its clearly a common problem and agree with the thread, we all have a desire to please everyone and not let anyone down or say no. We aim to please and are in the happy industry of bringing pleasure to others, that is why its so hard… I still find it hard to say no, especially friends and family, they are the hardest. but no matter how busy I am , my grand-kids and my cousins boys never go without a cake from me. my sons and hubby are really understanding and supportive actually and always happy to get a plain and delicious, undecorated cake from me. I also find it hard to say no, when im asked to do a cake I find particularly exciting to do, but slowly coming to realise that its just not possible to take on every single order… and collaboration too as Im now having to say no to these exciting projects too with other demands in the cake orders and teaching arena.
Great discussion Lizzie, glad you raised it :)
