Thanks, he's doing great now, it'll be like it never happened by the time I'm done paying for it all...

A"But I can get two tiered fondant cakes for 50-55 people for 75 $, cause I got it like that"

Client: How much is a cupcake?

Baker: Asks how many pcs does client need so baker can quote her a good price

Client: (out of nowhere mentioned another seller)  So-so's cupcakes are quite good

Baker muttered under her breath: then go buy from her, what are you bothering me for if you like her cupcakes?

Same client bought lemon cake then later feedbacked that it was a bit sour ( I make it a point to bake extra so I can have a taste before the cake goes out, thought it was fine) I'm like, of course it has some sourness to it, it's lemon

Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth the time and effort to make something from scratch for a client like that. I've vowed not to accept any orders from that client ever again.

5. Stuff the football boots with newspaper to take care of shape in order to help extract any moisture. If your boots are very wet, you might want to replace the newspaper daily.

6. Permit the football boots to dry inside a natural heat.

Warning: Drying the boots with heat could potentially cause the football boots being stiff and also the adhesives can deteriorate. Stiff boots are far more gonna rip and are weak. Deteriorated adhesives may make joints weak, including the join between your upper along with the sole plate. Additionally, heat drying your football boots may cause your soleplate to warp.

7. Once dry, grease the studs, Vaseline will work for this. This will likely prevent rusting in the event the boots are screw-in, it will also prevent soil from staying with the studs.

8. In the event the boots are leather, they are often polished to retain their colour.www.soccerpro2013.co.uk

I'm just a hobby baker too. One line I hate aswell is "Wow, you should go on Masterchef!". Obviously they don't know the difference between cooking and baking -_-

Just start acting all excited and say "oh my God, if you can get it for that amount you'd better go get it before they realize they're making $2 an hour! Really, run! GO! GO! Why are you still here, GO AWAY QUICKLY!"

LOVE!!

AThings my mom says to me,

why does the frosting taste so buttery? Hey I volunteered you to do a 2 year old birthday cake the same weekend you have to make a huge wedding cake, that's ok right? What is that fondant stuff, why do you have to put it on there (they ordered it) no body likes it. Why do you have to do three layers inside, wouldn't two be easier?

My mom is silly :p.

I am going to have to find a women's group of some sort when my 4 year old starts school. I need more friends :-) I was only half kidding, lol!

I have absolutely told people over the phone, and in consultations, when they tried to haggle and say so and so bakery will do it for $XXX , that it wasn't worth it to me to make it for any less, so if they could find one as good as mine, then please snatch it up before the baker realizes they aren't making any money. And they normally decide to go with me, anyway. And if they don't, oh well!

OMG...I wish CC had a like button for comments! You guys are hilarious! Must be a Friday!

Mmmmm, axle grease! 

 Someone I supply on a regular basis. "I'll be sending my staff over to yr studio, please teach them all you know about your HOBBY!!" I support myself and son practicing my HOBBY!

Did they really say that? I'd reply that I'm glad to do staff training seminars, the cost is $100 per hour per person and they have to supply the location and materials.

Good idea! Perhaps we can go on vacation this year
 

AMy mom complains about buttery frosting as well. :3

This might be too mean to do to your mother, but I once made up a bunch of icing for a decorating class that had about half a container of salt in it. The kids in the class had been sucking icing out of the bags and saying that they "couldn't resist," so the salt icing taught them real quick that yes, they could resist.

I bet a cake iced with salty icing would make the complainers shut up real fast if they got to switch back to normal icing.

Bahahahaha!!!! I would totally do this! ^^^^^^

I made a batch of icing once at my moms and the butter had gone rancid in the freezer.  It made for great practice icing since it tasted bad.  I could practice, scrape it off the bottom of the pan and re-use it over and over and over with absolutely no temptation to snack on any.

First of all <3 this thread!

It's been really helpful on how to handle and see how others handle complicated situations.
