Let me get this out...I got a phone call yesterday from someone who asked me to make a cake for a co-worker.
Side note to say that the cake needs to be ready before 8 am on 11 April, so technically the cake has to be finished by tomorrow night.
Interesting thing, is that the person asking me to make the cake, also knows how to make cakes, but doesn't have the time.
I thought about it, and said okay since I had the time. I'm a bit miffed though b/c during the conversation I am told "Don't go to that great of detail, b/c I don't want my co-worker going around work saying look at the cake that ____ made".
I would hope that if somone asks me to make a cake, that they would not knowingly accept any compliments/assumptions that they made the cake, but would correct the issue by saying "Actually I didn't make the cake, a friend of mine made it".
I don't want to make a cake, and then someone else take the credit for it. At the same time, I want to deliver a decent cake. This just bugs me for some reason.
and dont forget to stick down a business card on the underside of the board and a couple under the cake, so they are revealed as the cake is served.
I agree with the other posts. Give it all you got. I would put a min of 5 cards on the board under the cake and 1 on the bottom. The bottom is to fool her into thinking there is only one card. 4 around the sides and one in the middle. I would love to see how she tries to cover all the cards. She will probably try to pass it off as hers.
Good luck with the cake.
Please update me about the cake. I saw the other the other thread. I just gotta know what happened. 
I don't get it, she wants you to make a C***Y looking cake so the recipient doesn't go around bragging about how great the cake looks? Because she doesn't want the credit to take any orders on this?
I don't get it, so she hires you? I wouldn't pull her cookies out of the fire.
It sounds like she has poor time management skills.
Okay - fess up - what is the "other thread" ElectricCook mentioned? 
I had one lady order her son's BD cake from me. In the process of getting all her info, she told me that she decorates cakes and usually did her children's cakes but didn't have time this year. I made the cake, delivered it and then thought..."I bet she tells everyone that she made it".
When the cake was brought out, someone said "Pam made that cake...I would know her cakes anywhere." So do a good job and people will notice YOUR technique. This was a few years ago and business has been growing ever since.

This was the other thread -in regard to the cake http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopicp-5886120-.html#5886120
So what happened was simply, I took the cake to her house, and I explain that b/c I didn't hear from her in time, some of the cake would look "storebought" - and I open up the box to show her, and all the sudden "Oh that's neat" 
I can't figure it out, one moment it's all "It must look homemade" then the next "oh how neat, blah blah" - so double minded -drives me nuts.
Oh and I don't have business cards, as this is more of a hobby, that hopefully one day might turn into a business.
