re: It's just cake !

Thats dreadful ! I have made several cakes over the years because I wanted to do it , also the practice is invaluable ! But I personally would never dream of asking for something specific and not be prepared to pay the going rate ! I have also been asked to make cakes as presents but would never give a “normal” present of such value !
Thanks so much for replying I am pleased I am not alone xx
