I often check craigslist to see what cake things people are selling. Well I came across this ad just now and all I can say is WOW!
ok here is the deal. I started planning my daughters First birthday over 2 months ago..i found everything to make this go right..well my the lady that was suppose to be making my daughters cake had a bad accident last night and now is stuck in bed for god knows how long..which means now..i dont have a cake for the party.!!!!
so here is where you come in..do you have any one you can recommend or can you make this your self...PLEASE SOMEONE RESPOND ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
Her birthday is on Sunday and her party is from 2-6. Its going to be in Round Rock. Her cake needs to be a CASTLE!!! and it needs to feed about 75-100 people. It needs to be big and PERFECT!!! we really want a big castle, but if you cant do a castle maybe there is something that you can suggest to go with a princess theme!!!!! please someone respond..and please dont respond if you are expecting me to pay like 100-150 for this cake! thank you....
you can also reach me on my cell at
I'm thinking to myself, Ok so this woman wants a huge cake with 2 day notice for less than $100. And it has to be perfect. I wonder if she got anyone to respond.
and please dont respond if you are expecting me to pay like 100-150 for this cake! thank you....
I wonder if she got anyone to respond.
I'm sure there were MANY comments, 
but no offers to make that cake for her. 
Me thinks her daughter is going to end up with non-perfect, non-castle sheet cakes from Wal-Mart. 
Of course, she can always postpone the birthday party 
until her cake lady is well enough to make the BIG & Perfect Castle cake for 75-100 guests for less than $1.50 each.... 
Well, I wouldn't wouldn't expect her to pay me 100-150 for the cake she wants, more like 500 + 25% rush notice lol!

That was going to be my question - can I respond if my quote is $500 for a castle cake?

C-O-S-T-C-O with a plastic crown on top. Should fit the budget and timeline.
lol 
i bet the other decorator realized what a PITA this women was and cancelled.... or decided less than 100 wasn't worth it.
Too bad the party is over and she isn't near me. I have a shortage of last minute elaborate cakes to do for cheapskates.
lol
75-100 ppl for a 1 YEAR OLD'S BIRTHDAY?!?!? WTH?!?! That kid won't even know what the heck that big thing is for besides shoving her fingers in! Can you imagine what this woman will want for her daughter's 16th birthday not to mention the WEDDING? Good Lord!
PITA Alert! PITA Alert!
Families are all different. In the family I was raised with, everyone stayed living close together and participated in everything - going to a cousin's softball game, niece's piano recital, uncle's birthday party was everyday events. It wasn't uncommon for 50 family members to spontaneously gather at my grandmother's house after church. Then one day my mom up and moved away from it all, and events were much smaller. She liked it that way. Now I've married into a large involved family again, and it's just like when I was young. We just went to my husband's cousin's son's softball game on Saturday.
When my daughter was 1, her first birthday was enormous. 100 people easily, a big BBQ bash and her baptism. We paid $200 to rent a private location. ALL friends & family were invited. I made a super elaborate 3 tiered tribute to pink and she had a mini sugar free 3" to herself.
I don't understand why people have this mentality I must outdo last year's party year after year. My daughter's 2nd birthday was in my neighbor's backyard with about 10 kids, planned about a week before the event, with a Costco cake. Her 3rd birthday was at the local park. She just celebrated her 4th and it was at a park again, with about 5 kids, mostly cousins. Just because you wanted to do the first party big, doesn't make you a pain in the ass. No, she has NO idea what happened. She won't remember it. Everyone else will, and one day she'll see pictures of so many people came out to celebrate her first year of life (and eat for free.)
Her 15th birthday will be huge as well. The whole traditional Quinceanera shabang.
None of this makes her spoiled or a brat, either. She takes good care of her toys and is very well mannered. If she ever tries to act like those Sweet 16's on MTV, she'll have another thing coming.
She'll pay for her own wedding, so that's up to her.
On the original topic - the price she wants to feed all these people with is ridiculous! She needs to go buy some $1 box mixes and some canned frosting.
It's been a MONDAY through and through. Thanks for the laugh!
The sad thing is there is always a chance that someone just wanting to make a cake and not knowing any better agreed to do it.
I really wonder if she got her 'perfect' castle cake.
