Wow. I can't believe how petty this lady is.

I think most of us wish we could stay home when we're sick, but unfortunately, especially these days - for most that's not a choice. As long as you're careful and use your head, I think it's fine.

I have to have unplanned surgery tomorrow, and I had a wedding cake order for this weekend. I was sick, but I figured I would do the order whether it killed me! Seriously, though. It can be hard!

I think she meant that the fondant was melting and oozing, though. That's happened to me, but it definitely was because I iced my cake in cream cheese icing - at least I think that is what it was. I ...
