she expects my daughter to do all of that because my daughter was the one who said she was gifting “the cake” for the party.

Why would two grown adults, one of whom was a professional baker, think that a 16-year-old amateur baker can deliver a 60? Moreover

I didn’t know this. Three weeks before the sweet-16 party, my daughter got a call from Helen’s sister who used to be a baker. She started talking about my daughter making the cake for the entire party of 60.

My good friend Helen and I both have 16-year-old daughters. Last year, my daughter made a small, beautifully decorated cake for Helen’s daughter’s birthday. My daughter decided to gift Helen’s daughter another cake this year.
