Birthday Desserts Almost As Traumatizing As Getting Older

When it comes to birthdays, there are only two types of people: those who love their birthday, and those who hate it. Whatever your stance is on birthdays, we can all come together and agree that if there is one good thing about it, it's the birthday desserts that come with it.

But what happens when that's taken away from you, too, just like your youth? These people capture the 'surprise' they got in the form of a personalized birthday dessert, and they had better all be free.

The Raisins Are A Nice Touch

I know that most people are a fan of pasta and you can't really go wrong with it, but this person found a way. It is not a cake, and certainly shouldn't be served solidified.

This Could Have Been Done Differently

Getting someone a stack of their favorite donut, in this case blueberry, is an excellent idea. What is not a good idea is trying to stack them and add more icing. It looks so sad.

Do They Hate This Person?

Nothing says happy birthday like a package of vegan sausages! They didn't even bother to cook them up for whoever received this. This is a hateful birthday dessert for the coworker no one likes.

This Sheep Looks Terrified

That cake sheep desperately needs out of that plastic wrap or something bad is going to happen. I'm not sure what, but it will. It looks like it's five seconds away from a meltdown.

Where To Start With This One

A Mountain Dew and Dorito cupcake? Let's be serious, most of us know someone who would love to get this on their birthday. You just can't account for some people's tastes.

Why Does This Make Sense?

A cockroach 60th birthday cake is the kind of festive treat we all deserve when we turn a year older. Of all the cakes on this list, this might be the only one I would try.

At Least They Tried

No birthday cake? That doesn't seem to be a problem for these people who had some BBQ sauce, a tortilla, and sprinkles. The candles are a nice touch, so let's not be too judgemental.

Is This Person OK?

Treating yourself on your birthday is a right we all have, but making a buttercream sandwich out of the crusts seems a little sad. Just order yourself a whole cake.

The Longer You Look, The Worse It Gets

For starters, M&Ms and Cheetos don't go together. Secondly, those hot dogs look very not cooked and that cheese should at least be melted. I hope this person is OK.

Wow, This Looks Great... Wait A Minute

Don't be fooled by that delicious looking icing! It's mashed potatoes and meatloaf. That blue was too good to be true. At least this one looks like a cake, but I am uncomfortable.

Cheesecake Cheese Steak?

Try saying that one five times fast. Steak and dessert do not go together, no matter what any meat lover is going to tell you. Some things should be kept sacred, like cheesecake.

Why ruin so many good things? Peanut butter and jelly should be on warm, fluffy bread, or maybe even in a brownie, not smothered all over spaghetti. They didn't even mix them together.

This Is Just Gross

There was an attempt at a fancy dessert with grated chocolate over a Halloween Oreo with ganache and nerds all melted on a tortilla. It did not turn out as anything close to edible, though.

This Is A Joke, Right?

An orange and chocolate layer cake with broccoli, words we never thought would be said together in the same sentence. Vegetables do not belong in a dessert. You shouldn't even have to eat them on your birthday.

Gotta Love Whipped Cream

What you don't have to love is whipped cream all over a hotdog. What is it with hotdogs being a weird dessert people seem to be into? Are we missing out on something potentially great?

At Least They Listened

Sometimes when you order a cake, you get something that isn't even close to the words you wanted on it. These people have the opposite problem — they listened too well and were too literal.

I'm not sure why anyone attempts to make princess cakes when so few of them turn out well. It's for sure not the worst one out there, but it isn't good either.

This Might Be Worth Trying

Not sure why this person had to put Sour Patch Kids all over their pie when they could have just eaten them separately, but it's their birthday so I'm not going to judge.

What do you get when you mix vanilla pudding, lime jello, and canned mandarin oranges? This monstrosity is what you get. It looks so watery and unappetizing. At least it's a birthday they'll remember.

These Things Do Not Go Together

The creme brûlée looks excellent, let's just get that out there. But pairing it with fish and a waffle is a bold move, but a wrong one. That fish doesn't even look cooked.
