So I made this lovely cake today and the customer yelled at me for the price of the cake(for photo toy cakes they went from 47.99 to 50.99) she got upset because she thought it going to be there samw price as a plain regular order cake around 35 bucks. Lady refused argued and stole the cake. Couple hours later had a family or friend to order cupcakes which where due tomorrow. This never happened to me before but like I didn't. I don't Make the price and she never asked for the price as well(which she try to blame me for) now for future orders i have to take the cake to the register myself so they customer will pay… other than that getting ready for the first game

Id be super mad about the writing on the cake if I was paying for this cake
Im not being critical the writing is pretty but its in the wrong order shouldnt it be “Happy 5th Birthday Harper” instead of “Happy Birthday 5th Harper”?
What
I think you’re talking about the first cake and then something about the football cake. What are the other two cakes for?
Do you work in a grocery store? If the customer steals cakes why is that your problem to have to go to check out? When I pick up a cake from the grocery store they just give it to me to go on my merry way. Plus my store has cooler cakes that anyone can pick up at any time. Theft is security’s problem, not yours.
I wouldn’t pay for these cakes let alone steal them.
I have a young daughter and the writing alone would make me want the cake for free birthday parties are expensive and important
The third cake is cute!
Sorry you’re getting downvoted so much after a bad day. Even with the words in the wrong order they look good! The other cakes look great!
u/Casuallyperusing yes I am. Born this way. Deafblindness is a spectrum not complete blindness and deafness some even drive with limitations. I have friends eho are deaf blind that is a carpenter other fo iron work. Which is obviously more dangerous then cake decorating. One is a nurse as well
I’d be furious. It’s not a good cake.
Sorry you’re getting downvoted to oblivion, as a former grocery store decorator I feel for you. While the writing is off, I don’t think people know that the ugly design is because decopac makes some butt ugly designs 😭 I’m also guessing that whoever took the order didn’t go over the up-charge for the designs.
But yeah, your writing seems pretty solid. I would just mark this as a lesson learned on not doing ombré lettering and having someone look at what you plan on writing before you pull the trigger on it. Other than that just hope that decopac gets rid of its godawful squiggle borders and random line thing they have going on.
The irony of this post title
Regardless of how the cake looks, people are kinda treating you like shit in the comments. A bad looking cake isn’t the issue, a customer stole goods, regardless of how it looks, something was taken without compensation or a chance to fix how it looks.
I grocery decorated for roughly 5 years, and I always told the customer the price when they ordered. We also had order sheets that had a carbon copy on the back we would tear off and give to the customer and I made everyone in the bakery write prices down always. It’s not your job to run cakes up to the register as the decorator. It should be one of your bakery clerks.
If the price changed between the customer ordering and picking up though, which sometimes happened, I would make sure the front of the store would honor the older price because it was written on their order slip.
Unfortunately, theft happens. It’s not your fault so don’t let it get to you too bad.
I wouldn’t have stolen it, but I would not pay for this. Absolutely not.
They are grocery store cakes and I think they are fine! The chocolate one looks good
I hope the other 4 Harpers had a nice birthday too.
jesus christ. get a new job, you are terrible at this.
Are you sure she didn’t just take the cake and hide it in a different aisle in the store so as to not hurt your feelings? Then have a friend reorder some cupcakes so she’d still have something for the party?
Yall are wild in the comments😂 this person works at a grocery store. Looks like sheet cake so it’s not small and the price isn’t bad. If you want a perfectly decorated cake go to a bakery that specializes in that. Dear lord.
