I turned down a cake order for today for a collegue's birthday luncheon. I just didn't have the time. Plus, the girl who ordered it wanted a fruit filling and wouldn't listen to my suggestions on what flavors went well together. Besides not having the time, I just didn't like that girl and was not wanting a bad order experience that I saw coming.
I probably could have found the time, but I'm just not willing to do a cake that I haven't done before that I haven't properly researched on CC and knowing that IN FACT that it'll hold up my reputation for making YUMMY cakes. I was worried that the other baker would steal my clients. About 8-10 people at the luncheon are regular clients of mine, so I didn't want the other baker to One-Up my baking. But, I risked it.
Well.....I got TWO calls today at work from people that attended the luncheon. I couldn't go myself because I was tied up in appointments and my assistant was on vacation. They called just to tell me that the cake that they got sucked! And I was SO happy! 
I know that I should be ashamed, but I'm not. They further commented on the disgusting filling that tasted like straight-up jelly and the frosting that tasted like Crisco with sugar in it. They both said that the cake itself was moist, but the filling and frosting ruined it. I just told them thanks for liking my cakes, but of course I didn't say anything tacky! I saved that for this post!!!
Anyone else as petty as I am?
is it right to feel happy about it? probably not, but we're all human, and i would probably feel the same! glad everyone loves your cakes!
Just kidding girl! Be glad you turned the cake order down because now they love your cakes more than ever!
Nope, you call your own shots because you know what you can and cannot do. I should have said no last week, but didn't and paid for it with the time factor. You know, AR report/EOM deadlines/ yada, yada....
Oh, to just be able to do cakes would be fun...
But no you just care for the integrity of your cakes, that's not a bad thing... and having people miss your's is also not a bad thing....
