re: How do you feel???

It honestly doesn’t bother me when people go somewhere else; sometimes it’s actually a relief. You do wind up in that awkward “we’re friends, but this is business” kind of discussions. Don’t get me wrong, I have gifted lots of cakes (including wedding cakes), so I am a good friend. FYI, anytime I “gift” cake to someone, I let them pick and design the cake before I announce the gift. Sometimes people get ambitious when they know it won’t cost them anything. Holding off until the end allows me to decide on what I’m willing to “spend” for the gift. If you pick a $500 wedding cake – Congratulations, cake’s on me! If you pick out a super detailed $2000 wedding cake? Congratulations, I’m going to knock $500 off as my present to you!
