MOB didn't like the cake

Several months ago I received a phone call from a woman that wanted to order a wedding cake for your daughter's wedding. She was very annoyed with her daughter because she (the mom) was put in charge of the cake and decided to make it a star wars theme. The daughter found out and said "no way". So, she was now going to match the theme of the wedding which was fall (fall leaves, pumpkins...). Didn't want a tasting, never met her or daughter. Everything was arranged over the phone and email. She signed the contract I sent her and paid in full right away.

I get a call from the mom who is crying her eyes out 4 days before the wedding because she was emailed a picture of the custom cake topper she ordered and she hated it. She wanted more leaves on the topper than the woman that made it put. I told her I would add some leaves around, no big deal.

The topper arrived at my house 2 days before the wedding. My husband and I thought it was really cute and matched the theme really well.

Cake is delivered this past Saturday. The woman at the venue commented several times that the cake was pretty and the photographer said she really like the cake and the topper. I also made a dozen cupcakes of each flavor (redvelet and carrot) with the left over batter and sent them to work with my husband. All his work mates loved them.

Today I get an email from the mother saying:
I have kinda been putting this off all day and I am sorry. I wasn't sure exactly what to say.

I would like to thank you for being very easy to work with and putting up with my emotional state about the cake topper. It wasn't so bad and the "kids" liked it and that's what mattered the most to me.

I would really like to leave it at that. There is no point in going over the comments and details of the cake itself, I'm sure you did your best.

I have no clue what she is talking about. I plan on calling the venue tomorrow to see what "comments" were made. My husband thinks she is one of those people you can't please, I hope that is the case because I am proud of my cake.

When she talked about "the kids" liking it, I think "it" was the topper, not the cake.

I don't plan on contacting her again. I figure if she really wanted me to know what she didn't like, she would have told me in the email. I think she wants me to inquire.

What I don't get is if I spent $400 on anything and didn't like it, I would tell the person. Kindly, of course, but to me that is good chunk of change and I would want to feel it was money well spent. Who takes the time to email someone and not tell them what they didn't like: taste, decorations, texture... It is killing me not to know.

I never had any intention on emailing her back. I don't want to open that door.

I am not fishing for compliments, but no one has said anything about the cake. Is it bad? You can be honest, maybe I am looking at it through "rose colored glasses".
