One of the cakes I did was ordered for 11;00 am. I figured I would get started on it after my first break which is at 8. About 10 minutes before I was ready to go on break a woman comes to the deli counter and says she's there to pick up her cake. The deli manager told her I hadn't started on it yet. Apparently she thought that since she was in the store early for other things she was just going to get the cake then. Um, hello. If you want it at 8 order it for 8.

Lovely cake Ann and hopefully your customer appreciated the fact she was getting a FRESH cake at 11:00 rather than one that had been decorated the day before! Deb xo
Roses for Rosa! It is beautiful!!! I love it when you show the pretty things you bake! Which is rarely. You have a talent for this!
It's a beautiful cake. People are funny, aren't they? She should have been pleased that it was made fresh!
You are very talented.
The cake you made is beautiful! I love the roses :)
Now this makes me hungry for cake. Unfortunately I have no cake and it's 6 a.m. right now. I'll just have to use my imagination and look at the picture.
That is a gorgeous cake. Silly woman, did she not want a fresh cake??? Anyway, she did get a great cake.
They are so lucky to have such a creative, artistic person working for them. I hope the woman appreciated that she was going to be getting a 'fresh' cake not something that had been sitting around...
She may have had to come back again, but I know she was happy with that very pretty cake. You're right . . . they could have ordered it for 8 just as well as 10 and you would have had it ready at 8. Would have love to seen the other two, too.
Have a happy weekend.
Connie :)
That is a beautiful cake!
Pretty cake and yes if you want the cake at 8 then you need to make the pickup at 8. Fresh trumps everything. I like that. That cake is also beautiful.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
Oops...big hug to you and tons of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Omg...people are getting dumber by the day! [Pretty work ann]
WOW! That is beautiful!! You do such amazing work!
People don't think that there is actual work to making things for them. We are all so used to instantaneous satisfaction and results...with no thought about the work that goes into things.
When I was making quilts, people would ask if I sold them. I always said no. People don't want to pay for high quality fabrics and handwork--they want fast and cheap. No respect for quality.
