So my husband has been taking cupcakes to work and one of his co workers has asked to order cupcakes for a party. Well my husband told her she needs to call me and place the order. It took her two weeks to call me. When she finally calls she tells me she wants 50 cupcakes 1/2 red velvet 1/2 plain? I'm like what is plain? Do you mean vanilla, yellow, or white? She is likle the plain ones! I'm like ok well I will make them yellow what kind of frosting would you like. She is like I want the frosting white bc the colors are white and silver and gold. I'm like ok got it. She then says she wants the letter p on 1/2 and the number 50 on the other half. She says that is for her mom who has passed and would have been 50 this year. I thought that was sweet. She says that she wants them to be flat on the cupcake. I told her that I could make them out of fondant and she says she wants them silver and gold and shiny. But she wants the icing flat and the numbers letters on them flat. But then says she wants cream cheese frosting on the red velvet!!! ok maybe I'm slow but WHAT??? So I'm like ok well I can use fondant for the letters. and place it on top of the cupcake but I would swirl the icing on. She's like no I want it flat but I want buttercream. I don't know what she is talking about really I don't. She asked me how she is going to get the cupcakes and I told her my husband would bring them to work. She then asked can she get a picture of the cupcakes bc she wants to see how they are going to look. She is now getting on my last nerve!!! But I say no problem I can send it by text the week of the party so you can see one. Now I'm annoyed bc does she expect me to make her cupcakes early just so I can ice one so she can see it. I'm sure they will be dry and hard by saturday.
My husband goes to work and he sees her and she informs him that she has off on saturday so how is she going to get her cupcakes. He tells her well call my wife and discuss it with her but I know that she asked me to bring them to you. He told her that if she didn't call he would call her the next day. He calls her and she doesn't answer. So he sees her again two days later and he wants to give her the quote but she disappers. I told my hubby she probably doesn't want the order. I usually bake on Thursday's and Friday's and this last week I was going to bake a few extra cupcakes to take a picture to show her but since we didn't hear from her I didn't. She calls me today like "oh I'm so sorry I was sleep when you called". I say ok well I have your quote and it's going to be $168 for 50 cupcakes with fondant letters and numbers on top. She's like wait I thought the letter was going to be flat on the cupcake. I'm like that can happen but it's still fondant. She's like no I want the icing. So I'm guess she wants me to pipe the letters and numbers on but how does she want them to be silver, gold and shiny? So I say don't worry I have it under control. I asked her if she could meet my husband on the train or in front of the job. She says that she lives kind of far from the job and she has running around to do that day. I told her that she has three options "Meet my husband at the job before he starts work or during one of his breaks, meet him at the train station, pay a delivery fee for me to take 3 hours out of my schedule to bring them to her house." She is so distraught about all of this. I tell her you know what don't worry I will ask my husband to leave early and bring them to your house. she is super grateful. So I asked how is she going to pay bc she hasn't put down anything yet. She she said she would come to the job and give him money ( I had just told her that he is off for the entire week)and give him the rest when he brings the cupcakes. Usually I would say no but since he works with her I said ok. What should I do if I don't see a customer before their order to have them pay? I then made the hugest mistake and asked if she wanted any filling in her yellow cupcakes. She was so lost!!! I explained what filling was and had to tell her like a Hostos cupcake has the white cream I have the cream or fruit. She then decides on pineapple but she was so lost. I'm so worried about this order and still don't have an idea of what she wants!!! Did I make a mistake taking this order? How do I make this icing flat with a shiny letter? Help!!! I'm sure glad I charged her what I did bc it's a PITA fee added on. Am I wrong for being a little annoyed?
