I've got a birthday coming up, and honestly...how do you tell people not to give you cake? I've communicated as much to family and coworkers, but they want to give me a cake anyway! I don't want to be rude and refuse a gift, especially if they've made it, but when I've specifically said I can't have cake...that means I can't have cake!
What should I say--"you guys go ahead, I can't"? My gut tells me to be honest and stick to my guns. But it's horribly tempting. Cake is one of my favorite foods...
I feel like I'm being sabotaged.
