Has anyone come across this news story?  Sounds like there's quite an interesting back story to it!

oh my gosh--the nerve of a genuine party pooper--

 

there was a case in west memphis arkansas i beleve it was where a chick got jail time for putting exlax in the icing and got peeps sick--this is bad but it could be worse--

 

this is the worst manners in the world--

 

talking about doing this sure--making one to get out frustration with leftover cake or something yeah maybe--but to deliver it in sucha sneaky way--horrid

 

i'm so torn--i'm trying to be horrified but it's ridiculously funny

 

edited to say--exlax is a brand of laxative

From what I read, the customer already owed the cake maker money for other services and hadn't paid her.  Then the customer shows up with a cake voucher for $50 and wanted a cake for that price even though she still owed the baker money.  The baker gave her a $30 cake because the client asked for Chocolate and was not specific about the style. lol   Something to that effect.

This is what the baker posted on her FB:

 

Clients been ****ing me around and I've had a guts full so guess what they get! 

Don't be stupid and ask for photos (with a CAKE voucher you won) get angry at me when I have to cancel because of the weather.... reschedule the next day.... don't show up and make some lame arse excuse about sending a message and making a call to my cell (bull****!!) then demand a $50 cake with the voucher - then remembering you owe me $20 for travel to take your family photos in the first place.... your left with a $30 voucher and you want a cake still?? ok cool - give me some ideas?? - oh wait you have none apart from wanting chocolate, I have a brilliant idea for your cake!!!! - so here it is your turd cake! Hope you learn your lesson.

AAlso of note is that the baker is a self-described hobbyist and apparently does not run a business.

That was in very poor taste.

Although it's perfect for women who are sleeping with someone else's husband….

what's awful is the honoree at the event was not even a participant in the deal gone bad--she just happened to be the sister --

 

this could have been pretty funny but that's the wrong way to right a wrong

 

cakedom's flag is flying at half mast--not cool

 

and basically over twenty bucks or something? smh

This was done in very poor taste.  The baker may claim to be a hobbyist but she is selling cakes and issuing vouchers so it is a business; may not be a legal business but a business none the less.  Maybe she will give more thought to her marketing strategy and stop issuing vouchers, then it would be as simple as not providing the customer with a cake until she is paid up.  Of course then there is the other side of me that thinks the cake was done really well. :sssh:

Great publicity for the business (hobby) owner.

Who opens a cake box After everyone arrives? not likely. smells fishy.

AI'm generally prone to finding stuff like this hilarious, and this is no exception. I personally wouldn't let someone get me that riled up to do that, but it's freaking hilarious.
