Today, at work, a customer cried because the cake I made her was not "exactly" the same as the display. I'm the one who made the display and it was the same but the display cake had faded a bit, since it had been there for a month. I'd mentioned this to the customer when she placed the order. FML

Fads are so weird. First people were wearing faded jeans and now they want faded cakes too? SMH

Sell her the display cake... It's obviously as bright as she is.

Maybe she's under the impression that cake ages like a fine wine..

Wine aged = better Cake aged = disgusting and molded to hell

I don't like making the thumbs up an even number but I had to thumbs up your comment.

And that was a waste of commenting space #20. Aged cake- not very good

Or perhaps a fine sort of cheese, but definitely not cheesecake.

It's the holidays, everyone goes insane. Tell her she should have ordered it a month ago. Good luck, OP!

The customer is not always right. But we all apparently have to pretend they are to keep the business going

when I started my job, I had to watch a video and it said "the customer isn't always right, but the customer always has to win"

Well getting her to accept that should be a piece of cake, then. Since she's crying even though she's already been warned.

How does she expect you to exactly replicate a cake you made a month ago?

Not to sound like the bad guy, but if she wanted the cake to look like the display one, why didn't you just make it in a faded colour? (I'm assuming that the colour was the icing, rather than the cake itself).

I'm willing to bet the display cake is dried out and that is a hard look to capture with fresh new cake.

She said she explained it to the woman when she placed her order. That's a pretty ridiculous thing to cry about
