I got my very first request for advice/instructions on how to make one of my cakes. I was so proud!

I excitedly gave advice - so happy! Somebody liked one of MY cakes so much they wanted help from ME! I never thought that would happen!

After that? NOTHING! No 'thank you', no pic of the finished product, they didn't even leave a comment for me on the cake they liked!

Phooey! What a way to ruin my first proud cake moment.

Don't let rudness ruin your proud moment, sometimes people just don't think about saying thank you and please.

1st --- feel happy someone asked.

and

2nd -- re: no response

I feel for you as in "join the club"

Yes, it hurts!

It frustrates!

Makes me, and I bet you too, want to do the "I'm taking MY ball and going home! ::stick out tongue!!!:: NAH!"

despite all who have thanked me, it DOES hurt when the others I have helped don't. countless posts where I've given assistance and as you say..NO response at all.

Chin up -- keep helping. There ARE those who are grateful and pooey on the rest of them!

I just looked at your cakes (which are very pretty) to make sure that It wasn't me . I think sometimes people just get wrapped up in things. Don't take it personal... I'm sure it was just an oversite.

Thanks for listening, I feel better now!

Everyone everywhere feels unappreciated sometimes. Heck, I'm a mom, I'm used to it!

That's awesome that someone asked you....and yes, stinky that they didn't say thanks!!!

AND...as an aside.....DOUG...YOU ROCK.....i'll say THANK YOU for everyone who hasn't.....i've used your templates too many times to count already!!!! THANKS DOUG!!!!

Please dont take it personal. I recently did this to someone, but not on purpose. I've been making cakes for friends and family so I havent made much money. I'm trying to let my tiny business pay for itself which means I have not invested in a digital camera yet. I've borroed my mom's a lot, but sometimes she's using it.

I asked for help on a cake, then a friend took the picture for me but she had computer problems for months and could not get the picture to me until yesterday. I just wrote my helpful person to say thanks and to show her the picture, but then the picutre was too large to upload.

I am sure there was a reason. Maybe the person decided it was too difficult of their customer changed their mind.

As my Grandmama always said:
There never is an adequate excuse for poor manners!

I say Ditto

Frostbite Falls! Is there really a place named that? I remember Rocky & Bullwinkle going to Frostbite Falls. I love it!

Sorry for your disappointment. I looked at your cakes...they're beautiful! Love the pillar candles. What a unique idea!

It happened to me too a few times, like Doug said it hurts.
But at some point you will help someone who deserves it and they will be grateful to you, and it will all be worth it!
