Ok...I'll bite...I've been reading this thing for too long not to. It sounds like you did everything you could. It was a mistake, most brides would probably roll with it but not this one. Chalk this one up to experience and just know that you tried very hard to reconcile with her. Don't worry...just go on. I'm sorry that she just wanted to berate you. Not fun...she'll get hers...that's how the universe works.

Ouch...I agree with Sunnybono though...you did everything you could. Some people just need to vent and then they feel even if they hurt others. Sorry that happened to you.

BTW...thanks for updating us. icon_wink.gif

That's nasty. You certainly didn't deserve that. Now ... just in case she ever comes back asking for her free cake --- tell her you are unable to work with her or tack on a $200 charge for abuse.

Good for you for letting it go. I have a hard time not obsessing about things like that. Better luck with your future customers.

See, this is the kind of bride I was. I didn't focus too much on this sort of thing. Stuff went wrong, I still got married and stayed married and the Hiccups just are OVER and done with. My sister got married a few weeks ago and pretty much let me plan the whole thing from beginning to end. When someone asked her what song they were coming in on, she said, "I don't know go ask my sister". The lady almost fell to the floor. The ceremony was beautiful but their relationship was not wrapped up in ONE DAY!!!!!!!! Sorry to rant but I do understand the Over the top bride who has to get exactly what she paid for and leave no room for error! Not very realistic. Just had to get that out. Now on the other hand, I kinda sorta get the whole I want what I paid for deal too (to a certain extent). Since there was so little money made off of this cake, I would either give her the 50.00 bucks and count this one as a loss and learning mistake or I would GIFT her a anniversary cake. You probably know her better than we do.

Just my two cents icon_smile.gif
