Bringing a Birthday Cake to a Restaurant

Who does this? I could see a small cake for a child, at a very casual place.. like Chucky Cheese.. Would you feel comfortable bringing a birthday cake to a restaurant when celebrating someone's birthday?

What's the problem?

Was hoping cake was for Braylon

I can see both sides of the issue. The restaurant owner in the article comes off as arrogant, but having 10 people at a nice restaurant and then whipping out the Wal Mart cake is a little trashy as well.
I personally wouldn't do it, but I can understand those who do.

This is not a big deal at all if you pay for a bunch of other stuff. It's absurd you think this is a big deal.
Eta:
Obviously not at a super nice/formal place, but 75% of restaurants this is fine if you have a large tab pre-dessert.

I've never seen this at a really nice place. But if I bring a cake to Superior Grill after we all buy* dinner and gallons of margaritas, you should not care.

I'm thinking people who hold birthday parties at fancy restaurants don't bring Walmart cakes.

I don't see the problem...?
I personally wouldn't have my bday party at a restaurant, but I've been to plenty where people brought a cake.
The restaurant never seemed to care.

I doubt it would be from walmart. High end bakeries probably make better cakes than nice restaurants.

Can't say I love the idea, but we did do it when a friend was in town for the weekend. We got him a nice cake from a local bakery, and it wasn't possible for them to take it back or anything. So for the birthday dinner we went to a nice restaurant in town, and they charged us like 10-15 bucks to cut and serve it with some sort of awesome ice cream. It was an expensive dinner already, and they certainly didn't appear to mind at all. Plus our servers knew of the bakery so it isn't like they're serving something from the grocery store.
Anyway, it's not a significant faux pas in my opinion.

Do restaurants charge a "cutting" fee like they do when you bring your own wine?
Posted on 1/15/16 at 8:27 am to bdevill
I'm just trying to figure out why you were on delish.com in the first place.

adults that have birthday parties are trashy

In my one time experience they did. But I called ahead and cleared it with the restaurant as I wasn't sure if that kind of thing was frowned upon.

My birthday is Tuesday and my buddy and and I are having a big joint bday drunk lunch the following weekend at our favorite restaurant in a private room.
Is that trashy?

I just used trashy because it's the OT but to have a party as an adult is definitely weird imo
