So at this point...I'd start having some fun with it
Call her back, and treat her like the request was a really good joke, haha, you got me...now what did you REALLY want? Because if she really DOES want you to do the cake, she needs to book now since you're getting booked up for that weekend. (And did you mention the 20% PITA surcharge?)

WHAT!!!!!!!
Like you'd be making the biggest freakin' mistake in the world if you didn't do her cake. Like you would miss out on other clients and other opportunities to create grander cakes! The nerve of that woman! You should just return her call and tell her that you have other orders pending and you would like to know if SHE!!!!! would like YOU to do the cake. She keeps sitting on the fence! She either wants you to do it or not!!!! Is she waiting for you to bow down to her because HER order is going to make you FAMOUS?!?!?!? "Hello honey, I'm already famous!" (That's you speaking of course!)

The only time I have done one cake "exclusively" will be for my friend's wedding in july. He did my web page for free and put alot of time and effort into it. So not only is it exclusive, it's free too!

Morselsbymark....I clicked on your web site....I couldn't get past the first page. I could've just licked the chocolate cascade right from the computer screen! That looked delicious!

I think your reply is right on... nip this one in the bud! Do you really want to be her exclusive cake decorator?! ...there's a lot more business out there! ....don't waste your time!

Well it sure didn't make mine! I thought the rules said NO foul language. I don't appreciate it at all. This is not the 1st time I've seen you say such things.

Yeah, can you tell I've spent ALOT of years working in the hospitality industry?
If folks are nice, I'll bend over backwards for them. If they're unreasonable, I'm all for "re-educating" them.
The "Golden Age of Servants" ended when Queen Victoria died, folks!
Aw kakeladi, you poor little thing. Bless your heart, I'll try to keep it squeaky clean from now on, just for you. It's just not right that you have to cover your eyes when you come to certain posts now, is it.

ditto to the
aaaaaaaaaand... I'm glad that you aren't going to do this cake.. what a cow!!
I am, hunny, I am. Sigh.... some folks are jes' so dadburned unappreciative of humor.......
Oy..... sorry. I didn't mean to write dadburned seein' as it is so foul an' all. I'll have to check my thesaurus an' git back wit' you later.
I did go back and check all my posts (all 79 of them), and found that I did actually write @$$ (just like that, too, an asperand and two dollar signs) in two other postings so I guess that it is true, after all. I am guilty of having a potty-mouth.

OMG talk about peeing in your pants....THat is too funny, gotta start using that...especially since DH wears lots of hats... HA HA HA HA HA HA
I am not a professional baker I just do it for fun at home, but for those of you that are professional bakers, who really is dying to do a cake? Yeah its work and its income, but comon....that's a little off the chart..tell her to have the other baker do the cake..you are doing another sweet 16 cake.and that person is willing to pay double of what she is paying....ha ha ha ha ha h
