did not get homemade cake from mom after birthday

[Sillybilly789]

I recently celebrated my birthday and according to all the resources online you are supposed to receive a letter from your in-game mom with a homemade birthday cake item the day after your birthday

On the day of my birthday everything went as expected. Villagers threw me a party, I received a gift from them and my birthday cupcakes but the next day I did not receive anything from my mom, not a letter, and not the cake.

Has this happened to anyone else? I'm wondering if it is related to the summer update because my friends who had their birthday before the update all received the homemade cake from mom. I have never time traveled so that shouldn't be an issue.

Please help, I was really looking forward to getting this item in the game

Strange. My birthday was yesterday, and both my main and alt character received a cake from mom in the morning mail.

I got it on the character's that have had their birthdays... but I also got one for my main character in, like, March. And her birthday's in January. So, it might be glitchy.

That being said, I have a spare one that I can give you if you'd like!

All 4 players got the cake on their birthday. 2 different islands and 2 different days.
