Has anyone ever answered with an off-the-wall, totally irrelevant comment? I once told someone who asked me to stay and help cut AND serve the cake she ordered from me, "Oh, no, I can't do that...it's against my religion"...she looked so confused and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Okay." I couldn't stop laughing and then I told her I was kidding, but no, I still wouldn't cut it.
I should try this on this woman, but she's of the same faith as me so it probably won't land...
This is so funny. You made me laugh. You know people are going to start calling you "that-crazy-old-lady" if you keep doing things like this.
Okay Tita, I don't know why I keep finding you in the forums. I saw the name of this topic and it looked interesting and I find you in here. I promise I am not stalking you. 
I've read other threads on here will people will call up a baker that is a perfect stranger and ask them to sponser the girl, which is essentially asking them to donate the cake to her party. I forget what they call the people that donate money to pay for the party. they have a name but I'm still laughing so hard about the african killer bees that I can't think straight!
Yes I've heard of that too, they ask them to be a "padrina" (spelling?) another word would be "godmother", it's an honor ya know! Supposedly these "godmothers or godfathers" all donate different items to the party.
Glad I've never had that request........here in MA I've never even heard of a Quincenera Party.
Oh wow, I've just read through this whole thread and I couldn't stop laughing! I'm too inexperienced to have much like this happen to me, but the last wedding I went to had the groomsmen cut and serve the cake. Watching them butcher it was absolutely hilarious. THE biggest piece of cake I've ever had at a wedding.
I LOVE the "I can't because it's against my religion" response. In many situations I've been told THEY can't cut the cake because they don't want to be the ones to destroy such hard work. Then they look at me while everyone else is waiting for someone to move. 
I end up cutting just so people don't get restless and start coming at the cake with forks.
I'm definitely going to use that line.
