Im sorry but what the hell's wrong with those kids? Their grown ass adults for goodness sake.

I used to work as a chef in aged care and with dementia patients it is very common to get food likes and even specific recipe's. I think the bakery and husband did the right thing and honoured his wife's memory.

@princenathaniel0728

not only did you get the cake right finally, but you also let many many other people enjoy it, showing how special it really was

@sierrafairbanks7776

The only thing I would have done differently is ask them to name the cake after her somehow. That way she lives on and is really honored. I dont think the kids have any right to be upset. They still have access to the original recipe and they also refused to help originally. So OP had every right to try and find another way.

AITA for selling my late wife’s cake recipe to a bakery

My late wife passed 3 years ago, our two kids were in their late 20s at the time. It's been a hard few years and it is even harder now that I live alone.

She had a lovely dark chocolate cherry cake. It was my favorite thing that she would make and I always requested it for Father's Day. I am a shit baker and I have tried to remake it from her notes. The notes are not very clear and it never turns out correct. It is depressing spending so much time and it being wrong.

I have asked my two kids to try and make it but they have refused to. I was told that they will not figure out the recipie and to stop asking. I went to a local bakery and asked for them to figure it out.

They agree as long as I gave them the permission to sell the cake in the store. It didn't take them long to figure it out and it is almost exactly the same to my wife's.

I bought one for Father's Day and my kids were happy about the cake until I told them the bakery did it. They are pissed I would sell their mothers recipie to a bakery.

This whole week they have been telling me how I am a jerk for this and I am wondering if I really am a jerk. I just wanted to eat her cake again

It’s a recipe! those kids need to get over themselves. I hate it when people don’t share recipes. Food makes people happy. keeping it for yourself is literally the same as stealing happiness.

the end part uhh.. "i wanted to taste her cake again, to have that little peice of her back" 💀

@so.kki_

The kids are the AH your father requested one thing and you couldn't even try it for him?!?
