FlowerGirlMN--
Add my name to the poster list. Let me know where and when to send money.

Can't let a good idea like this one get away!

Truth be told that when an artist (no matter what they do) gets busy or carried away we forget the tedious parts of Business Management. That's why I "CMA" with emails or simple addendums to the contract. And if by any chance the person phones in a change I chute them an email saying: As per ou conversation today or As per our conversation on January 3th your cake order for January 10th for 40 people will have the following changes.... [i]After including all the details I place a disclaimer in the bottom of the page in a square text box with the following: The information above is for sole use of Ms. Complain A Lot, if for any reason you have received this email in error please accept our apologies and delete this email. However, if the email has been received by our client (Ms. Complain A Lot) changes as per your request have been received. If you have not requested such changes you must communicate with us within the next 24 hours otherwise you are accepting the changes to be true and final.

Good look to you I'm sure you will be fine.

I love it. Maybe you should put a price on each one. What the first stone piece would sell for.....and the statue of David. What a paint by number painting would be worth...and the Van Gogh. A WalMart cake....and a pro decorator cake.

Indydebi is right it's from this how to article http://weddings.about.com/od/weddingcakesfoodmenus/ss/decoweddingcake_10.htm . I would never take a picture from this site. Heck I'd probably have to pick a early one of mine. LOL Plus I would never intentionally hurt someones feelings like that. That article is crazy which is why I chose it. I have never heard of anyone final coating a cake after it's assembled among other things. The poster was something I just threw together - cuz I love to play on the computer and loved the concept.

Oh, my. I didn't realize that cake came from an article advising people how to make their own cakes. She must have been an intern for Sandra Lee. icon_biggrin.gif

I just sent that in to Jen at Cakewrecks. Surely that qualifies!

Fabulous post!! thumbs_up.gif

I was one that hated contracts more than one page long, but as I've come to find out, the dumber the public, the longer the contract has to be. I had one FOB complain because I didnt' fold up and put away tables. First, I am LONG GONE by the time the event is over. Second, I am not a cleaning service or a maintenance crew. They did not pay me to provide a maintenance crew. But because of this incident, I had to add a clause to my Terms document stating that "I am not a cleaning service......" icon_confused.gif

I do buffet catering. That means you walk down the buffet table and fill your plate with whatever you want. I've had people be surprised and upset that they weren't being served "cafeteria style" .... my staff standing behind the table, filling the plate and handing it to them. So because some people don't understand "buffet catering", I had to add a clause to the contract explaining exactly HOW they will get their food on their plate. icon_confused.gif

Luv your email footnote, too!! thumbs_up.gif

See, I'd be a total bitch about it and use a picture of MY wedding cake, that I got stuck with, as a result of the nasty kickback deals courtesy of the Local Cake Mafia.

Tuf boards showing and all. As a reminder, see attached photo.

Too bad pictures can't convey freezer burn taste.

I would have charged her more for the cake, no matter how plain it was!
