If she was your friend she wouldn't expect or ask for it for free. Heck my mom even paid me for my sister's wedding cake, just not the $200 delivery charge. Tell her to get lost.

I like this! Maybe even say a "PRE-PAID customer".

But you have to remember this when that weekend comes along, 'cuz she may try to trip you up and ask how that wedding cake it going. It's one thing when you tell a little white lie to someone you'll probably never see again, but another when you work with the person.

Good luck!

Seriously!?!? A "free" cake for her = a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of stress for you.

What an idiot! Of course you're not going to make her a wedding cake for free.

Rule of thumb - if you ask to make the cake, you make it for free.
If someone else asks you to make the cake, they pay for it!

I think that is a good rule of thumb...you ask, you pay. I offer, it's free.
