When you're at the party you could say to the SIL, after your friend introduces you and is still standing right there, "Oh, so you're (psycho babe), I got your voice mail, and I'm sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner, but I was busy with *friend's* cake. I wanted to make sure that it was moist and beautiful for her party, and I guess I lost track of the time. She will then know that your friend knows all about it (especially if your friend can't keep the grin off her face). I wish we could all crash the party just to see this chick! Definitely post pictures of the cake. And ask your friend to take a picture of the cake from her SIL's party and post that, too, if you can!

Aaaaggg....I can't hardly STAND it to wait to see what that snooty little uppity silicone-valley-high-falootin's response is going to be.
On another note, I really do feel sorry for the 2 girls involved. The "poor" cousin always feeling like she's standing in the "rich" cousin's shadow because her mother can't just have a NORMAL birthday party for her.
That's just really sad. And I mean that in all honesty.
Ya know, that lady must really have some serious self-esteem issues! Being so self-absorbed makes me really wonder about why she always has to one-up the lady.
I wonder if your friend's DD is really cute, talented, popular, brainy, etc.... and that's why this lady has such a problem because perhaps her own daughter is just "normal".
(sorry for the psycho-babble, I've been without a cake for far too long! )

Too funny Ironbaker!! I've been following this thread from the beginning and just got up and found your post. Thanks for the early morning laugh!
Like everyone else, I can't wait to see a picture of the cake, CakeDiva. I hope your friend is able to take a picture of the other cake as well.
What an entertaining thread!

I don't EVEN want to know what's dangling from that PMS emoticon's mouth. ACK!!
I am sure the PITA's DD is at a point now that she would be willing to gush about how awesome, beautiful, moist and perfect her cousin's cake was, then ask mommy dearest why she didn't book you for her decorator? Unless this 16 year old is exactly like her mother - but chances are she really would do anything to rebel against such insanity now! LOL! Get those cousins working together - too funny!

Personally I don't think I would get in this woman's pocket. She doesn't sound like somebody I would want to associate with. I can only see the demands getting worse in the future, and she sounds like the type that will make it hard for you if you decide to cut ties at some point.
Think about it before you do this. If people find out her game, you might start losing business if word gets around.

You have got to ask the sil if you can do a bigger and better cake than requested. That would be the best to see the other lady's face when she sees it. hehehe

Of course you want to be professional, but isn't it fun to dream of revenge? Just make sure you do an awesome cake for you friends daughter and the revenge will take care of itself! I can't wait to see your cake!

This is the funniest story. The competitive spirit will do it every time. "If I can't be like you then I will try to be better than you".
Sounds like all the money in the world still is not keeping her from being jealous of your friend.
This SIL needs to see a psychiatrist for self worth issues.
Unfortunately her daughter is caught in the middle of it and hopefully the daughter doesn't turn out like her mother. However, as told to me by my Granny “it takes all kinds”.
Can't wait to see your cake, and see if your friend can get a pic of what she ordered from "the other decorator".
