Painfully Honest Cakes

Remember, kids, if you can't say anything nice...

...say it with cake.

Today is National Honesty Day, but before you go dropping those truth bombs, let's take a look at some ways you can be completely honest but still somewhat polite:

And my personal favorite:

Only works with Angelas, though.

I just realized if you read those three together, you get a short poem:

"You are tolerable.
You are slightly above average.
You are Angela."

I like it.

If you can be a little more effusive, there's also this option for a completely honest compliment:

"And hey, I mean that."

But let's be honest: 99% of the people you know are total jerkfaces, and the only reason we say nice things on their cakes is because it's their birthday and we want cake.

So here's a compromise: start with "happy birthday," and then throw in a little truth:

Boom.

See, the exclamation mark makes it chipper!

The misspelling will confuse everyone long enough for us to make a run for it.

If you'd rather avoid all that conflict, though, then how about a general statement that everyone can agree on?

TRUTH.
