Your cake is stunning. Flawless. Karma will deal with this woman and her mother!
I'm no lawyer, but my guess is that she will not go to jail for this. (Unless she has made a habit of doing deceitful, underhanded, and illegal things.) People have done much worse things and not served time. I'd like to see her have to make restitution, and pay damages and a stiff penalty. BIG bucks. She might understand that.
And no cake for her EVER.
Wow she got her's in the end. Ha I would so love to see a picture of her dropdead gorgous walmart cakes
. Your cake was absolutly beautiful and a steal at the price you had given her. She didn't deserve your beatuiful creation. I know the people at church will be more than happy and apprecative of all the time and hard work you put into this cake.she didn't get "hers" yet... she will when her happy a** lands in jail and she has to pay court costs and restitution
I did me she will get hers in the end but as apparently my brain is moving faster than my fingers today lol.
For amusements sake here's what I imagine the reception ended up like:
Thanks ya'll for comin to my weddin. Walmart like totally saved my special day by coming through with cake after this horrendously awful baker REFUSED to deliver my cake today! I know! What a horrible woman! I even emailed her to triple check all the details, but for some reason she got some bug up her bum about money. Weddings are about LOVE ya'll!! But special shout out to Walmart that like totally rescued me. Oh, and pay no mind if it tastes a little cold...they said they had to go back into the freezer to find something at the last minute. And aren't the bunnies a nice touch seeing as it's Easter this weekend as well?
Again...my imaginative interpretation...don't flame me!

hee hee
I think she's at her friend's wedding today. (The woman she made cake #2 for yesterday.)
dsevans - where are you???? Please please PLEASE tell us what has happened! I simply cannot wait till monday.
I was just thinking the same thing. How come she's not glued to her computer like we are???
She's at her friend's wedding today......remember she was finishing up the cake for that at home last night 
"Just think if all her vendors used your bank, her wedding may have looked something like this:
*Her dress shop comes in and repossesing her dress....lol...
*The florist reclaiming their flowers.....and....
*The jilted organist would play Whatcha Gonna Do. "COPS theme song" as she walked down the isle in a borrowed slip, holding a weed the MOB picked for her, and eating her Walmart cake."
The I Love Lucy episode came to mind..when Lucy didn't pay the bills for the play for the womans club..the repossers were ripping the clothes off of her and Ethel...

She's probably at her friends wedding.
Althought how in the world she can be off enjoying herself and relaxing with family and friends when she KNOWS we're all over here on pins and needles is TOTALLY beyond me! Geesh! SOME people are so inconsiderate!!

ITA! I'm in favor of a road trip today. We could all go sit on her doorstep and wait for her to get back so we can get the rest of the story!
...so bride does not call me back but MOB calls and is completely irrate and tells me " I cannot believe you are withhoding my daughters cake on the most important day of her life, how dare you, do you not have aheart" me"of course I have a heart, but i also have a mortgage payment and a kid to feed, I am sorry but I cannot allow someone to take advantage of me and try to get a cake without paying in full for it."
I went on to explain that there is still time for them to have their cake all they have to do is pay the venue rep the cash amount owed on the cake. MOB does not like this and says that it is ridiculous to have to pay $1100 for a wedding cake and that is why her daughter stopped payment on the check. I told MOB that for 350 people $1100 was not outrageous but cheaper than she would have gotten her cake anywhere else. ( this comes out to roughly 3.15 a serving and the cake is detailed and has tonns of sugarpaste flowers)
So after many explicits she says they will just take their deposit back and I can keep my F'N cake.
This is the part that REALLY gets me -- where the MOB says "it is ridiculous to have to pay $1100 for a wedding cake and "that" is why her daughter stopped payment on the check." Uh, HELLLOOOOO, she had like PLENTY of time to sign with someone else for a cheaper cake... 
Not to mention she SIGNED A CONTRACT and worked all the details out for THAT CAKE at THAT PRICE!! 
Damn, this should be interesting.
Cash only today, right?
Well Leah, I'd say after 37 pages of "And on goes the Cakes of Our Lives" that you had the understatement of the year!!
ONE of the reasons she felt she could do this in the first place is all these people around her ready to mop up her messes! Just like the MOG offering to pay the difference in what she owed---right there is a perfect example of what I mean.
This is what is wrong with bridezillas in the first place. People putting them up on their little pedestals and treating them like queens. It's more than I can take.
My contracts say all payments due 14 business days before the date of the wedding, checks must be cleared by then through both banks, no refunds at all past that date.
These people just kill me. I hope someone choked on a flour ball from the crappy W-mart cakes too. 
Just sayin'.
O.k. you guys..... I'm waiting for a very important email and my inbox is loaded with topic reply notifications!!!

I call this "Reality TV Syndrome"--rewarding really bad behavior. Sickening, isn't it?
So, I had the laptop in bed with me and fell asleep reading this post last night...lol
I am really proud of the way you handled this whole ordeal. Mean people suck.

I had forgotten about the second wedding, but still... I am trying to watch Sleepless in Seattle, but just have to check back here every few minutes to see if anything new has happened. (This is were someone is supposed to say 'Get a life!')
The road trip sounds like a great idea, I'm in, though it might take a while for me to get there. So just go ahead, i'll catch up with you.
I got stiffed on a $35.00 birthday cake that a co-worker ordered, and I was furious! Can't even imagine spending all of that time and effort and having this happen. You should call the local newspaper & news stations and tell them this story! Bet they would love to hear about a bridezilla trying to rip people off. Hope your church enjoys the cake! (I would want to show up at the church and threaten to throw the top layer at the bride!)
I don't usually think this way, but part of me is dying to see an update saying that the Groom decided to call off the wedding over this as he didn't want to start married life with a lawsuit and having his name dragged through the mud because his wife wanted to commit fraud. At least his Mum is on side and I have a feeling she won't let the MOB and Bride get away with claiming to be the victim on the night!
I was thinking something similar -- when the preacher man gets to the part about "Does anyone know why these two should not be joined?" how on earth is the groom's mom going to stay still in her seat and not jump up and down saying "I do, I do!!"
And what about during the preachers little service and he starts to talk about "HONESTY" etc. To be that bride up there having to look her groom in the face after doing what she did. Im so with everyone here, I would love love love to be a fly on the wall, or on the bible during this time. LOL

Especially those of us who just happen to be celebrating a Birthday today I hope you made your cheesecake Birthday cake 
Im waiting on the venue to call her to tell her what happened during the reception when the bride her her lovely walmart sheet cakes. And maybe what the groom had to say,,and the MOG to the bride,,,etc.
I dont remember who said it,,,but this is definately a better cliff hanger than Y & R's cliff hanger on friday. LOL
I am so sorry you had to go through this. I think you handled yourself wonderfully, big Kudo's to the venue, and to your bank for notifing you in the first place. Your cake is absolutely beautiful, and will be very much enjoyed, Im sure.
Now, finish your friends cake, and dont let this bring you down for your friends wedding. You know you are totally appreciated by us here on the forum, and your true friends and fans.
(((((HUGS)))))
Ok, now back to waiting to hear the final of this story. Or , the 2nd chapter anyway. LOL
My husband is watching this on his computer as closely as I am on mine! He hasn't closed it out so he can go back and check it out every now and then!!
O.k. you guys..... I'm waiting for a very important email and my inbox is loaded with topic reply notifications!!!
That's right, inquiring minds want to know!!
My entire family is wishing we could have been at that wedding! I can't take all this waiting
