Ok so I had a customer have their 18 year old pick up their graduation cake today, party tomorrow, and when she left we told her how to handle the sheet cake and lay it on a flat place in the car. So an hour later the dad calls complaining how the cake looked like crap it was falling apart and the "frosting must not have been set up" those were his exact words. The cake had been done for 5 hours so it was "set up". Now my question is what to do about it? We are so booked this weekend with cakes that to do a whole new cake double layer sheet cake would even put us here that much later, especially when I don't think it was our fault. Whatever happened, obviously happen in the hour it took her to get home, I am thinking she may have put it in the back and turned corners sharp the cake could have been sliding side to side hitting the edges of the car? I don't know? All I know is that it was perfect when it left our shop.
So I told the dad to bring the cake back we could look at it see if its fixable or what may have happened but he acts like he wants a whole new cake.
This is not the first time customers have picked up a cake from my shop and just "throw it in the back seat" so to speak, I just don't understand them its like you spend so much on the cake and its the centerpiece but yet instead of putting in the back of the SUV on a flat surface they put the beer there, really??? Even after warnings of what may happen.
Sorry for the vent, but do you all use forms that they have to sign when they pick up the cake that everything looks ok and your not responsible after it leaves the shop?? If so can I have a copy of it lol
I don't have time to do another cake but I don't want this girls graduation party to be ruined either, what to do?????
