Just got an email asking if I can make a "simple" one layer Hello Kitty cake for this Saturday! My site says I'm booked this month and this email makes it sound like no biggie.
I now know what people mean when they say that they hate the word "simple" when paired with the word "cake."
I got an email the other day that said, "Im looking for a wedding cake. I dont have a huge budget and dont really care that much about the cake" My first thought was RUN!!! lol!
Yikes! 
I think some people like to insult in order to hopefully cause the price to come down. I've gotten the "its just cake" and "I don't care that much about the cake, I don't want to spend a lot of money" from people (especially brides) before, and I think my new reply is going to be "Yes, well I DO care about the cake! So what is your budget?"
I've been burned before when I agree to a "simple" cake for the same week. It is almost always a 2D, tiered, or 3D fondant request. So now I answer back- what do you MEAN by simple?
Customers have to be educated- sometimes being turned down is what helps them learn.
J My site says I'm booked this month
I would send a email referring them back to your site & let her know you're booked & can't do it...Not to mention that it's last minute. Some people act as if you are a cake fairy & can waive a magic wand & make a cake appear *SMH*
Good suggestions! I'll definitely do one or the other...after I decompress.

I would have responded with "Then call Walmart".
