re: Your artistic vision vs. client's budget

I agree with Xclusive and Jennifer. Of course you want to create an amazing cake but you don’t want to keep dishing out more than the customer is paying for. I’m learning (as I still go overboard mostly) and have created a New Challenge for myself which is to create a beautiful cake based on the customers budget. So I ask their budget first then discuss their concept, if it’s something grand I encourage them to get smaller tiers if they just want a display cake and maybe cupcakes or something. From now on that’s my goal and challenge as an artist. To really be successful at it (to me) would be to master the art with the little I’m given. Most times tho’ I don’t mind doing extra, I guess it’s just innate for us all. It’s something you’re passionate about…
