Thank you all so much for your replies! I think I will definitely start drawing up a contract and ask for a deposit before hand. This way when it comes down to it if they decide they don’t want to contact me back or cancel at the last minute then at least im not out all the time and money for supplies. Luckily she contacted me back the night I posted this and apologized saying she had just been busy with work and her kids and that she still wanted the cake. I told her that I would have to alter the design slightly so that I could ensure it was done by her party and she agreed to it so I agreed to do the cake but let her know that I would need to know further in advance next time. So hopefully I wont hit anymore hiccups with this order! Thank you all so much for the help! I have finally come up with a plan to prevent this from happening in the future. Im also going to come up with a better way to price my cakes- because Im barely doing it at cost now and I believe that I am undercutting myself pretty badly!
Thank You All!
