AITA for wanting my favorite flavor of cake for my birthday?

“I’m turning 22 in a few days and I have been asked what cake I would like.

I wasn’t expecting any cake because I’m an adult now and I have a 1 month old son, so I haven’t put much thought into it. But I naturally answered that I wanted a red velvet cake because it was my absolute favorite and I don’t get to eat it but like once in 5 years because I just don’t think about it much. I don’t eat sweets much (not counting pregnancy) so I was thinking, why not?

Then I was given a lecture that I’m not the only one eating cake so I should get a flavor that everyone can enjoy. I understood this so I said why not get a vanilla or chocolate cake for everyone and then I can get a small 1st birthday type red velvet for me then.

Then I was given a lecture about appearing selfish to the guests. And when I didn’t want to back down and give up the red velvet cake I was accused of being an A-hole.

I don’t feel like I’m the A-hole here but I want to find out the truth. If I am the A-hole then I’ll apologize and surrender the flavor I want and just have cake by myself a few days later or something.”
