I had a wedding for Sept. 24th that was cancelled due to Rita. Baked cakes on Thursday (22nd) and bride-to-be called Friday at 8:30 to cancel. Understandable!!! Talked with fiance and was told wedding was going to be on 10-9th. No problem--wrapped cakes well and put in freezer. Called bride-to-be last nite to reconfirm date and time. Bride-to-be tells me that they got married on Friday (23rd) since parents were down.

When I asked about reception and cakes, bride was surprised that I had already baked cakes since she cancelled Friday AM. Told bride at consultation that wedding cakes for Saturdays were baked on Thursdays and decorated on Fridays.

Now that I vented, I guess I will go ahead and decorate some way and take to churches for evacuees. Whew--feel better now. Thanks for listening!!!

I hope you at least got a deposit out of that one to cover for frustration!!

Nice to see you find the silver lining and donating to the hurricane victims!

Kudos to you!!!

Wow - that was thoughtful of them to let you know!! Vent away - you would have had to scrape me off the ceiling!

Some people are sooooo inconsiderate! I hope you got a deposit too!!

Glad you are still able to make good use of the cakes though!

Mac,
I am so sorry to hear that. I know that is so frustrating..& Vent Away!! I am really glad that you can find something to do with the cakes..

Well at least alls not lost you can practice and send cake to places that are unfamiliar with your talent and maybe get orders......

Ohhh Mac! I feel for you!! That will be nice of you to donate the cake, what a good person you are! It's ok to scream & kick things!!! I would if I were you!!
