We want a killer cake for our wedding. But I will not pay the fancy prices some of the cake people are charging nowadays. Times are tough, so be sure to make your quote count!

I am a former pastry chef and know what it takes to pull off a great wedding cake. But my fiancee won't allow me to make our cake. This is where you come in...

There are a lot of great pastry people who are out of work right now, and a lot of other excellent and talented "cake people" who are entirely capable of pulling this off.

Please give me some idea of the types of cakes you've done in the past, along with pricing, your web site, photo portfolio of some of your creations, and anything else you believe is relevant.

We are extremely well-connected here in Honolulu and if you do a great job, we will make sure you get a lot of business...

Mahalo for your time... we'll stand by to hear from you...

The funny thing is, they will probably get a lot of responses.

At least they're not looking for cake for 200 for $50. I've seen some people on the local Craigslist looking for deals like that.

With twitter, facebook, myspace etc etc...everyone is well connected..and if they're a former pastry chef then they know why the prices are the way they are. She's definitely asking for a cake wreck lol.

If she has such great connections & is a former pastry chef, then shouldn't she have a few people in mind she wants to do her cake? I know if I had those connections, I would not be looking on craigslist for someone to make my wedding cake, I would be on the phone with my supposed connections.

Sounds like some kind of a set up to me..

HD maybe?

what a joke...

Yeah right! :p

That's just low class in so many ways.

Hmmmm, a pastry chef with a fiance that won't let her make her own cake - is she truly a pastry chef or a wannabe?

Possibly a joke, either way an embarassment to such a lovely state.

That's kind of a slap in the face to all pastry chefs maybe thats why her friends want help her and she has to post on Craigslist I'm not even a pastry chef and find it offensive I just do this as a hobby

Did anyone catch where it said "Pay based on a n incredibly delicious outcome."??? Does that mean you won't get paid until AFTER the cake is eaten? Sounds like a scam to me.

Too funny - I'm decidedly NOT a professional, but the first thing my boyfriend did when we started talking about a wedding is volunteer me to make the cake (I vetoed that LOL)

At BEST, I may make some fancy schmancy cookies for party favors, but I'm not going to guarantee that will happen.

I would have had to respond by asking her on what planet did she think she was from and if times are so tough for everyone, does she not think times are tough for the cake decorators too? Give me a break. She wants a lot of something for nothing and it's an insult that she would think she's doing a FAVOR for the person who makes her over-indulgent dream cake for her "fairy-tale dream" wedding.... UGH, some PEOPLE! Makes you want to smack them.

I'm with everyone else...pastry chef my eye. If she was a pastry chef she would KNOW people who would perhaps swap cakes with her..."you make my cake I'll make yours" kinda thing.

What a load of horse poo - My horse poos out more poop than you can imagine...I think she has been eating way too much alfalfa.

I do not believe she is a pastry chef. She just can not be one. That just do not make sense. She will pay someone little to nothing yet she suppose to know what it takes to make a cake and she has all these connections. Why not go to her connection instead of the craiglist.

Maybe the "payment based on delicious outcome" is the evolution of pricing. Weigh the cake before serving and weigh the uneaten portions that are returned, and payment is based on the difference -- 26 pounds of cake eaten at $10 a pound is $260.

Well, I can imagine not doing it because of the stress level and MYSELF deciding not to do it. Not only will it be your own cake, I can only imagine a wedding brings quite some stress about other factors.

But when your fiance says not to do it, something is off, lol!

Some folks just don't know when to not embarrass themselves.

Sounds like the beginnings of a wonderful marriage - not being "allowed" to do something by her future spouse...wow. And she's still marrying him.

Phew!

Lol. That sounds so gross!
