Well This Was A First For Me!

I just got a call from a bride whose wedding is this Friday. She said her friend is baking the cake and she just found out the banquet hall won't allow cake by an unlicensed baker. (They just called her saying they still need a copy of the contract from the baker for their files.) So I'm thinking...great, she wants me to do a rush job. Ugh!
But nooooooooooo.
She says, "I know this is a strange request, but I'm wondering if you would just write up a contract so they'll think you baked the cake? 
We can even pay you, like, $20!!! 
For real? 
Ahhh..No!!And she didn't check into this until now....Idiot!!
unbelievable!!! So when 300 people get sick..guess who's name and contract is with that cake...yours. NO WAY.
I guess the recession has affected everything - according to the bride, the price of integrity is only twenty bucks?

There is a quote from Albert Einstein that goes something like this:
" there are two things in this world that are infinite: the Universe and people stupidity and I'm not sure about the Universe" . That fit this dingy bride! She must be smoking some funny stuff!
Ahhh..No!!And she didn't check into this until now....Idiot!!
She said they "still" need a copy of the contract, so I'm assuming she knew. Maybe she thought she just needed a contract from her friend?? 
I work with this hall all the time and THEIR contract states that there is a $100 cutting fee and that the cake MUST be from a licensed baker. I don't know how she could have missed it.
I really do feel sorry for her. I know weddings are stressful and there are lots of things to keep track of....and now this is one more thing she has to stress about....but come on! And she made the $20 sound like such a great deal. Like....all you have to do is sign your name on a piece of paper and you'll get a whole $20!!! 
Don't do it! You would be handing over all liability for $20! What is this woman thinking??
It's fraudulent and immoral and she's a loony.
I'm sure you are smarter than that. Thank heavens!
Oh...I have no intention of doing it. LOL
Yes, you could be getting an order for a wedding cake for this Friday. Let's see, an 8" round cake, contract needed for venue, no need to deliver, we'll pick it up........... then magically appears the friends cake for delivery, along with said contract.

I hope not...

hopefully, the hall knows johnnycakes well enough to not allow them to pull one over on 'em.
O.....M.....G! Just when you think you've heard it all!

Is this someone you know, or did she just pick you out of the phone book? I can't decide which is worse -- asking this of a friend or assuming a total stranger would have no problems with it?

I don't know who she was. She didn't give her name and I didn't keep her on the phone long enough to find out.
And nope, I won't be doing any last minute wedding cakes this week! If I had time and she was paying me (more than $20!!!), I'd consider it....but I'm too busy this weekend. I suppose her friend can bake the cake and everyone can gather in the parking lot for the cake cutting ceremony.
wow...amazing... I still can't close my gapping mouth of disbelief.
I guess liability issues are not in her dictionary.
If she signed a contract with the venue she knew right then and there I'm sure it was in black and white she had to work with a licensed baker providing food there her karma is now going to bite her rear big time, I said last week in a post karma does come around to those who trying to work outside the rules they eventually get caught on their own, and she probably has her fanny in a sling as the venue at this point may want to call the baker / decorator and verify since she has put them off for so long and the venue does not want to get sued so they are covering their butt. I'd hate to be in her ruby slippers about now.
