I made the hamburger cake to age up my toddler and he did not take a piece... I hope it does not do that from now on...I have not tried the other cakes.
This is slightly off topic, but what is the hamburger cake, and how do you make it? I've got several sims with their cooking skill maxed out, and I've never seen this. Is it something associated with the baking skill instead?
I've also had the issue where they keep autonomously taking food and putting it in their inventory. I never thought about how that would affect weddings and birthdays. The last time I tried to have a wedding, my sims couldn't get married because the game thought the one was in the employ of the other, which is not the case.
Hello
You need to own the " up all night " set pack which is a part of the " digital deluxe" version of the Sims 4, to be able to have the hamburger cake option.
This is beyond annoying. I'm trying to create a bakery. Is there any hint as to when and if this will be fixed? There really is no point to having the game options to bake professionally as long as this is an issue.
Same thing happened to me. I was having a birthday party for my vampire and then when I tried to prepare a cake the sim kept grabbing a piece of it not allowing me to add birthday candles, I tried to make a cake 5 times but all times my sims ate the cake
This is really annoying lol.I assume it has something to do with toddlers, but they shouldn't make it automatic.If I want to feed my toddler what I'm cooking, I'll do it myself, plus not all families have children so, why do I need to carry food around?
Agree I hate it. If I direct my Sims now to 'cook' they auto take a serving for inventory. If I tell them to serve dinner etc. they auto put a plate in inventory (lives alone he was cooking for friends visiting) He was starving but now too silly to actually take a serving and eat it, he put it in inventory.

I don't know if this will always work but it did for me after baking my fifth cake, I paused the game right when the cake came out of the oven, cancelled the take a serving action that the sim that made the cake had, and then I had a different sim add birthday candles, and unpaused the game

Hello @Joaquinoa Welcome to the forums!
Your feedback on what helped with the issue in your game is very helpful for simmers who have this issue. It is thoughtful of you to post about it
I solved the problem with cake, cooking them before starting the event, put it in fridge and after that starting the event.
Grab the cake from fridge, put the candles. The action it works, but the game generate an exception file.
The game doesn't crash, but the exception file indicate that there is an error in game.
The mod on MTS doesn't work well, because the issue from the game couldn't be solved with a simple tuning. It's something more deeper. I hope that EA will fix this soon.
So the thing to do is: have them make a cake. As soon as they're done making it, pause the game. Then drag the cake to a different spot (the counter, the table, whatever) and they won't be able to take a piece. Then immediately queue the action to add birthday candles (preferably while still in pause- also check no one else is on their way to take a piece, and if so, delete the action) and you can age your sims up normally. It's annoying but this workaround hasn't failed me yet

Hello
It is great to read the helpful workaround that is working for the issue in your game
This is ruining my wedding as we speak!
Caterer is broken and won't make the cake(Still!).
I keep making my groom and bride make wedding cakes and they keep auto faking a piece before I can put the wedding topper on.
This is the 3rd cake!
Both their hunger is in green, make it stop please!
Was fighting this problem yesterday. Was trying to make a birthday cake and she kept taking a serving as soon as it was baked!

Hello
I am sorry that you had this issue also I hope that the workarounds in this thread may help you next time that your sim is making a birthday cake.
....Also, is there a mod to take the time limit off on parties. This auto take a serving is ruining parties and I need more time to try and make cakes.
'Longer Parties/ More guests' mod allows you to have a party that lasts 24 hours. You can choose just the longer parties mod - but having more guests is a really nice option. http://modthesims.info/d/558097
I seem to remember in the Sims 3 I had a bonfire uni party that ran all night (or was it all weekend?). Not sure if it was broken up by the cops or just died out itself

Made three cakes and had the same issue with two (can't remember if three sims tried) different sims.
Today it wasn't an issue, but the party went too quick and the guests didn't register it was even a birthday party, didn't celebrate the blowing out of candles, no gifts (although the game did give me a book as a gift once it was done) etc.
I have this issue when they cook a regular meal, but thankfully it hasn't happened with cakes (yet) and they don't keep hold of either of the plates; they big plate stays on the counter and they put the serving they took in their inventory. Its still really annoying though I hope this and all of the CAS bugs get fixed soon!
I just had this happen on a cake! It was a birthday cake so I ended up having to make another for my toddlers birthday party. It was confetti cake btw
I made the hamburger cake to age up my toddler and he did not take a piece... I hope it does not do that from now on...I have not tried the other cakes.
This is slightly off topic, but what is the hamburger cake, and how do you make it? I've got several sims with their cooking skill maxed out, and I've never seen this. Is it something associated with the baking skill instead?

The last time I tried to have a wedding, my sims couldn't get married because the game thought the one was in the employ of the other, which is not the case.
The Hamburger Cake is apart of the Up All Night DLC (Digital Deluxe Upgrade). I actually just had the same problem where my sim was told she could not propose to her boyfriend because of employ too. I just made him quit his job and restart it. But he was only at the second stage of culinary.

Hello
If you continue to have the issue with not being able to have your sim propose because of being in the employment of the other, breaking up with any other boyfriends /girl friends that the sims have has helped other simmers with the issue.
This is ruining my wedding as we speak!

I keep making my groom and bride make wedding cakes and they keep auto faking a piece before I can put the wedding topper on.

I figured out a solution! Okay, so, immediately after the cake comes out of the oven, stop the next task that occurs. It'll make the Sim go into the default pose, the one where they look like a mannequin, but that's what's supposed to happen! After a couple seconds, they'll set the cake down on the table, and IMMEDIATELY after they do that, put the wedding topper/birthday candles on the cake. There you go -- problem solved!
I had to do that exact same thing!!! Pretty much the only way if you catch it quick enough then you are good. But another way is to go into build mode and place a fridge but no surface to place it on right after he/she puts it in the oven. That way they will auto put it in the fridge and not be able to steal a slice before topper is put on

Hello
The tip about having the fridge but no surface to place it on is a very helpful workaround for the issue! Thanks for posting it!
I have found something that usually works. If you cancel the cooking action right when they're taking something out of the oven, and then immediately queue up another action, like clean up a plate, or walk to the next room, they should go directly to that next action without taking a piece.

It is good that in the end you were able to get the birthday cake, without a slice taken out of it. I am sorry that you had the issue,
