Note To Self: Don't Place Orders Late At Night.
Baking By andpotts Updated 7 Mar 2009 , 5:17am by CakeDiva73
I was a little too excited to place my latest cookie cutter order, went through my cart several times, adding this one, removing that one. Low and behold I look at my invoice this afternoon and see I have 3 jumping salmon cutters on the way! No idea how I managed that one, no more late night ordering for me!

I'm stuck with two huge Frankenstien heads from a late order too! Thought I was the only one who did that, lol.
Oh you poor thing! Is it too late to call customer service and have them fix your order?
BTW - thanks for the chuckle!
cute.
Another HUGE NOTE to self: Never work on quotes late at night. I quoted a giant 350 serving wedding cake WRONG by about $300.00 the other day, and now I have to stick by it. (I was looking at round serving quantities for a square cake!)
I didn't tell them...I'm just calling it my "Volume Discount"
I just had this happen to me this morning!lol! So, I guess don't order them early in the morning either! I've got 3 dog paw print cutters on their way to me! Ha-Ha!!

I don't see how a square cake will be any different in price for 350 servings than the round cake, it'll just be made up of different sizes, yes? I would just say that you were looking at the round chart and not the square and in square, the sizes of cake will be as follows. As a customer I wouldn't complain about that, I'm still getting the servings I wanted, right, and the price won't change, so where would be the problem in that? We all make mistakes!
LOL...too funny! We all do things like that. I'm gonna be up late tonight making a cake. Who knows what will happen!! =o)
if you don't want to keep the jumpin salmon cutters i'd be happy to buy them from you!! i have a microwave fish shaped muffin pan i bought off ebay years ago. was cheap. still waiting for an op to use it lol!!
cute.

Have you never noticed that a square cake takes more cake mix than a round one...
i dont charge per serving otherwise i wouldnt have any orders would be way to expensive... i start with a base of $10 an inch and then add in extra for decoration cake shape and flavour... never had a complaint yet in fact get told i should be charging more but i just cant ... hehehe... have risen prices slightly due to food increases etc and i do charge a delivery set up fee also. if i have to travel a long way ie more than an hour i charge per kilometre travelled.
must admit though have been a couple of cakes that after they are done i have thought i should have charged more but hey thats my fault and i put a note on the order form when i file it away as a note to myself...
Ug. I have done the same thing.....I have flat rate prices for either square or round cakes and accidentally quoted the 10" round instead of the 10" square - definitely not that same as $300 but I know what you mean.
I charge by the slice if the cakes are stacked/tiered and that includes delivery, etc. If I charged by the slice for a regular 8 or 10 inch cake, I would never get any orders.
