Pick a Cake to See How “Difficult” You Really Are
(Be Honest — We’re Checking Your First Choice)
It usually means you have standards, opinions, and a very low tolerance for nonsense. But how difficult are you, really? Are you mildly particular… or the human equivalent of a customer service nightmare who says “actually” a lot?
The answer lies in cake. 🎂
Not because cake is magical (okay, it is), but because cake choices reveal far more about your personality than you’d like to admit.
So here’s how this works:
Scroll through the cakes below
Do not overthink it
Pick the first cake that speaks to you
Don’t change your mind
Yes, we’ll know if you do
Cake #1: Classic Chocolate Fudge Cake
This cake is rich, dark, unapologetically chocolatey. No fruit. No twists. No “elevated” nonsense. Just layers of deep cocoa sponge, thick fudge frosting, and zero interest in impressing anyone.
If you picked this cake…
You are selectively difficult.
You don’t ask for much, but when you do ask for something, you expect it to be done correctly. You have a very strong internal reaction to people who complicate simple things.
You say things like:
“Why are we reinventing this?”
“Just do what you said you’d do.”
You are difficult only when:
People waste your time
People don’t listen
People promise things they can’t deliver
Your biggest flaw? You assume everyone else operates with the same level of common sense you do. They do not.
Difficulty Rating: 6/10
You’re chill — until someone makes something harder than it needs to be.
Cake #2: Vanilla Bean Cake with Buttercream
Soft, elegant, minimal. The kind of cake that looks “simple” until you realize how hard it is to do well. Real vanilla. Perfect crumb. Smooth buttercream.
If you picked this cake…
You are quietly difficult — the most dangerous kind.
You don’t complain loudly. You don’t make scenes. You just… notice everything. And once someone falls in your estimation, they never quite recover.
You have strong opinions about:
Tone
Manners
Effort
“Vibes”
You don’t demand perfection, but you do expect intentionality. Sloppiness is your enemy.
Your difficulty shows up as:
Long pauses before responding
Polite sentences that sting
“It’s fine” (it is not fine)
Difficulty Rating: 7/10
People think you’re easygoing. They are wrong.
Cake #3: Red Velvet Cake
Moody. Dramatic. Slightly controversial. Is it chocolate? Is it vanilla? Why is it red? Why does it have opinions?
If you picked this cake…
You are emotionally difficult, and you know it.
You feel things deeply, intensely, and immediately. You don’t hide your reactions well, and honestly? You don’t really want to.
You’re passionate, expressive, and occasionally overwhelming — especially to people who prefer emotional beige.
You struggle with:
Letting things go
Not taking things personally
People who are “too chill”
But you’re also:
Loyal
Honest
Magnetic
Your difficulty comes from intensity, not malice.
Difficulty Rating: 8/10
You are a lot — but in a way people secretly love.
Cake #4: Lemon Drizzle Cake
Bright. Sharp. Refreshing. Slightly aggressive if done right.
If you picked this cake…
You are intellectually difficult.
You ask questions. You challenge assumptions. You notice inconsistencies. You are not satisfied with surface-level answers.
You are the person who says:
“But why?”
“That doesn’t actually make sense.”
“Have you considered the alternative?”
You don’t mean to be annoying — your brain just won’t accept things that don’t add up.
Your difficulty shows up most in conversations, debates, and group decisions. You are allergic to bad logic.
Difficulty Rating: 7.5/10
You’re not trying to argue. You’re trying to be correct.
Cake #5: Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Complex. Unexpected. Deeply misunderstood. Has layers of spice and personality.
If you picked this cake…
You are principled difficult.
You care about things. A lot. Ethics. Fairness. Intent. Context. You don’t just react — you evaluate.
You struggle with:
Hypocrisy
Injustice
People who say one thing and do another
You will absolutely die on a hill if it aligns with your values. And yes, you have multiple hills.
Your difficulty isn’t about control — it’s about integrity.
Difficulty Rating: 8/10
You’re not stubborn. You’re consistent.
Cake #6: Cheesecake
Dense. Serious. Rich. Demands commitment.
If you picked this cake…
You are high-maintenance difficult, but you’re worth it.
You know exactly what you like, what you don’t like, and what you will not tolerate. You don’t apologize for having needs.
You require:
Clear communication
Emotional availability
Follow-through
People who half-try exhaust you.
Your difficulty comes from knowing your worth — and refusing to lower the bar to make others comfortable.
Difficulty Rating: 9/10
Not everyone can handle you. That’s the point.
Cake #7: Funfetti Cake
Colorful. Nostalgic. Loudly joyful. Zero shame.
If you picked this cake…
You are chaotically difficult.
You are fun. You are spontaneous. You are emotionally expressive. You are also wildly unpredictable.
You struggle with:
Boredom
Routine
People who take life too seriously
Your difficulty comes from being hard to pin down. One day you’re chill. The next day you’ve decided everything needs to change immediately.
Difficulty Rating: 7/10
You’re not difficult — you’re an adventure.
Cake #8: Black Forest Cake
Dark chocolate. Cherries. Cream. Drama.
If you picked this cake…
You are romantically difficult.
You want depth. Passion. Meaning. You are not interested in shallow connections or half-hearted effort.
You struggle with:
Settling
Emotional laziness
People who “don’t know what they want”
Your difficulty shows up in relationships more than anywhere else. You expect intensity, honesty, and real connection.
Difficulty Rating: 8.5/10
You love deeply — and expect the same in return.
Cake #9: Minimalist Japanese Strawberry Shortcake
Light. Elegant. Balanced. Nothing extra.
If you picked this cake…
You are aesthetic difficult.
You care about harmony, presentation, and flow. You are deeply affected by atmosphere.
You struggle with:
Clutter (physical or emotional)
Loud personalities
Chaos without purpose
Your difficulty is subtle. You don’t demand — you withdraw. And once you disengage, it’s hard to get you back.
Difficulty Rating: 6.5/10
You’re peaceful, not passive.
Cake #10: Custom, Over-the-Top Designer Cake
Multiple tiers. Gold leaf. Unnecessary detail. A statement.
If you picked this cake…
You are extra difficult — proudly.
You like excellence. You like impact. You like things done properly. You are not afraid of being “too much.”
You struggle with:
Mediocrity
Low effort
