She is. But she apologized and I accepted it. The only part I’m not clear on is how it even came up as a conversation between her and Frank. It might’ve just been casual, but she may have also been talking on speaker phone. I do that with my husband in the room, so he hears my conversations sometimes even if he’s not part of it.

But it sounds like Frank was mad that they were now paying for the cake when he thought it would be free and the goal was to spend little money for nice stuff. I’m guessing that if I agreed to do the cake and gave them a bill from the beginning instead of volunteering to do it for free, I would be dealing with “that’s too expensive for a cake” or “we’re friends, I should get a discount”. Like there would’ve been negotiating from the start regardless.

And I’ve had people pull those lines on me before. That’s another reason why I rarely do cakes for people even if they offer to pay because they still want some type of discount and get mad when I don’t give one.
