OK, so I am doing a shower cake with a baby on it. I have only communicated with the customer through emails as of right now. Plus, she's not the one who is pregnant. Last night I got to thinking, I can't assume what race they are. So I don't want to assume and make a copper baby if they are spanish or indian or whatever. I want to email the woman and ask her what color she wants the baby made, but I don't want to sound tacky or offend anyone
Can I just email and ask her what color to make the baby, or is that rude? Thanks!
I say e-mail them I'd rather them feel weird that you asked rather then mad because you made the "wrong" colored baby
I would e-mail and ask, there is nothing wrong with that. You will be glad you did.
i would email them. if i got an email asking me which color to make the baby i wouldn't get offended...good luck!
Good Question -
I see nothing wrong with sending a polite email asking
"Dear *****
might there be a preferance of origin for the baby you wish on the baby shower cake?"
Might sound a bit *sweet* but shows you have forthought.
Not everyone would think along those lines.
Credit to you.
Bh.
Nothing wrong with asking.
I'd word it something like this.
Dear Mrs. _______
In reviewing your order for the baby shower cake I realize that there are some details that I need confirmed before I begin work on your cake order.
I know you want a baby on top of the cake however I need to know the ethnicity of the baby.
Your quick response is appreciated.
Sincerely,
___________
Thanks you all so much! I just didn't want to assume what color baby to make, and didn't know if someone might find that question offensive! Thanks again!
could you also mention that getting colors spot on is important to you. maybe she could give you a reference as to what the color of the skin might look like. i had someone order a cookie family and they wanted them cafe au lait.....
Thank you all I just got a reply email from her and she wants it hispanic. So, it's a good thing I thought of asking, or I would have felt terrible Any suggestions on making that color? Thanks again
