Ok, so to make a loooong sotry not so long. I had 50 cupcakes to make for Sunday. I am pregnant and in the middle of moving, and life just got in the way. So i didn't start until friday. The cupcakes where 25 vanilla and 25 chcolate with white forsting and fondant bows in brown and Tiffany blue. . The recipes i use for my cakes did nto work in cupcakes. so i tried new ones but ended up using a mix (I never bake with a mix) so i felt bad. Then i realized i need to make almost 500 loops of fondant to make enogh for the bows.....anyway, in themidst of tears and ready to quit. (I also have been so sick that i havnt touched any cake decorating things in 4 months). So i did all the prep Sat night and was going to finish them sunday morning. I started tpo do them and they where ok but not what i would have been proud of. So after gettign on CC where ppl are so nice and calmed me down. My mom came over and she sat with me while i worked out another way. I did it and they turned out amazing. i ended up putting the loops around in a circle and then filling in the middle with tip 96 so itl ooked like a swirly roset and then i put whie cake sparkles on it. They looked amazing and if my computer was working i would post them. I was so proud...i just loved them. But I was nervous if the customer would like them b/c its not exactly what we discussed. I brought them over, her husband opened the door and was like WOW. But i thought he's a man so big deal. She came in next and LOVED them, then her daughter, whos party it was, came in and was shreiking how much she loved them. I set them up in the stands, got my money and left.
She called me the next night and was like "I need to talk to you about a few things" Luckily for me i was teaching and needed to call her back. I was paniced....all these horible thoguhts running through my head, the cupcakes where raw, sje knew i used a mix....she wants her money back...i was so upset i din;t want to call her back. But i had to. So i did.... She was in a nice tone....she said I htink you may have over charged me, but if you don't htink so its ok." So i looked at my records, i don;t think i did but i remember what she said..anywya she doesn;t want her money back she wants it for a credit. I said fine...Then she says "Just one realy bad thing" (I was already upset for no reason and woried) "you didn't leave me business cards" (my shipment didnt come) That was the real bad thing???? Then she went on and on about how amazing they were and she can;t believe it..Everyone at the party was talking about them....
So what i learned form this. I know in my headi am good enough, but the message is not getting to my heart. I need it to. I need to be more confident. Thank you for letting me tell you my long cupcake story...and I hope everyone beleives they are good enough.....
later,
S
