to all -- since this happens regularly I want to be clear that I am not deterred from expressing my opinion in my same respectful patient polite way --
best to you all
Ok , back to the list. I have another one. I black balled a former friend because she wanted an extra special baby shower cake for her daughter. She was planning an upscale soiree, so she did not want a silly cake, and it was to be for 20 people. I asked her numerous times how many were expected, because she is known for her small get-togethers turning into big parties and all day open house events.
When I delivered it, there was no problem, she claimed to like it and was very satisfied. However, when I did not hear back from her afterward, I contacted her and she said not only was it not served, she was too ashamed to take it out of the refrigerator. She said while it was nice looking and probably tasted good, it was way too small and had to go to the local Publix supermarket bakery section to get a big enough cake. She did not take mine out to serve because the 2 cakes did not match. She claimed she was humiliated and how dare I even call her.
WTF??? When I reminded her how many times I asked her if she was sure about the number of guests and servings, she said, "well yes, I did tell you that, right up to 3 days before the party, but it turned out to not be enough." So, she then admitted she KNEW she over invited and deliberately did not tell me! Ok, so now who's humiliated? She bad mouthed me to everyone.
I was furious. Sorry, Jen, NO MORE CAKE FOR YOU!!!
That's awful why would someone do that?!?!? That would definitely would not be an order I would take ever again! Sorry that happened to you @gscout73
i dont understand people sometimes that doesnt make any sense!!
Thank you, Webake2gether, this was someone who, up to that point, was very close and I would do anything for her. I made her a lovely cake, drove over an hour to deliver to a party to which I was not able to attend, meaning I had another hour+ drive home. She could not understand why I no longer considered us friends.

Sounds like she did you a favor by alerting you to how self-centered and spoiled she is. Now you can avoid her!
90% of the time when I'm sensing red flags it for a good reason and it's usually from having learned the hard way and sometimes not even my fault lol. Ive had past friends and even an in law that every time I did them a favor somehow I would end up the bad guy. It's like whoa I just totally sacrificed my time/money/effort and your mad what in the world lol. I don't talk to them "friends" anymore bc I wised up after a really bad ordeal (it's stupid really lol) and I avoid my in law at all costs when it comes to helping out or doing something together bc In the end I get burned.
gscout that's a horrible story -- how in the world could she find any fuel to bad mouth you -- so sorry -- sounds like your friend/client was a little off maybe or something? at least you dodged any further bullets but that one was miserable -- wow -- she generated the whole thing --
reminds me of a time when i was asked to bring a cake for a sunday school event -- then i found out another girl was asked to bring one as well so i declined because then it's a competition, one was bound to be better than the other and no es bueno -- we were all members of the class -- woulda been awkward
yeah - I had to explain why to my organizer and she seemed clueless- no es bueno
