There is no emoticon for maniacal laughter. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK, so last night was a DearNephew's birthday party. I wasn't asked to do the cake, which I expected because the parents consider me a goody-two-shoes, Martha Stewart wannabe and generally mock the hours of work I put into cakes when "you can just walk into a grocery store and buy one." It was like they were proud they were "sticking it to me" because they didn't order from me. It's fine, it meant I didn't have rush around after work to get it done.
So we get to the party and the cake is this sheetcake covered in brown and green squiggles with cheap plastic dinosaur toys on top of it. t looked like the grocery store staff pulled a white sheet with a shell border out of the freezer, dripped some squeeze icing from a can over it and called it a day.
The cake is served and I eat a small piece to be polite. It was awful! I know I'm sort of a cake snob now, but it had a weird plasticky, chemical taste that was just strange. The party was littered with half-eaten cake slices.
DN is too young to care that his cake tasted like plastic. so no permanent harm done.
So what have we learned? 1- You get what you pay for when it comes to cake. 2- It's worth it to spend so much time and effort to make a cake that's delicious and personal. and 3- Don't mess with goodcakefairy!! Cake doom will surely follow!!
Yep....know the feeling! I have members like that too..........bahwah........let them eat cake! Yeah, that stuff does taste like plastic......I am a cake snob too! 
So we should not let the name "good cake fairy" fool us!!! 
That is a great story! I dont think they stuck it to anyone but themselves! You will probably get a call next year!!!
They probably felt sooo stupid!! HAHA!! SUCKERS!
It's the SWEET FAIRY OF CAKE..ehhehehe.
I know I hate it when people look at me after they ask "HOW MUCH?" and they come back with...."FOR WHAT?" "EGGS< MILK AND FLOUR?"
Never mind my creativity and 25 years plus experience and now my 40g degree in Baking and Pastry.
I say...let them eat bread..hahah..blech!
(sorry bread baking fairy!)
You know, looking at your cakes I can't believe that his parents would do such a disservice to the child by buying him a mediocre cake from a bakery when he has a talented aunt who could bake a cake that would be unique, tasty and special. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder what were they thinking?! 
Diva...and everyone...you chould come back with the fact these cakes are a work of art not just a cake. Your creativity, time and effort are what they are paying for. If they cry about the price, point them the nearst grocery store with a big smile on your face!
What will make that better is the next family function that you are all together at you should make some AWESOME cake!!! Remind them Haha! And good for you!
Next time...
Take a bite of the cake..along with an alka-seltzer and a vial of fake blood cleverly hidden behind the cake slice.
Foam at the mouth.
Fall to the floor...shake violently.
Just when all the guest are standing around you....
Jump to your feet....chase kids around...scream...brains...need brains..want brains!!!!
Grab your a relative by the head...just for effect.
When the parents and all of the children are running in hysteria...
Stop.
Act completely normal and say "Great cake!"
Step into the hall closet and say "Second floor please" and close the door.
That'll teach em.....

Hey, I'm a fan of any carb. I don't think I would ever bake for these people anyway because anytime I talk about a cake project, they'll ask me how much I would charge for something, just to say, 'WHAT? that's ridiculous. Wal-Mart would charge $XX." I finally stopped answering them and starting saying, "More than you'd probably want to spend."
One of my new Year's resolutions is to less offended by stupid, rude people. In order to do that, I think I'll need a shot of vitamin snark! hehe

I can see my husband doing that! That would be HILARIOUS!!
Sometimes people can just be that way. I offered to do my cousin's son's b-day cake...and I could tell that she really did not want me to...but said ok. She told me that he would need to taste my daughter's b-day cake a month before to see if he liked the taste if the icing. She said he only likes "Kroger" icing. She even sent me these really cheap plastic figures to put on the cake. I did the cake and I guess they liked it ok. A few months later they were looking at my cake book and said that his cake looked "plain" compared to the others that I had done. I said that the other customers let me do MY design and did not send little plastic figures. I think sometimes in these situations...you are just better off when they don't ask you!
