CarolynGwen! Welcome to the "dark side" You're in good company!
*Takes off-set spatula out of sheath and knights CG!!*
Take your seat at the round table! 
ROTFLMAO 
( and I have a BIG A$#)
I sooooooooooooooo would love to have been there!
Cake mix - 10 for $10
Icing in a jar - $2.39
Look on the "Rude" mother for asking for a free cake - Priceless
I love your spunk and your big "BAL#@" for having the guts to do exactly what you did!
That says it perfect!
Good for you, pat yourself on the back for that one! We all wish we could say that! 
You make us proud............ LOL
What is wrong with all of you. This could have been handled is a much better way that did not hurt anyone. You could of said on the call that you were dissappointed that she would call and invite your son only to get a free cake. You could have said you were already booked so you son would bring a gift if she still wanted him to come. There are many ways to settle a dispute like this. You could have just said no thank you like I did for my daughter's 5th grade graduation. I am not trying to be a bigger person here just a good Christian. These are the examples we teach our children??? This was a perfect time to teach a child how people can be dishonest and how to handle the situation. Instead we have a board full of people laughing and teaching the children of tomorrow how to be just as mean spirited as other s are. An eye for an eye. I am disappointed.
I love it love it love it
I wish I would have been there. I'm glad the little girl didn't care or even realize what was going on. I am going to email it to my friends. mabe they will think of this before asking for a free cake. although none of them ever have...yet.

Excuse me, but if telling a lie to get out of doing something you don't want to do isn't dishonest, I don't know what is.
I'll shoot straight, and accept the consequenses, thank you very much.
Priceless! Thank you for making my night! And kudos for standing up for your son. I volunteer to make cakes for friends' kids' birthdays now for practice and hope to get licensed one day. I hope no one ever takes advantage of me esp my family like this. You've set a great example for me.
CarolynGwen - I just don't believe you did this. You're making it up!
YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
Wish I had the cake balls to pull that one. Still - going to print it and if the opportunity arises, I'm going to try it!
Oh no I did it.
I live in the capital city in the country of Cheapville. (Someone was trying to get a large purchase discount at McD's for a family of 5 the other day I kid you not!)
Almost every order for kids events is someone bartering for lower prices for better cakes. It gets old but outside of wedding season I have to play nice to have income. With strangers I have much more patience and am much more professional in my dealings.
With friends though, I've reached the end of my rope. My problem is this friend just has a hand out at every corner. She doesn't do things for others unless it benefits her some how or she can use it against you as leverage to benefit her down the road. All of her friends tired of it and backed off ages ago from her. I was pretty much the last one who had any contact. After this I doubt I will. LOL
Indydebi will love this story! 
Good for you.......what a piece of work she obviously is..........pats on the back! 
PS: Not a story to read while drinking iced tea either! 
re: CakemanOH reply.
There was no-one hurt in this situation.
Invitation was accepted with a cake to be presented on such day. Mother of child did present cake.
What about mother of b'day girl - she is not satisfied with GIFT of cake.
Only people hurt were the mothers of the chidren. One justifiably and the other one not. I'll let you figure out which is which.
Give me a break.
I can see this might get heated....
CakemanOH: Sometimes you can only take so much. You can't expect everyone to react as you would, nor do you have to react as others. We can't always be doormats to be walked on.
Nah. Shouldn't be heated. I do not expect people to react as I would....I am dissappointed that a bad situation was reacted to with a bad situation and it get's cheered on. I just think there are better ways to deal with these situations.

Just the title of this thread alone shows there was malice and an attempt to be cruel in this situation.

And as I stated, not everyone reacts the same way. When one gets constantly taken advantage of, one can get pretty ticked off. From what I understand, the kids weren't involved in the "drama". Sometimes, certain people only finally react to dramatic situations. You don't have to agree with what happened, but it happened and we can now move on.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the rest to God
Ok Kansaslaura. Seems some do not live by their avatars. It looks good in writing though.
Since my character is being called into question Let me take a moment and define what is generous and what is being taken advantage of.
I donate a full sheet cake each month to the local nursing home since there is no budget for birthday parties. I baked over 600 Monster cookies for the forensic team last year so they could give a scholarship. I'm in the middle of a fundraiser for the cheerleaders. This is from my heart, this is my giving back, loving generously and caring deeply.
What is not giving is what is taken from me by manipulation. We've all been used. How dare that mother use another mother's child as bargaining tool to get what she wants! NO one messes with my children in any way shape or form. She stepped over the line and got exactly what she had coming to her.

Agreed....I am just surprised that this board would cheer for and encourage this situation. Oh Well.
omg that was wonderful, but I know they are all probably talking Sh*t about you and how ur such a you know what. but who cares this was wonderful lol
Look - can't we all get along?
It's a funny story and if you haven't been in Gwen's situation yet, you will. And when you are, you will think about this, probably have a chuckle to yourself, and think "man I wish I had the guts to do what she did". Nuff said! Laugh if you want to, ignore it if you don't.

Sorry. Did not mean to do that. But I would like to think that if someone messed with your children you would deal with the situation based on your belief in your avatar. Who are we to decide if someone gets what they deserve. Wouldn't it been just as easy to say sorry my child cannot make it???? Couldn't it have been left at telling the person you were dissappointed that they would use your children for their personnal gain and no you would not make the cake and no you child would not be coming to the party. The drama of actually making a cake with malice in mind served no purpose.
Way to go! I've recently learned that "friends" can turn on you in a second. And you can't be taken advantage of.
It took alot of nerve for her to call you and ask for a free cake and only invited your child to get you there. But to admit that to you freely, she deserves whatever she got.
You can only "turn the other cheek" so many times because you only have so many cheeks.

At first I felt bad the daughter, but it was obvious that the grandma had been waiting for someone to put her in the place. I was so happy to read in a later message that even her own daughter knew that her mom was in the wrong and showed great respect and maturity for thanking her for the cake.
Way to go!
Cakeman,
In general, most people find a holier than thou, finger wagging, and criticisms of their beliefs to be a repugnant practice in a public forum.
Is it time for a larger halo? Is yours too tight, making you cranky?
Yes, this was over the top...although I can empathize. Is your strident response helping? Not a bit.
You may remember that Christ broke fast with thieves and prostitutes and saved his wrath for the real injustice..i.e. moeny lenders in the temple.
Dood, relax! Criticizing someones morality and religion in a tight-knit internet community, especially over such a trivial isuue, says a lot more about you and your judgement (that word cuts many ways) than it does about her of ther rest of those who commented.
E
think the mom of the bday girl needed to be told
appears her family was too afraid to do it themselves
apparently they didn't have the "Cake Balls" either
good for you for showing what she was really all about.
and for protecting your child
I think you did the right thing by not telling a lie to get your way out of it
hardly eye for an eye
even the husband being cool with it has to say something
