Death becomes the icing..
So it's been a while since i've last posted about anything.. well it's been an interesting rollercoaster ride at work lately. Everything from Thomas the train to the evil dead cakes to cupcakes.. I have had so much work to do in the past few weeks that it's made me quite tired and also partially lost my "want" to be a decorator.
I love cakes but sometimes it's just too much work with no "Thank you's" or "that looks awesome!" Well I take that back.. there are some "thank you's" but for every one of them there is always some asshole who will complain. I have had quite a few of those lately! You would almost think that I don't understand my clientele by the few complaints i've had in the past two weeks. I had a lady that wanted her money back for a full sheet cake because it didn't have the "wow factor" that she was looking for. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!

This is the cake the customer complained about
If you were watching Michelangelo scupt an amazing statue, would you walk up to him and say that you think it's hideous and that it doesn't have enough pizaz? If you put yourself in those shoes you will understand how I felt.
For every one person that hates the cake, there are at least 4 others that rave about it!
Customer 1:
Customer 2:
Customer 3:
Customer 4:
To that one customer I say that she's rude and cheap.. I will never make a cake for her again if she comes into my store. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Sounds about right, gotta learn to be happy with 5% positice responses and realize some will love it, some will like and some won't and that's okay. It's not you. It's them.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job. We enjoy watching your creativity in your work. Keep up the good work and don't let others bring you down.. If you could have done it better she wouldn't have ordered it from you. Thats just my opinion!! By the Way why haven't you signed up to follow my blog yet :P Miss you. There is a lot of drama happening at your old place of employment these days. You should be glad you got out!!
