spent 5+ hours crafting this cake for my friend’s baby’s baptism reception at a local restaurant. I brought it inside the church so it wouldn’t melt in the car. The very kind usher took it to keep it safe in the kitchen… you can see what’s about to happen…

They served it to the congregation before my friend even saw it 🤬😭😭

I made a second simpler cake and brought it to her later that day.

Lesson learned: don’t bring a cake to church if you aren’t going to serve it at church

    WTH! Who serves a cake without instructions to do so? I would have cried! Good save on your part! Both cakes are beautiful!

    Both cakes are beautiful and congratulations to the parents, godparents and little one on what I’m sure was a lovely baptism ceremony.

    I hope the congregation enjoyed the accidentally served cake, I’m sure both cakes tasted delicious.

    I would be expecting some apologies and reimbursement for that first cake.

    Wow you made another whole cake? That’s so sweet of you. I would’ve showed them the photo and said sorry lol

    Both are so beautiful! And you’re such a nice friend. I actually like the second the most, so I think it turned out well after all!

    Oof…. I’ve experienced my share of the saints that ain’t when it comes down to dessert and after service events 🤦🏾‍♀️ lol. That’s crazy they ate that without her and you’re sweet for baking another cake for her! 🫶🏾

    Bit confused.
    Did they serve it to everyone who was there for the service, before your friend saw it?

    If it’s in the church refrigerator without a note, it’s fair game

    I’m so sorry that happened! I would’ve been so angry. You did a beautiful job on both and I’m sending hugs your way. I hope your friend was okay.
