... reminds me of the "Prayer of a Selfish Child" "...If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my toys to break...so none of the other kids can use them."
That's a LOT of cake for one person🤭😁😂
Yup...just us.😂

47yo..my momma STILL don’t play…my name piece, no matter the size, goes to ME..😅😂😂..my relatives already know SHE will throw hands about me..😫😫🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🥴😂
I've seen others do it, Italians😅
I don't even get no cake - let alone with names and pictures on it! 😭😭😭
I made sure for my cakes, my picture and my name were for me. One time someone did and I almost had a meltdown 😭😂😂😂

This is true.😂🎉 facts.. my cake, my day
Must be spiritual 😂
For my sons 1st birthday he had a cake shaped as a number 1 with all his pictures from birth on it, my MIL acted a fool when it was time to cut the cake.😂😂😂
Absolutely, we respect the birthday boy or girl!
It's a Black thing & a Birthday thing too! I'm saying what you've said Shirleen! "If its not your birthday,why are you eating my name & face?!" Those are mine! Them's the rules!🎂😂😂😂😂
There's my name. Lol.
This is Gospel!!!!

🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂Sis... Yeeees, it's just US! My question is... Why are the pictures and names soooo big on the cake. We can't even enjoy the cake, because as soon as the cake is being cut someone chargers from the back saying, "Y'all bet not cut my baby's face or name....save it for them!" Lol 😂 😂...Maaaaaan, I love being BLACK#❤

🎯🖐️😭true story . I thought I was going to my GMA house for HER & sister (who share Same day birthday ) birthday celebration at HER house was going to present a cake with just HER name on it.

Yes black folks say the names and the picture on the cake I've done it with family members myself😊
Lol, I just did this a few weeks ago for my nephew’s cake 😂
It's true yes I did 3 times after that no more 😂😂😂😂😂
I had neighbors who NEVER cut the cake at any of the 20 parties I went to period! It was for family only! 😮
What? 😂😂😂 Unreasonable!
Yesssss!!😅😅😅
THE NUMBER ONE RULE.!!!!!!!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
😂😂 I don't think we the only ones 😆😆
My family did but not me! I hate for the pieces to not be even!
I always save and wrap up carefully the piece with the birthday girl pr boys name on it for the bday kid for next day. That way there's something special about that piece of cake the day after the party for them.
This should be the law!
And theres always that perfect cut caker that knows how to navigate and cut around it! Mines was my aunt
I don’t know why I these cakes remind me of obituaries. I find them kind of morbid.
Please don’t ever put my picture on a cake….
THIS WAS SERIOUS IN MY FAMILY! You don’t eat someone’s name or picture on THEIR cake!
😂😂😂😂 yup
I never got a cake with my name, much less my picture.
I never had a picture cake. That's fancy. Our cakes were homemade.
Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone eating the birthday person’s name or pic unless they let it be known they don’t care if others at it!
Absolutely.
hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
We lucky if we get a cake , with a picture or name , and or even a decoration. It just say Happy Birthday.
You know what? Let me hush. ❤
Our pic, name and at least 1 corner rsvp for the birthday person
