Wedding Coordinator Said My Cake Was Ugly!!!!!

That is a beautiful cake. You should have charged her much more than $150. You did a fantastic job! 
Oh...that must have been simply awful! 
Does that woman not have one professional bone in her body? I think I would have been just as shocked and hurt as you were.
Call the bride, get some reassurance that she loved the cake and it was just as she wanted. You did a beautiful job on that cake, very elegant. You should be proud no matter what that woman said or thought.
Kudos to you for keeping your cool. I know I sure would not have been able to. Especially since SHE was not the one the cake was for. I probably would have gently put the cake down (not wanting to mess up a materpiece like that with her face), and after a couple of minutes needed to be escorted from the building (possibly restrained). 
Anyways, don't let some "know nothing twit" like that ruin your day. You did an awsome job and should be proud. You handled it very professionally which is more than I can say for the wedding coordinator. As far as telling the bride. I would. If I were the bride, and someone that I was paying to help make my day wonderful said something so rude and uncalled for, I would definately want to know. Go ahead girl and let it all out!!
As a coordinator myself, I must say that her behavior was incredibly unprofessional. And yes, the bride should know about her behavior because she should not be recommended by this bride to anyone else.
If she were a real coordinator, she would not have had to ask you any questions about the cake. She would have known what the cake was supposed to look like, how many tiers it should be and where each rhinestone was supposed to be placed. As you said, you made the cake exactly as the bride and groom had approved, therefore, it was not the coordinator's place to say one word about it! Even if she didn't personally like it, the professional thing to do would have been to thank you for your time and delivery of the cake.
I personally think that the cake is beautiful! I was expecting to see some craziness by the title of your post. Don't let people like that get you down. There could be any number of reasons why she acted that way, we'll never know. But the number of referrals you get and a satisfied bride will let you know that you did your job. And I'm sure if the bride didn't like it, she would've contacted you.
Honey, my dh just said that the coordinator most obviously was a biotch........rofl......and he's right! We both agree that your cake IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! 
You did such a great job.....and she is totally an arse! 
I'm betting the coordinator had recommended someone else for the cake. Maybe a family member,, friend or a company that pays a finders fee. The bride didn't go with what she wanted and it p###ed her off. She couldn't say anything to the bride as she didn't want to loose the bride's business or possible referrals. Soooooo----you got the butt end of her anger!!!
Beautiful, beautiful cake. You did yourself proud.
Call the bride but do it with class. You want her referrals.

That's my train of thought. She missed out on some sort of fee by the bride choosing your cake. And your cake was probably even better than the cake she would have got from one of her vendors! You did a fine job! I'll be interested to hear from the bride and groom on this.
I wouldn't listen to the old bat! Your cake is gorgeous!!! Keep your chin up
I wish my cakes were that nice. She was probably upset because she had her own cake decorator that the bride didn't use so instead of respecting the bride's choice, she chose to be mean and rude. Don't let her get to you. I hope you know just how beautiful your cake is.
WOW!
Thanks everyone...you all are the best!!!
You all are probably correct to think she was just mad that the bride did not use "her cake" person......
Thanks so much for all the suport! I am still debating if I should take the high road, or if I should tell the bride. Just like some people have said here, I think the bride should know, but I do not want to come off as rude as this other chick????
I don't think it would come off as rude.
I would just tell the bride, This happened and I found it to be unprofessional and felt that since you're the one who was paying for her services, I felt you deserved to know.
Or you could just tell her and say, "I've been concerned since she said that that you didn't like your cake," and see what she says.
I think you cake is wonderful so ignore that crazy lady.
I would also try the I was worried because the coordinator didn't think it was what you wanted approach when the bride tells you it was perfect and asks why you can get into the story a bit more delicately and it comes across as less of a telling on type of thing and more of a story
The cake is gorgeous. I'm just reitterating what has been already said but I would contact the bride. give her a week or two then contact her as a follow up to find out if the cake was as she imagined and if she was happy with the quality of the cake. Just mention afterward that you were concerned when you delivered the cake because the coordinator expressed in a rude manner that she was not happy with it at all and you wanted to be sure that you created it the way the bride had wanted. I would be hurt too if I was pleased with what I had done and somone shot me down. Pick your head up. You should be very pleased with what you created.
What a mean thing to say. Maybe she had wanted the bride to choose someone else to do the cake...don't some WPs get a referral commission from some vendors? That wouldn't excuse the snide remark in any way...but maybe explain her attitude.
You did a fine job on that cake! I'm sure the bride was very pleased with it and doubly proud that she was able to get such a nice cake for an incredible price!
Chin up! Be proud of your work!
It is a BEAUTIFUL cake! Very impressing.
If I where You, I would write a complaint to the coordinators firm, telling them that I nearly went home with the cake instead of leaving it there.
Then she could try to coordinate her way out of that!
Even if she owns the business herself, I would still write the letter.
Thank God people like this are few and far between. She must be one miserable person to say something like that about something you worked so hard on. I think your cake is beautiful and if you don't mind I would love to use your rhinestone design on a future cake. I think the bride should know about the woman's unprofessional comments as I'm sure she would not want to recommend this woman or her company to any of her friends.
Then forget about it and move on to your next work of art!!
I mean really, your cake is exquisite. The wedding planner was obviously a moron.
She sounds like a pompous a** to me. Duff could of brought in a cake and she probably wouldn't of been happy with it.
Your cake is amazing, absolutely beautiful. I too wish I could bake one that nice.
Sending you a big (((hug))).
That's just mean! Your cake is not ugly. It is very pretty and a great price! I'm sure the Bride and Groom were happy. You should have reminded her that if you have nothing nice to say... don't say anything at all. Keep your spirits up, she probably a closest case wanna be cake decorating, in other words jelous.
Oh my gosh I can't believe someone would say something that cruel! That cake is absolutely beautiful and if she thinks otherwise she has a warped sense of beauty! I am going to comment on your cake right now and I hope that you get lots of comments on this cake because it deserves them!

I would comment on it exept its not in your pics! Please upload a picture!
I don't think it would come off as rude.

My sentiments exactly! The only thing I see wrong with this cake is that you, by all means, did not charge enough for it.
If all else fails, turn Indydebi loose on this coordinator!

.....
If she were a real coordinator, she would not have had to ask you any questions about the cake. She would have known what the cake was supposed to look like, how many tiers it should be and where each rhinestone was supposed to be placed.
My thoughts exactly. Struck me as the ugly step-sister handed a clipboard instead of a bridesmaid dress...
Ok...I do not claim to be Duff...But I do not charge like him either...I delivered this cake, which I was proud of and the wedding coordinatoor was soooooo rude! She asked in such a rude tone, "It that it? Is that the cake? Or is there more in the car? You didn't even bring a cake stand??"
I took a breath and as sweetly as I could explain that "the bride only paid $150 for the cake, and that those silver stands are $150 up...so no there was no stand...but I think she will love it. It is exactly what we talked about at the tasting."
She Replied and I quote" You get what you pay for!" and turned to a worker at the hall right in front of me and said, "that is one ugly cake, my 2 year old could have made a better looking one!"
I was so upset, I ran out and cryed the whole way home
Is it THAT bad?????
I could not get it to post but it is in my pics...the one with the gold bow and F scroll topper??? Sorry
Sounds like she was a bitter ol'lady sounding off her own insecurity's...Your cake is awesome..and I would have charged lots more...Don't let her get you down..I had a wedding coordinator snub one of my cakes one time and a few months later tried to hire me on full time...when I found out she was hell getting my money out of I never done another one for her again...I should have trusted my instincts the first time when she snubbed me..we live and learn,huh?
Chin up sweetie...don't let her discourage you, some people are just plain out rude,mean and cold hearted...just think, she has her own Karma for what she did to you to deal with now!!!
