re: How do you feel???

I think there are a lot of people who say baking cakes for family is really not all it’s cracked up to be and aside from the bridezilla to work with, family probably ranks right up there. If they are willing to pay, they always want more than you bargained for, or want to cut the order to save money, when you are already giving a discount. I haven’t had issues with my friends over cakes and cake charges. I’ve tried to just set it up from the start, I’m a business, doing business to make money. If i ever decide to give a discount, that’s up to me and I give it as a gift. But they aren’t to expect it. It does cost something for me to make the items, and there is some time involved. I have a customer who has two friends who make cakes. She and I aren’t friends other than our business relationship. When she has a special birthday cake she wants, she comes to me. I take that as a huge compliment. So maybe it’s that your friends have other friends who bake also and are trying to spread the love.
