or is it? I wanted your opinions.

I feel bad because this lady called and asked if I do topsy turvey cakes. I've never made one, but if I had a lot of notice, I probably would've researched it, gotten myself more comfortable with the idea and told her I'd do it. But she wanted it for Saturday. I told her I couldn't do it.

I'm not sure if the pre-pregnant me would've done that. I've been sick every day and I haven't even been on CC at all lately! I just think cake sounds a bit icky. Not really EATING it. Making it. haha I have one measely order for Saturday - an easy one. I didn't want to commit myself to doing something I've never done and then screw it up.

Did I pass on a good opportunity - or was I smart to pass it up?

Thanks..........!!

P.S. How easy/hard is it to make one of those. I want to sort've figure out how to do one now before I get myself into another situation like this!

Smart to give it up. Those cakes are tough in their own, and your first shouldn't be first notice, pregnant or not.

i think the pregnancy is improving your reasoning teehee

Wow. I feel so much better! Thank you so much!

Nobody should be ordering a tiered cake the same week as the party! I rarely take orders last minute like this unless they are small ones AND if I'm in the mood.

they are hard!!!! the first one was a JOKE!! don't worry about it take care of yourself!

You did the right thing, for sure
Those cakes are hard and if it was my first one I would need the time to research and make a few samples.
My first topsy turvy cake was a nightmare to create and I cried a million tears the week I made it.
Preganant or not this type of cake is not one I would do as a last minute order.

I hope you start to feel better soon! ((Hug))

Your body dictates what you can and cannot undertake... I have only played with the smallest tier on a topsy-turvy dummy trying to cover it without the fondant driving me nuts, etc. ...'bout did myself in and I'm WELL beyond childbearing years! You were smart to turn down not only a last minute order, but a demanding one at that!

HARD...smart move.

Very good. I'm feeling better about my decision. Thanks! I'm also reading up on the tutorial on CC - I think I'm going to make one just to try it out. Probably for family.
