I am still in shock about what happened today....
i have a bride that booked two wedding cakes. one for today for a traditional african wedding and one for sunday for an american wedding...
both at the same location....
i call all day to set up the delivery time. the machine tells me that they open at 2pm. i leave a message and noone returns call....i call again at 2pm again machine answers, i leave anothr message...nothing... i call again at 3 nothing. i figure i am just gonna travel over..
i arrive and everyone is setting up. there is no elevator so i have to carry this cake which is about 50lbs. (it was two suitcases stacked) up two flights of stairs... i walk in the room and i start setting out the cake. this lady says to me " finally the cake, we were wondering how long we were gonna have to wait for this cake" I said "well its 4pm, the event starts at 6 so there is plenty of time, beside i called all day and noone answered the phone...."
i put the cake out and set the beautiful figures that lynne (who is amazing) made for me on top of the suitcases....the top suitcase is set on an angle IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STACKED EVENLY... the bride was very specific abut the top suitcase being set sort of at a horizontal angle.
I am getting ready to leave and the same lady yells out "but thats not straight!!"
i look and think she is talking about the cake board so i am making sure it is straight and she stalks over and says "NO!! this is not straight!" she then proceeds to grab the top suitcase and try to pick it up and turn it so it is even with the bottom suitcase.!!! I am yelling "NO! the bride wants it that way. your breaking the whole cake, what are you doing...!!!!" she has both her hands on each sides on the top suitcase tryingto turn it but it is supported with dowels....
"the bride wants it like this?" she says.. i say yes DONT TOUCH IT!
two other people come over and i tell them, "noone touches the cake please make sure. this lady already tried to ruin it. ""
I was shaking!! even back in the car i couldnt stop shaking for almost 20 minutes... now i have to see these people again on sunday to deliver the other wedding cake... i hate to think what happened after i left...
Ill upload pics soon.
