Hi Y'all!!
As many will likely remember in various threads I related the story of the woman whom I had a wedding consultation with last Fall who wanted "a 6 foot wedding cake and I don't want to pay for it..." Well guess who called today!!!
She called me today and asked me if I could still do the cake, and before I committed I asked her if she still wanted a 6 foot cake because if she did, all the rules change at that point. She laughed and said no, her daughter was in town over the holidays and picked out a simple 4 tiered cake design with fresh flowers on top, stating "it's only a cake, Mom". In light of that news, I accepted. She told me that she would mail me a picture of the cake and at our next consultation she would give me a (nonrefundable) deposit (which goes toward the final price of her cake.) This reserves the date for her.
Honestly! You just never know in this business! I was not at all impressed with her going in and was offended at her cheapness and quite frankly thought she was a bit weird. But what I think happened is (what I told her would happen) she shopped my prices all over town and found out that I was INDEED her best friend!!! Oh well. Go figure! The wedding is next September and I'll post pix when I'm done...
Well at least her daughter sounds reasonable.
Congratulations on the booking and I'll look forward to seeing the pics. This is indeed a crazy business.
daltonam - Just peeked at this thread and cringed a little at your "Florida Gator Country" location......ya'll are whip'n us Buckeyes right now! WOW!
daltonam... I am in Ohio - but I couldn't be happier for the Gators!! I went to high school with Urban and I wanted to see him win the championship! It is soooooo cool to think that someone from the small little high school we went to - can accomplish such great things!!
Congrats to you all!!
Congratulations!
I haven't sold cakes (made them for free) but catering jobs go the same way...
People want the stops pulled out for weiner prices...
Congrats again!
