One of my wedding cakes for this weekend was supposed to have one layer of chocolate cake. One of my assistants jobs is to make a list of all the cake sizes and flavours for that weekend that I use to bake from. She made a mistake and listed all the tiers as vanilla cakes!

The MOB emailed me now, saying the cake was lovely and tasted great, but that they were sad not have had the chocolate cake icon_cry.gif

I feel terrible and will send her a gift voucher, Im just not sure about the wording, the one I've typed so far sounds sooooo lame icon_sad.gif

Could anyone help with some professional wording please

I would think a partial refund is in order not a gift voucher as it is a major screw up getting the flavours wrong.

I dont agree, unless she asked for money back. I would offer the gift voucher, hopefully some of the pros will chime in with wording as requested.

I think I'd say instead of that boldened line^^^

The disapoinment can hopefully be overcome in time by the fact that some greater good will be accomplished in their name.
