Her In-Laws Always Put Down Her Baking Skills So She Fooled Them Into Finally Trying Something That She Made
A 32-year-old woman is married to her husband Pete, who is 2 years older than she is, and the annoying thing about Pete’s family is that the women he is related to all pride themselves on being talented with baking things.
Now, she also is a great baker in her own right, and she even used to have a little baking business as a side hustle, but she eventually gave it up because she prefers to keep baking as a fun past-time.
Her in-laws have always put down her baking skills and ignored the fact that she really does know what she’s doing when it comes to baking desserts.
As soon as she was introduced to Pete’s family, they made it really clear to her that her current sister-in-law Kay is the star of the show in terms of anything being baked in their family.
All of her in-laws rave about Kay, and there was no room for them to be willing to even try something outside of Kay’s baked goods.
“Even when Pete mentioned how good my stuff was, everyone would say that Kay sells hers and they’re popular so they must be better,” she explained.
“Whenever I bring treats, they are often left untouched because “they are not Kay’s”. Yes, I’ve been told that. They ask me to bring something every get-together and never touch it.”
Last weekend, her in-laws had a get-together, and Kay make some cake pops. She saw the evening before the get-together that Kay was posting photos of her desserts, so she came up with a plan.
She made the same cake pops that Kay did, down to the exact same design and flavor.

When the day of the get-together arrived, she snuck her cake pops in right next to the one that Kay had made without anyone realizing.
She could tell the difference though, as the cake pops that she created had a smoother coating and they were a bit smaller and more round as well.
Her in-laws were starting to eat the cake pops that she made, and not the ones that Kay had made, and they were really loving them.
Kay noticed that her cake pops were pretty much left untouched, and that’s when she decided to own up to what happened.
“Kay was confused and said hers were still on the table,” she said.
“That’s when I said, “Oh, I brought those. Glad you enjoyed them.” Her husband said he hadn’t had one yet (lies, he ate two) and everyone else just said, “yeah, they were okay.” Kay didn’t say anything the rest of the night.”
“Pete thought it was funny (he didn’t know what I did until the reveal) but his brother (Kay’s husband) said yesterday that what I did was mean and I’m just mad that Kay is a better baker.”
“But Pete said it’s ridiculous the family, including Kay, puts down my baking when they won’t even try it all because I’m not Kay.”
Do you think the way that she fooled her in-laws into finally trying something she baked was a brilliant move?
