So this lady comes to the shoppe and orders a cake for about let's say what would be $600, she pay half, and we agree she'll come 15 days before the party with the rest
The day before she's coming she calls to tell us that she is coming with her husband and please not to give him the invoice, since she told him the cake was $1000.!!
The day she comes to pay, the husband has the money in his hand, but his phone rings, so he handles the money to her and steps out. She gives us $300 and very carefully puts the rest in his bag without him noticing.
I felt so bad for this guy, plus when I was making the cake I was worried to make it look like a $1000 cake, But I charged $600... 
how odd. I hope that her reasons are for some fun surprise for him!
I wonder what she wanted the extra $$ for. 
Oh wow, how awful for him! I knew of a lady who pilfered hundreds of thousands from her husband. He would give her $1000 to take to the bank and put in a CD (cert of deposit) .... she'd pocket it and give him a doctored photocopy she had created of a previous CD. He thought he had a few hundred thousand in the bank for his retirement and he found out, right before he retired, that he had nothing.
That really is sad. I feel bad for them both. I wonder why she has to work so hard to get the money from him. I wonder if he is being ripped off all the time. Either he is controlling or she is a thief. You had nothing to do with it and best not to get involved.
How can anyone go to sleep at night after doing that.
Now, this man is going to think that your shop is a total rip-off for charging so much.
When I think about what this woman did it makes me ill. She is nothing but a crook.
I am sorry to say I had a best friend that did this sort of thing all the time to her husband. She did all kinds of things to this man.
There were times she would somehow use my name in her sceams. One day her husband called me up out of the blue and cussed me up one end and down another. Wouldn't give me a chance to say a word.
I don't know what it was about, I just told her I wasn't going to be part of their games and haven't talked to her since.
You could always call her up and tell her you know her secret and you want half or you are going to tell her husband 
After the cake is delivered of course. Just kidding. The nerve of some people. I feel bad for the poor guy.
indydebi, I was just wondering if this man was serving 25 to life?
Now, this man is going to think that your shop is a total rip-off for charging so much.
This is exactly what I was thinking all the time I was decorating this cake
I'd imagine him drunk beside the cake table yelling " CAN YOU BELIVE THIS CAKE COST ME $1000??? WHAT A RIP OFF!!!
I ended up working extra as if I had charged extra...only I didn't
Oh man how uncomfortable and just plain of rude of her. I can't imagine taking money from my husband like that. I'll admit I have lied about the cost of things in the past, I'll say something cost x amount of dollars when really it cost x and a half but wow 600 is alot. What if you oh I dunno maybe perhaps accidentially give him a copy of the invoice when you deliver the cake....
The cake was delivered on friday, and today I find out she was very happy with the cake -she made $400 out of it-
I would have never said anything to the husband I don't wanna be part of a fight.
What if you oh I dunno maybe perhaps accidentially give him a copy of the invoice when you deliver the cake....
I agree, what if you slip him a copy of the invoice? That is so wrong of that lady!
. What if you oh I dunno maybe perhaps accidentially give him a copy of the invoice when you deliver the cake....
that would not only clear your conscience but also give a heads up to the husband about his sneaky wife... i mean if it in an accident... she can't get mad at you right??
Alright....now don't yell at me...I am not trying to "stir" anything up......but I'm going to give a possible scenerio here......a "What if..."
"What if" this woman is in a marriage where her husband controls EVERYTHING...her, her time, the money....everything. You hear of this happening in our world today. You hear of husbands who make their wives account for everything.....by proving with receipts from the grocery store, by giving certain "time frames" that she can shop, by limiting contact with family/friends/etc.....and on and on. Control......most of the time in sync with an abusive relationship.
"What if" this was the ONLY way this woman could get money for something for her child, something her child NEEDS (needs....not wants) but her husband won't allow it. "What if" this woman is tring to save money to escape an abusive relationship.
Sure....these "what if's" are far-fetched, however, they happen in our world. SCCCCARRRRYYYYY, but sadly, true!
NOW....That said.....I don't agree with the way that this woman put her baker in this situation. Polacaracas......I feel for the position that you were put in. This woman should have never placed you in the middle of the false exchange of money.....that was terribly wrong of her. I do applaud you for the stand that you took......to not involve yourself by saying anything, directly or indirectly, to the husband.
Again.....please don't let my "typing" here stir anything up. I just wanted to give a possible "other side of the story" scenerio here......just food for thought.

I agree with you! The whole time I have been reading all of the posts - all I could think of - is "This screams abuse!" This poor women.
I had a friend that was in an abusive relationship, and she was never allowed to have her own money. So she would clip coupons and buy groceries, then she would take the coupons up to the front and get a refund for them, so it wouldn't be on the recipts. Then would put the money in books and places around the house. Once she had enough money put away, she took her kids and left him.
I think people should be open minded. You don't know what that women is going through - that she has to lie to get money.

It's a real possibility. My father is emotionally abusive and has had my mother without a car for a couple years now. He keeps promising to get her one but she's stuck in the middle of nowhere and can't go grocery shopping without asking for a ride.
Thats why I didn't say anything, cause you just never know what's going on between a couple.
I must say this was a cake for a quinceanera, I dont think if he pays $1000 for a cake he is cheap to his daughter
Zubia thank you so much, but you know the more a client pays for a cake the more picky it gets.
I think you did right to not get involved. You did your job; you made their cake. You don't have anything to feel guilty about. 
And I would agree with some of the posts on here; you just never know the whole story. I put up w/ years of emotional abuse and a controlling husband. But then when I had kids and it spilled over onto my ability to raise them correctly, I left. I also had a cousin who was in a similar situation with a control freak. My uncle had to send her a "gift". It was a dress with plane tickets tucked into the tissue paper for her and her children. She got away and never looked back...
Geez, after reading all this I started feeling guilty for getting 'cash back' after grocery shopping or whatever just to have a little cash for myself (I dont work).
My husband is sitting here beside so I told him I do that sometimes and he didn't care....lol....I guess if it was a few hundred bucks he might care but 20 bucks here and there is no big deal....hard telling where this couple is in their relationship... 
I think it's sad that she had to "cheat" to get some money. Makes you sad to think about their relationship.
