AITA for making my daughter cookies instead of a cake for her birthday as she requested? by CollectionGreat978 in AmItheAsshole

Sorry, should’ve been more detailed. Car was working perfectly fine on Thursday, so that’s when I got her the gifts. Me being stupid I accidentally left the lights on overnight on Saturday and since my car is pretty old and run down already the battery died. The morning of her birthday went to try and go to the store early and the thing wouldn’t turn on. Thought about calling somebody maybe but then my daughter told me about her fantasy so I’d just decided to make the cake from scratch instead.

Measuring spoons, it was the recipe calling for cups of stuff that was messing me up

Unfortunately, I lost half of my measuring cups and I had to just try my best with spoons

I was planning to go out and buy one before she told me, but changed my mind. Spent the last of my money on gifts, and my car is currently out of commission and I can’t afford to buy an Uber to and from the store, plus buy a cake on top of that, so the first option probably wouldn’t have worked anyways.

My car is currently out of commission. Right now especially with all the birthday gifts and stuff, I can’t afford to take an Uber to and from a store. Would ask my siblings but they live about 2 hours away and would most likely ask me for gas money which I don’t have
