How would you even approach Costco with that?
"What do you mean, why should you donate? No, I don't WANT to trim my invite list! Yes, I already asked CakeCentral what to do and they just laughed at me. Yes, I know people in Haiti are starving and you're trying to donate food to them. But you have to help ME. It's my BIG day...even though I can't afford it, I deserve it!!! THE WORLD OWES ME CAKE!!!" {{at this point bride spirals down, screaming, and melts into a steaming puddle of tears and egg whites. A bubble slowly rises to the surface and...Pops! sending a tiny poof of powdered sugar dust up into the air}}
I should eat something...
I think I just peed my pants
artscallion, don't forget the one that always cracks me up .... how they have a RIGHT to a beautiful ornate huge cake!!
Oh yeah, Indy. I think that one's in the US Bill of Rights, right between the "right of the people to keep and bear cute little gumpaste arms" and "the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of Rice Krispie Treats."
LOL....this is almost as bad as the client that phoned Leahs last year and asked her (high end custom cake artist) if she accepted food stamps.
Hey, don't laugh....a bunch of us gals were reprimanded because "everyone is entitled to the wedding cake of their dreams"....that's what some members told us anyway.

OMG! OMG! OMG! you guys are so funny!!!
Hello To everyone who responded to this post. Funny, I never could find this until now! Thanks to Babarajean for the wonderful info. As I mentioned to her, my sister and I have definitely decided to pass on this. The nut case Bride is insisting on having a 4 to 6 tiered yellow cake covered with chocolate frosting with either fresh or fondant red roses. She has been shown cupcakes, she says that is too "kiddish", she wants the "current type of cake". So whom ever her Wedding Planner is, they can have at it with this unrealistic adventure. I don't understand how brides think they can cut the budget in the area of a cake, but spend a ton OF MONEY on a dress and a reception venue. "To me it is like my underwear that day isn't that important, they will be covered by an expensive suit or dress". LOL. I'm sick of CHEAP, I KNOW EVERYTHING BRIDES!

It used to iritate the mess out of me when people would come into the grocery store bakery and purchase elaborate birthday and wedding cakes and pay for them with their EBT (oh, don't dare call it food stamps! It's not food stamps it's EBT ). So glad to see you using my tax dollars to pay for non-essentials.

I've got a better one - for a little while, before the state caught on, people were able to make EBT purchases, return them for cash, and then go buy beer/cigs/etc. That was 1000% irritating

Oh good grief! That me off! I hope (but, knowing the government, doubt ) those who had been doing that were subsequently barred from receiving any further government benefits. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
HELLO ,I need a cake for 80 to 100 people for $300 i live in the bronx and need a lil help . this is my wedding day , i don't have a lot for money and i need to no where i can get a wedding cakes ..
AWhy haven't I seen this post before. Funny but helpful with great information that makes you laugh at the same time. GENIUS! What kind cake are you looking for [@]need cake[/@]?
Not possible I charge 5.00 per slice and additional cost for everything else. Not unless she finds someone right out of pastry school and needs the practice.
AYou could always down size the display cake and just have sheet cakes in the back for cutting. Even doing so you may not get the price under 300 but it will save her some.
