OK, I must be in a mood today, because this is my second vent! Laughing

I just got a call from a lady who wanted a cake and she told me what she wanted, etc. The cake is for the end of July. She said "Is there any way you could make the cake now, and then let us come see it so we know what we will be ordering? We want to know exactly what it will look like."

Is she insane? Laughing
No! I am SO not making you two cakes for the price of one, just so you can SEE it. What is wrong with people?

Stepping away from the computer now... Embarassed

I tell you, sometimes I think the problem is people are not even thinking, the nerve to ask for something like that it just blows my mind

I would tell her, sure, and I will just stick it in my freezer until you are ready for it to be delivered.

you must not have the magic button on your oven that says pop one out for free? Nothing actually amazes me anymore...I had a lady order a cake last week, she called me the week before that to order and the comment she gave me (which I thought was the best) I got your name from a friend and you were highly recommended....I want to order a cake, but don't want to spend a lot of money, even though I am sure your cakes are worth it, I would really rather put the money into the decorations....are you crazy....I don't know about you guys but when I go to a party I am looking for food to eat, not balloons and streamers....guess maybe that is why I am not skinny been eating the food all this time instead of the decorations!!! So I felt like telling her you would rather have everyone looking at some crappy decorations, rather than making them happy with cake? Whatever I am just the baker right? Sorry to vent now back on topic...I would give her a sketch and tell her this is what it will look like, and if some reason she doesn't have faith in you offer to make a small...I mean tiny version of the cake for a fee of course...If there is more money involved I am sure her answer will be no..most people are cheap and they are always the biggest pains!!! Good luck!

Thanks summernoelle! Of course you can copy it! I got the idea from a couple cakes on here! I actually just had a lady see it on facebook and she asked if I could make it for her this weekend... pretty short notice!

Well, I just had my laugh for the day!!! I can't believe some people.
I was going to be a smart .... and say: What's the matter haven't you ever heard of "good customer service?" but, I just got done baking several cakes and am too tired to find that funny. Wink
