Customer called last night wanting to order a cake for the end of the month, no problem. . .then he asks if I can do one for Friday AM, ARGH . He said he has been in the hospital (not sure what for), and just went back to work this week. He said all of his co workers have been super supportive and very nice and he wanted to get them a cake to say thanks. I am totally drawing a blank on this. He doesn't need anything big. Probably about an 8", but being that he wants to get another cake at the end of the month, I'm worried if I don't do a good job on this one, he may not get the other one, so I really want to do a good job on this cake. Any ideas????

I think first I would ask how many servings....... saying "nothing big" would mean different things to different people....

yeah, nothing big to some might mean a sheet cake with a big "Thanks for your support" written on top and no big time decorations !!!!

He just meant it only needed to feed about 15 people

Why not make a quarter sheet cake? It will give you plenty of space for a "Thank you for your support" message. I can guarantee people will finish off the cake while they are eating removing the leftover icing on the edge of the board. LOL!

Oophs! I mean while they are removing and eating the leftover icing on the edge of the cakeboard.Sorry!
