I wouldn't even be suprised if this guy sold your cake as his, to his friends.
You know, that is exactly what I was thinking. I still can't figure out why he was so last minute with the cake anyway? That makes no sense. Who gets a wedding or commitment cake in 24 hours?
butterwench, what if he took your initial price and used that as HIS price to the couple, then got you to barter down so he could pay his $250 or $300 and deliver the cake to receive $500, pocketing the remainder after his debt to you? He sounds like a scoundrel... sold your cake as his own. Do you know these guys who the cake was for? Anyway you could find out, "hey who did you wedding cake, I heard it was lovely?" just a thought!
This guy is a creep with a capital "C"!!!
Please, for the love of God, DO NOT let this guy get away with YOUR money!!! I know you have learned a valuable lesson, but that doesn't mean you should just forget about getting the rest of the money from him. Foxymamma is right---call him at work, and if that doesn't work, take his slimey behind to small claims court. Do it for your CC family!
This guy doesn't keep a job long enough to find him, lol
He told me that he's now the Director of Ops for Spirit Airlines, but I don't believe him
It's going to cost me more in aggravation to persue him for the money than it's worth.
If he sold the cake, or fell off the earth with it, I did the best I could do with the time I had and I can say it was lovely and made with a lot of love.
It was my first wedding cake at my new shop so I jumped a little at the ( hahah who are we kidding!! I jumped a lot!) chance to make it.
So, I shared with you guys because I paid 100 dollars to learn this, you guys got it from me for free.
Giggle!
This person is not a friend, a friend is someone special who we can always count on to be there for us & certainly would never dream of behaving like he did, a friend is someone who appreciates us & loves & values us. He is just another aquaintance & a very selfish one at that.

Hey, I'll pay ya a dollar for it! What's your fax number?
Oh shoot! I only have a five. Will you fax me back four ones?
TBW,
Where is your shop? If it is in driving distance from Baltimore, I would be more than happy to donate $100 of labor scrubbing pans, baking, or mixing BC for ya!
Ma'am, the lesson you learned is worth the $100 and more. Sad but true. But make sure you learn the right lesson! The real lesson is not that you cannot do business with friends...just work to know who your REAL friends are! Users are losers!
Best of luck.
