Sorry this is long, but it just goes to show what can happen if you have a soft heart.   A few weeks after a no response princess castle cake, I have this woman call my house and leave a message that she would like to talk to...

I have read all the comments on this thread, and have laughed quite hard a number of times!  I do cakes occasionally for people from my home because it is something I love to do.  But I will add a couple of things I've had...
