Well... today started off well... and then, I was handed a bomb.
An "I'm unhappy with your cake" bomb.
And now, I'm bummed. Sigh...
I don't do a lot of "extra" baking. I'm not a big fan of baking cakes for my friend's kid's birthday or my Uncle's best friend's brother's retirement party. I put too much pressure on myself and compare myself to what they do in beautiful bakeries.
So, when I do make cakes, I put a lot of extra hard work into them and it really bums me out when they are unclear of what they want and then are disappointed that it didn't meet their expectations.
I am NOT a bakery! I didn't charge you an arm and a leg!
Grrrrr!
Ok.. Venting over. We can move on to these Jelly Danishes.
Doesn't that look yummy? It was!
And better than that, it was super easy.
These would be an easy Valentine's Day Breakfast treat. You don't have to get up too early to make these before everyone goes running off to school and work.
Or, this would make a yummy after school snack for your little loves.
I could go for one of these right now.
A Danish to feed my hurt feelings. A warm, jelly filled, delicious Danish.
Yes.
That would make everything better.

I'm sorry that you had to deal with that. I'd be hurt too. That's why I don't make baked goods commercially. I don't take rejection well. Eat a danish for me while you are at it.

Well these just look heavenly! And who the heck could be unhappy with anything you make??!! You are amazing! Eat a danish - that will make you feel better =o)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Karyn. I hate that - and that's why doing cakes freaks the heck out of me. I'm sure it was amazing!

Yummy crescent roll bundles for hurt feelings sounds good! I always worry about that very thing when I do cakes for orders...it totally freaks me out every time someone picks one up!!! Hope you are having a better day!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had a disappointed "customer". That's never fun, especially when you feel like you are trying to help them out and do them a favor. I'm sure your cake was wonderful and that particular person had unrealistic expectations! I mean, tell her to look at your blog. Clearly you are a baking genius. :) Hope the rest of the week gets better for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I hope you stop by to link this week- http://atozebracelebrations.com/2013/02/link-party-6.html

I think we need to be compassionate toward those who are crazy. And I am guessing that anyone who would complain about a cake you made is truly crazy :) I made your adorable birthday cake cake pops for my son's birthday (20 for his age and 1 for good luck) and mailed them. He was thrilled. I was thrilled. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteoh no... so sorry that someone didn't appreciate what you had made. Pinning these danishes :o) I host a Tuesday link party that I would LOVE for you to come check out. http://www.nap-timecreations.com
