Holy moly - I bet y'all thought I fell off the face of the earth!!! I've been SWAMPED with taking care of my late father's estate. word to the wise. MAKE A WILL.

Anyway, I was unable to go to the wedding, but I had another coworker fill me in on the cake. She said the cake looked "ok", but that it tasted AWFUL. Apparently Little Miss Cheap-A** decided to have it done by a bakery in town - paying MORE than what I quoted her. WHAT AN INSULT. I guess the one good thing is EVERYONE from work kept telling that she should've had me make the cake because mine taste MUCH better. I guess it was just a very basic cake - marbled(hello Walmart??) wit No filling. Wasn't torted or anything. Her loss - I offered to do it with filling and all for $50 les than what she ended up paying. NOW she wants me to make her daughter's birthday cake. (it was her second wedding) I told her I'd have to see if I could "fit it in". PUH-LEASE, I KNOW I can, I'm just being a bit bitchy. Hey, I never claimed to be mature......

So sorry about all your family troubles. That can be so stressful.

Isn't that always the way! I had a girl that saved herself a whopping $90 and ended up with a cake that wasn't stacked the way she wanted, tasted like sawdust with bc and a groom's cake that looked like a 4 yo decorated it!

First, I am sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the update. Everyone has been waiting, holding their breaths in anticipation of the outcome. Looks like she may have learned her lesson with getting a more costly but crappy cake (which serves her right with how badly she treated you). I am not sure I would make anything for her but then again, she may end up being a really good customer since she had a bad experience by not using you in the first place...

Have a great day!

p.s. I would do the daughters cake, just to hear everyone say once again...wow this is good cake, you should've ordered it from her for your wedding. haha

Sorry about your loss! Another peice of advice would be if not a will, at least a living trust.

Do the little girls birthday cake and do not give the lady a discount. She is no friend of yours, as she has proven. Maya Angelou said "If someone shows you who they are, believe them." Show the lady what a gracious person you are and agree to make the cake, but for regular price.

Make her daughter's cake so that she can see and taste what a fantastic cake she missed out on.

I agree-do the daughters cake and let her realize the mistake!!! And I am sure there will be others that will try the cake and truly wish she had used you for the wedding!!!! Some people just have to learn things the hard way....


And I am so sorry to hear about your father.

Can you post your original "I've been snubbed." I'm wondering if this is the conclusion to the Bridezilla that was going to make her own cake, too. I can't remember which post you're talking about.

I agree with everyone else, do the cake for her daughter at your regular price.

Sorry for your loss.

Glad to hear your back, sorry for your loss.

I would make the cake so she can realize what she lost. NO DISCOUNT, charge like everyone else.

Yeah Baby!, that cheap bride got what she deserved, a cheap Nasty cake!

Do her dear daughter a favor and make her cake at regular price! No use punishing an innocent child with an ucky cake from the same place, then again the mom could just make it considering it's just basicaly some sweet bread with icing on it! OOHHHH, I'm so glad that you get to have the last laugh on this one!



PS- sorry for the loss of your father.

This is the one that didn't come back! Now she's back and filled us in!!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father.

Glad to have you back here, though! I can't believe the nerve of that crazy woman, and then she paid even more for her wedding cake!!! I agree with others, though ... make her daughter's birthday cake, and make it fabulous!! Make sure you charge every penny of full price, too!!!

I'm sorry for the loss of your father.

It sounds to me that maybe the wedding cake she had was actually "humble pie" in disguise. The fact that she has returned to you shows that she has realized the error of her ways and has been made aware of your talent. It takes a certain level of humility to come back to someone you have snubbed. I would be sure to do her daughters cake. There's no sense in making the child pay for her mothers mistakes. Besides, once the mother gets a piece of your tasty cake in her mouth it will only reinforce the fact that she should have went with you in the first place.

one time i had a bride cancel on me, because she could get the cake cheaper if her auntie did it, or some kinda excuse like that....anyway, she still got the grooms sheetcake from me....as sheetcakes are of course alot cheaper....

well........(i kinda liked this).....one of the guests came into the shop a few weeks later and said no one hardly touched the wedding cake it was so dry......but they goobled the grooms cake up and were comming back for more, and were disappointed it was all gone.

i guess they gotta live and learn...to bad though on thier wedding day!
