This lady called back in Nov- Dec asking prices on wedding cakes. She didn't have alot of money to spend and needed to feed 150 people. Well being the nice guy I told her that I would do the cake for $150. Then she cals back and wants to know exactly what size each cake would be, I told her, she say's she doesn't think that would feed that many people. I told her that i went by the serving size chart in my wilton book. She says those pieces are not even a REAL slice of cake! Any way...she told me that she wasn't sure and wanted me to contact her daughter by e-mail because she would actually be the one taking care of the bill. I did, never received a reply. The other lady never called back. This wedding cake was for June so today I had my daughter (Who works for me ) call and leave them a message that we needed to confirm this cake for the date in June as our calendar is starting to fill. My daughter left a message and told her that if we did not receive confirmation by Friday that we would consider this cake order void. The lady called back a little while later screaming at my daughter that " I got your message and you can just tear up my order for that cake, if you think I have to give you an answer by friday!" Then hung up quickly so my daughter did not have time to explain. Should I call her back and try to explain or just let it go. She has been very picky from the start and wants a huge cake for next to nothing. I would assume just let her go but i am concerned that this is no 
t very business like?
It's a good thing you don't have her anylonger. she wanted something for almost nothing and for sure would have given you fits if it didn't work for her. Champagne taste on a beer budget. If she was that rude on just asking for a decision by friday, just think of how she would have been on the actual cake. Good bye to her!
Yes!! Let it go! You don't need that kind of customer. It's not worth the stress.
I've said it before.....do NOT chase after bad business!
I wouldn't have contacted them today to confirm. You contacted the daughter via email, as instructed, and got no response. Dun deal. If they wanted it, they would contact you. If you're already booked, then they waited too long.
Tough Toenails to them! 
She sounds like a raving nutter - not the type you want to do business with. Let he go and be insane elsewhere!
Do not call her back.
Consider this a blessing in disguise. She's not going to find a cake to feed 150 ppl for $150 so she's going to realize how good she had it. She might even call you back once she has shopped around...I'd think twice before working with her.
Don't let it bother you...business gets nasty sometimes.
i wouldnt worry about it being bad for business b/c most decent people understand when someone is being unreasonable...so if she complains about you to others, it will likely be ignored, the message was beyond helpful really, and so i dont think you need to worry about not having been professional.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL HER BACK!
What has she never heard of a deadline before??? I'm sure all the other wedding vendors made her pick a date or confirm or put a down payment on the service to reserve it - she's being ridiculous. Sounds like she's gotten way caught up in wedding stress - if you're that cheap, do a smaller wedding. Explain to people that you're on a budget and while you would love for them to be there, you simply are inviting mostly family. If you have a mega dream of a huge wedding - have it later on in life as a recommitment cermony or a renewing of vows or something - just make that one your "big" one when you can afford it (if you can).
Just consider it a blessing - do not consider doing business with this woman at any time!

I agree with you on this. Don't feel sorry for someone you don't know and give them a $1 a piece, save that for someone you know and who needs it.
I wouldn't touch this one with a barge pole and if she ever comes crawling back I'd tell her you were now booked for that day!
i don't get this lady... i mean i don't understand why she is freaking out.. she has five days to get you an answer... i bet you would have even gave her extra time if she needed it.
so just let her go... you are not making much off her order anyways.
ps. let us know if she calls you back... because i think she will!
wow..some people are just dumb...they just think that we can throw it together in a day!!!! Gezzzzz I'm with everyone else just let it go and don't go after it, and if she calls you back then hang up on her real fast either that or tell her the deal has been taken off the table and it will be your regular price now.
