Hi all! I'm so excited...I have to share!
I rec'd an order last week....this is the first referral type order...all others are usually friends/family/neighbors etc..
So the cakes were due Sat @ 11 am....the barbie cake (brianna) was for her daughters bday on Sat. The Baby cake (retro baby) was for the baby shower the next day. So...I dropped them off....she loved how they looked. And that's all I knew
She calls me this morning....she says:
"Hi Jennifer? This is Julie.....do you have a minute?"
"I just thought you should know something about your cakes..."
* AT THIS POINT I WAS FREAKING OUT THAT SOMETHING WENT WRONG BECAUSE OF THE TONE OF HER VOICE!*
She goes on to say "They were a smash hit, everyone loved them and wanted to know where I got them. there wasn't a single piece left over from either cake"....as a matter of fact there were 5 more people at the baby shower than expected and the lady who ordered it didn't even get a piece! But she said that was fine (I offered in advance to make cupcakes too just in case)
I told her not to lose my # she said"oh definitely not....you are very talented...you should be proud of yourself!" I so love that woman!
Anyway....we don't always get to hear such awesome feedback...I was excited and thought you guys would enjoy the story!
That is SO awesome! It's always great to hear compliments like that, especially after all the work that goes into the cake.
Congratulations!
That is wonderful!! What a great confidence booster, 'huh?!! Hopefully many more orders will follow in the future!! So happy for you
WooHoo! Way to go! That must be such a good feeling! Get ready, you will probably get at least a few orders, and that leads to a few more, and so on and so on!
It makes my day when a customer calls (especially a new customer) and says "the cake was the hit of the party!! " I have one customer who tells me everyone asks off the bat.. "Is that a Ginny cake?".
Gives me the "warm fuzzies" I hope you get many more phone calls just like this one!!!!!! WTG
I'm so happy for your I'm getting teary-eyed! What a great weekend for you! Give yourself a big pat on the back, you're on your way!
thanx guys! It's just so exciting when someone who doesn't 'have to' be nice to you is so positive lol! I just thought it was very uplifting....I know we're all going to be getting lots of calls like this in the future right Thanx for all your encouragement.
Great job!!!! Im soo excited for you. Your cakes are always perfection. lol Seriously though your cakes are great.
Woooo Hoooo For You Edcjenv,
I am sooooo Tickled for you & I know just how you feel, I got that call Last night at 9:30. when I saw the number and looked at the clock, cause the party was at 8:00 she was like everyone LOVED it, Not one piece left and Everyone wants your number. & It was her 1st time to order from me. But it just made my night that she called to Thank Me Again.. I was tickled that I could help her make her daughters day more special. Guess where she served it? Church.. after the service she had her daughter's b-day party. it was a Hit she said =0) sorry I didnt mean to ramble I am Really HAPPY for you Girl!!!!!
~Sweet~=0)~
congrats it's so nice when someone calls with a positive note to often in life we complain and forget to compliment.
That's great! I've started asking for feedback. I just hate not knowing especially if it's a large or tiered cake!
Congratulations!

One more reason to make sure your phone number is ALWAYS on the box you deliver those cakes in, Ladies!! Good for you on some well deserved recognition!
Congratulations It's always wonderful to hear positive feedback .. I feel it something we all need to hear
They were some very pretty cakes you made. I can see why she called with the nice comments!
I'm happy for you too.... it's not every day you get a good solid compliment like that one...
Way to go girl...
