How old's your son? Depending on his age you could tell your sister-in-law that he wants a character themed cake this year and you don't want to hassle her. Tell her that it's easier to pick up a SpongeBob cake at BaskinRobbins than for her to make it. She'll be happy because you've thought of her needs and your son gets a cool *** cake.

This is hard to watch. It won't help to confront her, though, and it may make things worse for her daughter. The daughter will grow up and end this if she is able to maintain her own sense of self. The best you can do is try to keep things so that you have access to the daughter. Your approval and support will empower the child and will mean more than you know. (My aunt never knew how important her few visits were to counter-acting the effects of my bad mother, but she was a very important role model for me.) However, do not take any sh*t toward your own child. Protect her like a mother bear. If the abusive woman knows this, however, she may go after yours to get to you. Do not let her near her if that's the case. Avoid any time when they'd be near each other and be straight with your child telling her openly that the woman is bad.

I would just tell her that you are going to try something different this year. Tell her that your son really wants to go to the store and pick out the cake he wants. Be sure to tell her that you appreciate her offer but you think it's best to let your son have some control over his birthday cake.

Does she do cakes with things on them or just a plain cake? If it is just a plain cake, let her make it...but let her know that your son wanted one from the store (you know one with what ever character your son is in to) Tell her you appreciate the effort she has put into making the cake, but your son really has her heart said on a store bought cake. If she wants to still make it, you will just end up with 2 cakes and your guest can decide which they want.

Dear Sis, little Tommy can't stomach any more of your cakes and I've been having a hard time finding any more neighbors to pawn off the leftovers on as well. I gave last year's cake to Mr. Wilson, and he was later taken to the hospital by ambulance with gastroencepholophagus, that was caused by something in the cake, according to emergency room staff. I'll do the cooking this year, but you're still welcome to come, and enjoy the party with us as you know we always enjoy you immensely and think the world of you.
Sincerely, you loving sister.

Tell her for the last 3 years she has baked these cakes and this year you are going to give her a break. All you want is for her to attend the party and you will take care of everything else. Tell her you don't want her to lift a finger, she deseves this break and it's your turn to show her how appreciative you are for all that she has done.

Just tell her that you are going to buy a cake this year. I really don't know how a cake goes down hill, but if they don't suit you tell her so.

No matter how down hill they are. Let her know, that you be doing different on cakes from then on. Store or home-make. If you don't won't her, get someone else. Or you can do it. Just let her know, ahead of time.

How old is your son? You could always tell her that this year you're getting him a themed cake from the store, so could she please bring some other dessert or a smaller cake?
