I started this blog as a fun release for us bakers and so far everyone has been very encouraging and supportive! But there have been a few who have been rude and negative and that's not gonna fly with this Bitchy Baker! It's people like them who we end up writing about. Negative people who take the time to respond to my email just to be rude.
"I want no affiliation with your blog what so ever!"
"Don't contact me again!"
Really! Duck you! If you aren't interested, just delete my email and move on with your life! Seriously!! Honestly, its supposed to be fun! If you don't want to share your stories, totally fine. You can just read and laugh along or never visit at all. There's no point in being hurtful and discouraging! I realize we need all types to make the world go round but I think we can do without your kind!
Sorry fellow BB's I needed to get that off my chest!

I See $125
Oh this story had me so mad on behalf of my fellow Bitchy Baker. It's crazy to me that all of your shared stories get me just as angry as if it happened to me! We Bitchy Bakers have to stick together :-)
So, one of my BB's emailed me this conversation between her and this arrogant bitch...
She attached a picture of a very detailed carved animal cake that was perfectly done that she wanted this BB to replicate with only a weeks notice.
She tells her that she is available and that that particular cake would be $250+ tax, but that she would have to pay the deposit by the next day since she requires at least 7 days notice.
This was her reply... I don't think you are ready for this... go ahead and get your angry face on...I'm serious, do it...
$250? REALLY? I was thinking $125, where are you seeing $250?
Oh Shit, Bitch Betta Run!
______________________________________________
BB's Final thoughts as well as the rest of the cake baking world:
I'm glad she sees $125 I wonder what she'll see when I punch her in the mouth... "Oh, I saw a hi-5! Shit my tooth fell out!!"
That's right bitch! Now you wanna pay my price!! Haha

I Am Groom, Hear Me Roar!
This is from a fellow Bitchy Baker:
My least favorite couple, as I recall, contacted me to set up a cake tasting. They wanted to taste several specialty cakes that I make from scratch and other cakes with out of season fruits in them. Trying to be as accommodating as I could, I made several of the cake samples for them, but not all of their requests.
When the time for the tasting came about, the groom showed up early, to inform me that the bride would be along eventually, and the he and I should start talking about the wedding info now. He proceeded to grill me about my background, where I had gone to school, where I lived, and any number of unrelated items that were none of his business, and had nothing to do with his wedding. I finally told him that I didn't usually go into my own background that much with anyone, and that I had a college degree as well as pastry chef credentials, so lets talk about the cake.
After the bride finally arrived, they tasted the cake, he asked me dozens of questions about the cake samples, then went through my cake pictures and (he) selected a design with 8 or 9 individual cakes on free standing cake stands at different heights, with elaborate supports. He was a recent business graduate from a little community college with no credibility, and was out to prove to his fiancé that he was tough. He asked me if I charged for delivery, and I said I did, so he said he would set the cake up himself (even though he never saw a wedding cake in person, and knew nothing about setting one up). He then complained about the contract, and scoffed when I told him the cake had to be paid for in full several weeks before the wedding. After the tasting, as I was about to leave, the bride took me aside and said,"He's just trying to be a good businessman." When I got back to my bakery, I emailed the bride that I would not be able to do their cake, and would mail them back the deposit check.
Making and delivering wedding cakes is difficult enough without having to deal with people like that. There isn't enough money in the world to induce me to make a cake for loonies like that.

BB's Final Thoughts:
AMEN and smart choice!! It is so ridiculous that he felt he had to prove his manhood at a time like this. Your wedding is a time to be enjoyed not broken down like a serious business decision. If he really was a smart business man, than he should have appreciated that this BB had her shit together. Having a contract and asking for payment BEFORE the event are all great business on her part! Who the hell would make a $1,000+ order and not have payment before... you don't have to go to business school to know that shit asshole!
Oh No She Didn't!
As I mentioned before, my mom is a baker as well. She just received a very detailed email from a bride about her cake and all her "special" requests. The funny thing was... it was meant for another baker in the area! What's crazy to me, is that this idiot bride had to actually type in her email address in and then in the message part put the other bakers name. What the duck!!
So in the email she actually said to whoever the email was truly meant for... "I don't want my cake to be dry, are your's dry?"
--BB thought inserted here: Uh yes, they are super dry, that's why I'm still in business today after years of cake making and the amazing reputation that I've built for myself as one of the top bakers in the area, because my cakes are dry bitch!
Anyways, my mom decides to respond to the email. Well, she actually wrote a few emails and had to erase most of them as they were not G rated.
So, she responds with I'm sorry I'm booked but you might want to check with ... (the baker that was listed in the message).
So she responds, "Oh, ok I sent the message to both of you"

BB's Final Thoughts:
Oh no she didn't!! She not only offends her by asking such a dumb question as "are your cakes dry" but she doesn't even take the time to send 2 separate emails! I think she and that other baker should have sent a mass email to all the bakers in the area warning them about this girl so that they all could have been booked! Eat that dry cake bitch!

I'm Lost
Ring ring ...
Caller: Yea, where are you at I'm trying to find u?
Well, I work by appt only.
Caller: I want to come taste cakes cause I want my baby shower cake.
How many servings?
Caller: 10-15 servings
I'm sorry I only do consults for wedding cakes or orders over $300 as I am a private baker and would never be able to get my orders done if that weren't the case.
Caller: I still wanna come talk to you, give me your address.
You can come by this afternoon at 4 and I'll have to give you directions because GPS will not work.
Caller: Well I'm not good with directions.
Well, if you write them down can you be good with them?
Caller: I'll call u back
WTH!!!!!! Hate her
_______________________________
BB's Final Thoughts,
Being as you believe the world totally revolves around you and your fetus, by all means come and interrupt her day to talk about the smallest cake she probably makes. Which I'm sure you will think is too expensive. So, I went ahead and programmed this GPS with the address to our local Walmart. Best wishes and congrats on the new baby, I hope you can find your way to the hospital!

50/50 Chance
Oh, the infamous billboard face that some might say I was blessed and cursed with...
When I meet my brides for consults, I have a consult sheet that I fill out with all the information of the wedding such as date, venue, style of cake etc as I am sure most of you do. Well, we get down to the flavor portion of what she would like for her cake and her mother said, "You do know that we aren't necessarily going with you!"
Total shut down... get the duck outta my sight bitch, I hate you! Yes, I'm not an idiot. I know that when I meet with my brides, that I might not necessarily be the one that you choose, but to spit that comment at me like that, it's a waste of my time. I'm sorry I am being detail oriented and asking all the questions I need to ask so that when you do decide to book me, I don't have to deal with your dumb ass self again because I will have all the information I need to make your cake. As a matter of fact, you can take your ugly ass cake with no personality, creativity, or vision to the grocery store bakery and enjoy, because I won't necessarily be making your cake!!!
