Once upon a time,cakeswere a luxury, but the baking world has never been as advanced as it is today. As new flavors and their combinations hit the market, people are gobbling them down, but they also have a “not for me” list of flavors they prefer never to eat.
Take Reddit userLeoHyuuga,who doesn’t like coconut in his cake. He threw out the slice that was offered to him rather than eat it. Well, the woman who baked it threw a fit over that and her partner started sending angry texts to the original poster (OP)!

However, the cake had desiccated coconut in it—which the poster is not a big fan of—so he ate a few bites, then threw it away

Later, he received a ton of angry texts from Steven about how Amy had cried all night as she didn’t even get a slice herself, while the poster threw his away
Today, we dive into quite a bizarre tale that might leave you scratching your head, wondering the reason behind a woman’s actions. What happened was that the poster had gone to his friend’s birthday party and was chatting with a guy. Suddenly, Amy—their friend Steven’spartner—came up with cake slices that she had baked and handed one to them.
They both noticed that she had an odd look on her face when they took their slices but they just thanked her and didn’t say anything. After eating the cake, however, OP realized that it had desiccated coconut in it and since he didn’t really like it, he only ate a few more bites before throwing it away.
The drama unfolded after everyone wenthomeand the poster received really angry texts from Steven, claiming how upset Amy was about OP throwing away the cake when she did not even get to eat it herself. Moreover, he said that she knew he didn’t like coconut, but offered it to be polite, yet, the poster threw it away out of spite.

The poster’s anxiety was soon quelled because he got a response from his other friends who also receivedangrymessages from Steven, and some even insulted our guy because he was gay. Speaking about how anxious he felt when his friends didn’t respond, OP said, “It’s always better to be patient and trust your friends.”
However, the biggest plot twist OP told us was that he met with Steven who was gobsmacked when he heard about the messages—because it turned out it was Amy all along who had sent them from his Facebook! Apparently, she didn’t like the poster and had the strange idea that he was somehow instigating everyone against her.
All this because many of the others didn’t eat the cake either! Quite a few netizens also had a lot to say about coconut being present in a cake and how they found it strange, so we askedSakshi Kulkarni—a professional baker and chef at the 5-star restaurantSoho Housein Mumbai—to comment on it.
She mentioned that although it might seem surprising, coconut is actually quite a well-liked ingredient in cakes.
“When luscious, citrusy raspberries are combined with the sweet, milky nuances of coconut, it creates quite a divine taste that can have polarized reactions. Some love it, even if they don’t like coconut, while others might find it a distasteful blend,” Sakshi added.
Well, as mouth-watering as it sounds to me, not everyone is a fan, like OP and his other friends. Folks declared that it was unfair of Amy to offer it to the poster, knowing he didn’t like it, and herhatecampaign against him landed her in trouble.
Folks sided with the poster and said that Amy’s actions were bizarre, and some even wondered whether she had sent the texts pretending to be Steven
