OMG, I just read ALL 38 pages!!!!
You guys are such bad influence, I have Easter baskets to make (actually shop for, omg) start dinner and make Easter bread and a little cake and here I am reading 38 pages of "as the cake turns"....lol!!!!
Even my 11 year old son new that $550 was not enough for this amazing cake. I mean really are these people still back in the what 50's or 60's price range (maybe we need to go back a little further to get that much cake for that price). I think that is very ignorant to think that they could do something like this and get away with it.
If she is at her friends wedding I hope she is having a blast and not thinking about these crazy people.
The flowers are incredible and I am sure that it was a very yummy cake too 
.
Now please get back to us with more news....better yet....I meet you guys at her doorstep

Okay, it's almost midnight and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm for bed now. I don't think I'll be able to sleep, though, from the sheer suspense of what is happening here.
I'll have to set my clock back half an hour so I have time to catch up in the morning before going to the zoo.
Sleep well fellow cakers. 
To the OP:
I want to congratulate you on a gorgeous cake. I love the roses. It looks like you took a great deal of time getting everything just right.
I'm sure everyone who is lucky enough to eat this wonderful cake will appreciate it. Beautiful work that looks delicious.

And the best part is, the bride has to pay all that money for the cake and she didn't even get to eat it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (evil laugh...she totally deserves it).
And no pretty picture with it.
Yep, and years from now when her kids ask why she doesn't have a picture of mommy and daddy cutting a slice of the cake. Ha!
grrr.... now I wanna know what happened! I guess Monday we might know more.
this is why I have been thinking about not having my own shop... just being a decorator in a nice shop a la B weber.
Sucks, im sorry. I hope she get's what she deserves.
I feel SO BAD for the groom.
dsevans - where are you???? Please please PLEASE tell us what has happened! I simply cannot wait till monday.
I was just thinking the same thing. How come she's not glued to her computer like we are???
She's at her friend's wedding today......remember she was finishing up the cake for that at home last night
Boy do we all need to get a life
, we're all still glued to the comp Especially those of us who just happen to be celebrating a Birthday today
I hope you made your cheesecake Birthday cake 
Nope, no life here!
Got the cheesecake baked in the wee hours of the morning. Dropped all my grand plans of decorating it, poured some choc ganache and called it a day. I figure I'm entitled since it was for me
Off to bday dinner in a while, hope I don't miss too much!

Don't feel bad! I burned breakfast, skipped lunch and STILL have to make piping gel and candy clay items for tomorrows cake! I so LOVE this site!
Wow, I finally got to the end. I am completely floored at the audacity of some people. Kudos to OP for keeping a level head and sticking to your guns. Your cake is beautifully done, despite the color choice of the bride's. I hope she's sweating bullets and gets what is coming to her. And even though her mother won't be involved in being prosecuted, I hope karma bites her in the ass for being a witch and raising an ungrateful, selfish, brat.
I'm sure the people at the venue and your church will love getting that yummy looking cake!
Ok- still catching up (evidenty...) but MOB will get what she deserves when she has to bail her precious daughter out of jail. ROTFLMAO

My Birthday was Wednesday and I had to make one for myself as well. And then my kids decorated it. They're 10 and 5 so use your imagination!
Happy Birthday!

The "minders" remove it..... 
As someone who worked at a bank and had to go testify at one of these types of things. YES the bank can take action. Thankfully the girl was wanted on other things too and plead guilty so I didn't have to testify when I got to the courthouse.
In the case you are talking about did the bank "make the payment" or were the funds never transferred from the check writer to the payee? If the bank had in fact made the payment to the payee, they (the bank) becomes the victim not the person to whom the check was written. If the bank demanded repayment from the person to whom the funds were given, and that person refunded the money to the bank, the person to whom the check had been written becomes the victim.
Based on what you're saying here compared to what you said before - you are contradicting yourself...I'm confused. The bank doesn't "pay" anyone...they withdraw funds from the account it's been written from - the victim is always the payee...never the bank. With that said - that doesn't mean they can't go after the customer who committed fraud. They have an obligation to do so based on the federal fraud laws. Think of it as the bank being the middle-man enforcing the banking laws.
A check is a contract to pay the amount of money it's made out for. If you knowingly write a check that you have no intention of paying, that is fraud. End of story...The bank is involved because it was their customer, not because it was their money.
A bank will take the money back from your account whether you have the money in there or not. Yes, the account is then negative if the funds weren't available to take back but it's the victim's debt at that point. The bank owns none of the money in any of these accounts so I do not see how the bank can ever be a victim unless they have loaned money and the loan is in default.
hmmmm
I do believe that we are agreeing on the same thing. The bank can only be a victim if they have a monetary loss. Otherwise it is between the person who did the stop payment and the person who was suppose to receive the payment. If you write a check that has sufficient funds to cover there can not be a "check fraud". If you then stop payment, still with sufficient funds available, you have just comitted a fraud on the person who you owe the money to. If you write a check from an account that does not have sufficient funds available you have once again comitted a fraud toward the person you owe. If you have written a check without sufficient funds available and your bank made payment to the payee, you have just comitted a fraud (in most states what is called writing a bad check) against the bank. If the bank is unable to retrieve the funds from the payee, the bank certainly will go after the check writer.
Ok...I think I get it now. Between the cake orders I had today, training my new employee and the 5 samplings, my brain just wasn't processing...lol
I just can't wait to hear what happens next...lol Pathetic? Yes...but, it's a Saturday night and I'm home watching this thread...what does that tell you? lol
Tammi
ok sorry for this, but what is OP, cant find it in the thread of abrrevations.
