Does this happen often? I did a search online and found articles telling brides to say "party" instead of "wedding". I just had this happen to me. I asked more than once what kind of party they were hosting and I got "cocktail party". Well low and behold it's a wedding! Found out when I delivered it. Nice.

They ordered a cupcake tower and my pricing wasn't any different so they didn't save any money but I would have done more to create an impressive display for them. What she chose didn't even look weddingy and I feel that looks bad on me. The more I think about it the more upset I get.

Thanks- Just feeling the need to vent.

No, don't waste time feeling sad becuse she didn't tell you - at the end of the day, she got what she wanted - her choice - her Wedding. As long as she was happy with what you delivered - chalk it up to another happy customer.

Not all Brides are into the Fluff and Bubble that other Brides require.

Some bakers do charge more for weddings and have a rationale for it: often a tasting, more consultations, etc., and may do it to avoid having to a la carte things like gum paste flowers, bling, too.
Others feel that it balances out without having different pricing--I'm one of those, but I don't do tastings or consultations, either.

In some ways, it was their loss for not telling you. If they got what they asked for, then no one can fault you.

I don't know about you, but my oven didn't come with a truth detector OR a mind reading function--LOL.

Fluff and bubble...*snort*..that was funny. No, I don't charge more for weddings either.

My prices are the same for party and wedding. The cake doesn't care.
