Okay, so I am really new to this cake decorating thing. I just delivered my first paid order from somebody other than family. So thank goodness its just a CCC, right? Easy first order gets delivered, and the lady that place the order seems thrilled! I'm like thank goodness, as she didn't give me anything to go on (colors, etc.) So I'm nervous anyway because this is my "creation".

Okay, so she's happy, so happy that she gives me a $5 tip. So I'm thinking this is great! And so the lady is like, isn't this great, to another lady at the party. And she was like "they're just cupcakes right?" and rolled her eyes.

I was like, "well I'd like to think they're a little more than just cupcakes." And the lady that placed the order kept saying how cute and neat it was, but this mean lady kept saying "well they're just cupcakes."

Burst my bubble!! I spent 4hrs making "just cupcakes"!

Thanks for listening!

Well, that's an awesome CCC and it's NOT just cupcakes! Don't pay any heed to that negative woman. Take pride in your work! I love the borders and your plaque!

These are not just cupcakes! You did a great job!!! That lady is just jealous because she has probably never made "just" anything.

Don't Sweat it. She was probably jealous because she knew she could never do something like that. Looks great to me. Good Job!!

that is a LOT more than just cupcakes. I think you did an awesome job! That lady was just jealous of your talent! =0) At least the person who paid for them loved them!

I have to say that your cupcake cake looks beautiful!!! That mean lady must need glasses!!!

Thanks guys! Thanks for looking and letting me vent.

Those "just cupcakes" look Just Awesome!! Great job on the CCC. I love the colors and the border. Don't let someone else's bad day ruin yours. You did a great job and should be very proud of your creation!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say, and I think that lady is BLIND! That is one great CCC!

That looks awesome! Don't worry about the meanies out there. Pure jealousy.

I probably would have come back with something smartalecky so you did great to hold your tongue-I am sure her rudeness took you by surprise. Let her "just" all she wants-your CCC looks amazing and she can just choke on her portion! (NOT LITERALLY) I am sure she was seething inside wanting to be able to even consider doing something like that. Your customer is sure to be a repeat so take pride in that-you earned every bit of it!!

Your CCC is gorgeous and as for Miss Negativity she is just a hater and every bit of negative energy she puts into this universe will come back to her. So stay positive and keep making beautiful cakes and making people happy!!

Elliot, you can't please everyone all of the time, BUT I have to say..that "negative" woman should have been SLAPPED. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a violent person, but come on...I don't believe she bothered to make "JUST CUPCAKES" for her friends daughter..so she has NO ROOM to talk. I think we all agree here that your creation was NOT "just cupcakes". The CCC looks gorgeous, and you have all the "positive reinforcement" that you need on this board,and from your customer that the cake looks awesome so don't let one bad apple spoil your day.


P.S> If ya' want me to ruff her up just let me know..lol

You can bake me "just cupcakes" anytime! They are beautiful! Like some of the others said, she was probably jealous, because she couldn't do it. Some people are such snots.(for lack of a nicer word). You did Great!

Your design is lovely! I have just decided that there are people in this world that are miserable with themselves, and the only way they can make themselves feel better is to try and make someone else feel bad. YOU know and the lady who ordered the cake knows that it is beautiful. Great job!!

You did a wonderful job. Some people are just hateful by nature. Don't take it personally.

I love the colors you used and the overall design is just darling. I bet the birthday girl loved it too!!

Your "just cupcakes" cake looks really good! I'm thinking she hasn't decorated anything in her life or she'd know how difficult cupcakes can be.

She reminds me of someone I know who can't stand for anyone else to get any sort of attention. If someone gets a compliment she'll throw an insult in there to take away from the positive attention that the other person is getting.

yeah i agree shes JUST JEALOUS ..........Keep up the good work .....take your tip and buy something fun for your next cake.........

Who knows, maybe once the woman who was pleased with them got her "friend" inside, she may have told her to put a sock in it. She might have been biting her tongue in front of you. I hope when I start making "just cupcakes" they come out half as gorgeous as yours!! Great job!!

Your just cupcakes are so awesome that I had to put it in my saved folder!!! It is beautiful!!!!

She's jealous and doesn't like that you are getting attention for your "just cupcakes"!

I think it's WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you dare let it bother you even for a minute!
Your work is beautiful! I would put the comments from the people at CC.( who know what they are talking about) up against a not to bright snob any day of the week!!

Sorry about that but I just can't stand it when people do that.

Great job. I love it....

On a positive note Just Cupcakes would be a great name for a cupcake business though.

Absolutley adorable cupcakes! There is always people like that, best way to deal with it is...in from one ear and out from the other. Keep up your great work!

I have yet to do a CCC. Yours is gorgeous!

Its quite possible that remark had less to do with you and more to belittle the host who was obviously more then impressed with your cake. Very well could have been the host's SIL or something to that effect who felt the need to put down anything the host is proud of.(and you have to invite them, lest you upset the inlaws!! Otherwise I would think no one would willingly invite someone that rude!)
I can't believe someone would be so incredibly rude and tactless. Your cupcakes are gorgeous..I actually thought the writing on the cake was a graphic of your business name(like overlayed onto the picture)...until I read it and realized that it was actually on the cake! .


Why would anyone insult the cake at a celebration, INFRONT of the host and the person who made it no less? Sounds like a very petty bitter person, and obviously had no regards for your feelings or anyone elses for that matter. She sounds like one of those people who it wouldn't have mattered if you had a 5 tiered cake edged in gold she would have said it sloped to the right, lol. No "just" cupcake for her!!!!

A bit of a funny story:

On Valentines day, I made a cake to bring to my mom's work at a school bus company(and I had to take it on the transit bus since I don't drive yet!). Well everyone was digging into the cake, and mom cut herself a slice, and we went upstairs into her office. I was standing there talking to her while she ate and one of her co-workers popped in to chat for a second. She pointed to her slice of cake and said, "you should get yourself some cake!" and he shook his head and said, ugh no way that stuff is too sweet, chinese cake is much much better then that stuff, you should really try it." Well it didn't really bother me, but my Mom must have taken exception because she smiled and said, " This is my daughter, she made the cake". Well he just about choked on his tongue and was apologizing. I had to stop myself from laughing. I just said, "hey thats okay" I didn't think to be offended because he just thought cakes in general were too sweet, I just thought it was funny because it never occured to him that since I never come to her work, that I was the one that had brought the cake, lol.

Your CCC is beautiful - there is nothing "just" about it. The lady in question was probably trying to rattle the cage of the lady who bought it - I have a "friend" who does things like that. Please don't think another thought about it - you did a GREAT job!

Tracey

can that bimbo do "just cupcakes"? as well as you can? ... I thought your design was beautiful ... be proud of your work ... forget her!!!!

I didn't read all the posts in regards to your cupcakes (since there are so many), so forgive me if I'm repeating, but I'm wondering just how you did your lettering? It's fantastic! And, yes, I think your CC looks fabulous! Don't be hurt by her comment. Always remember, some people never really leave Jr. High!
