I had a big quinceanera cake to prepare for, together with another purse cake and 90 pieces cupcake discs with it. This was the first sketch:
...and this was the end result:)
I was pressed for time but I made it. I was in high heaven. They were gorgeous if I say so myself:) In between making these lovely cakes, I was also making a toy story bed cake with cupcakes.
My client was a little disappointed with the size of the cake for the money she paid. I showed her a similar picture from the internet, and gave her a quote. My mistake was not following through with our conversation about how big she wanted the cake. That was my fault. I should have made it clear to her what she should be expecting. I am more attentive to my clients than that. I can not say how sorry i am for her disappointment. But I did my best and I did what I know was right.
I know that with this business, I won't be able to make everyone happy. I shouldn't take it personally. I love what I do and it is personal to me. But I have to learn how to separate business from becoming personal. This person upset me because she went on and on about how awful I was. But I'll take this as a learning experience, and I'm moving on.
Again, I am thankful to my family, friends, and followers who are constantly supporting me. All I want to gain from this job is to see how happy my clients are when they see the art that I made.
