I just had to laugh at this customer who just called
" Good afternoon is there any way I can get a 2 tiered custom cake made for today?"
Me "Um, no I don't make custom cakes same day as these can take some time." ![]()
" Are you sure I can't get it by tonight?"
"I'm sorry but I cant fit it in on such short notice
Really?"
Yes, really!
sounding dejected "Well thanks anyway"
Your welcome good day.
I laughed for a good five minutes afterwards ![]()

Yeah.. seriously what do people think?? We wave our magic wands and boom a great looking cake right before their eyes. ![]()
And I agree with Mike.. Sandra Lee could have done it and it would have been a $500 cake too. 
had one of those.... he calls at noon for a carved cake to look like BMW or a Porsche or something ... for a dinner party he was throwing that night at FIVE!!!!!! After I burst out laughing, I said, "Do you know how many DAYS it takes to make a cake like that?" I gave him the name of a very expensive bakery in town and suggested he try them .. he said he already had " .... and they said they needed more notice."
The nerve! I get this ALL the time, walk in people being generous and saying they will poke around other stores for half an hour whilst I whip up a cake for 30 people!!! This despite signs on the storefront explaing all custom cakes are pre ordered...oh well!
This one takes the cake! Customer calls today. I need a wedding cake.
O.K. When is the wedding? This Saturday. The lady that was going to make it is sick and cannot do the cake. I am desperate, can you do it? After going through what she actually needed, she wanted a 4 tier cake and didn't care about how it was decorated. I told her that normally I get a little more notice, but that since she was in a bind and one of my regular customers gave her my name I thought I would try and do this for her realizing her situation. I gave her a price. She says, well I have already paid this other woman for the cake, can I pay you after she refunds my money? What! I politely told her that she may pay with her debit or credit card or cash, but that I would need it by tomorrow, since my policy under normal conditions are half down and the balance 2 weeks before the wedding. She seemed irritated that I wouldn't agree to be paid after she got her refund. I am sorry madam, but there is not a business around that would agree to be paid after the fact. She said she would have to call me back, maybe she'll find someone else to agree to her request. I can't believe some people.
