A Very Bad Cake Day :(

A Very Bad Cake Day :( on Cake Central

This was an order for a baby shower. The whole thing was doomed for the get go. The girl who ordered it was completely rude & adamant about having a 12 in and 8 in square tiered cake & 30 individually boxed cupcakes for a baby shower with only 25 guests. I tried to urge her to get a smaller cake but she wouldn't budge. I baked the cakes (carrot cake) the night before they were due and they completely flopped - thin as pancakes! The next morning, out of sheer desperation, I had to buy frozen sheet cakes from Smart & Final. With not much time to defrost, I had to scrape the frosting off so that I could at least use my homemade CC frosting. It wouldnt adhere to the sides smoothly at all. And as the cake defrosted it settled rather uneven. The result was lumpy, droopy and bumpy with lots of visible crumbs. I was in tears knowing that I had to deliver a cake that I was not proud of and I couldnt bear to charge her full price. I ended up losing a lot of money on this one, but most of all it hurt my pride. I had hoped for repeat business from this party, but Id be very surprise if that happens.

Oh and I didnt put the little circle on the top of the cake, that was from one of the cupcakes. They must have forgot the topper the told me they bought.
