So I got rejected on another cake offer again. I'm feeling defeated here. What people don't realize is that I spend about 1/2 - 1 hour preparing for the quotes I give. So, I do all this research and then get excited about the project, therefore setting myself up for dissapointment. Then I wait a couple of days until I get an email back (if they are polite) to tell me they are going with another baker. Do they contact me just to see that they are getting a fair shake from their own baker? They lady didn't give me her budget or even give me the chance to see if I had any wiggle room on price, which sounds a bit fishy to me.
Here's a picture of the cake. First off, I am absolutely IN LOVE with this cake! This cake was featured in an international cake magazine as the top 10 rated cakes. AND I know I can recreate it, edible gum paste flowers and all! I gave her a a price of $3.50 a slice. I CHALLENGE anyone to get a better price for this wedding cake, let alone an international top 10 rated cake. Click here to view the all the pics from the magazine (To be honest, I would have gone way lower on the price -- even though I shouldn't--just so that I had an excuse to do it!)Does anyone know someone who would love this cake and would trust me to make it? I promise it would turn out amazing!!!!! Tell your friends.
