Just talked with the MOB and Bride about cake items that I need to retrieve. I used to work with both and we also played Bunco together.
Bride had called months ago about making her wedding cake, came by and looked at all the cake books I have. She had no clue what she wanted except that the groom's cake needed to be a log cabin. Together, the cakes needed to serve 300. So she gave me free rein--it just needed to be simple but elegant.
The cake is the "Red and Blue" in my photos. But talking with both, neither said a thing about the cakes. 
Maybe I am abit narcissitic (sp?). I had tons of response from the venue owner. I thought maybe they didn't expect me to charge them for the cakes, but I had told them my price and gave them a discount ($541.00) in the several phone calls that I had with the bride. And not once did they say that the price seemed high.
Hmmmm--the life of a cake artist. BTW--the Bride had changed reception venue and didn't bother to call me, I learned from someone that was singing at the reception. Also talked with the Bride the day before the wedding to confirm things, and she asked if she sent me an invitation. I told her no but she said "Well, you are invited. I ran out of invitations b/c MOG kept adding guests. It's been crazy".
I don't think that it's narcissistic to want feedback! We all want to know that people are pleased with what we create and also because we want to improve with every cake that we make. But you k now how brides can be. Give her a minute to recover and I'm sure she'll let you know how much she loved it! Just my opinion, I hate it when people say oh just do what you want, it frazzles me to no end. I think those are the ones where you really start doubting yourself in the end but it's just because you didn't have very much guidance when you were designing it.
Stop by the brides house and ask for your things.
Yep and your mind is always wandering as to will they like this or that etc. I know I probably tear my brides' nerves up because I ask them everything at least 5 times! Are you sure you want this and is that where you want that, etc. I don't want any nonsense on the wedding day that I might have to change or fix!
I agree, it's been long enough, go get your things. While you are there, come right out and ask about the cake. Be blunt, the way they both have acted they don't deserve "nice-ities".
Changing the reception site without telling you--what's with that? They DID pay for the cakes-right? They sound like a pair of scatter brains and maybe the stress from all this scattered them more. But no excuse for not returning your things.
