It's worth WAY more than $20! Unbelievable. You should have told her "If Wal-Mart did what I do, they'd charge a H-E-double hockeysticks lot more than that!"

Great cake. $60.00 is not enough. That barely covers the cost of the supplies.

this happened to me yesterday with the two tier disco ball cake. it was a for friends mother and her mum asked me to do her cake so i said yes thinking that obviously having seen the website etc she was placing a proper order - i never even see her mum or anything, its not like we're close!! so i get this gift token in the post for £30 sterling "to cover my ingredients" and im so cross - how can i put a gift token through my books and into the Bank?? to make things worse, i mentioned this casually to my friend that her mum had given me the token thinking that when she picked up the cake my friend would ask me how much else she owed me.....picked the cake up yesteday and never offered a penny!!

6 hours work, about £20 work of ingredients - so i did that cake for about £10 - never mix business with friends icon_sad.gif

ps your cake is amazing - that is total cheek offering you 20 for all those hours of work icon_sad.gif
