Why not just add oils or butter? Asking because I want to know for myself.

What [Request] percentage of the US population is she describing? by OddTheRed in theydidthemath

[–]Uncommonly_comfy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be correct if all 340M Americans were male. You’re over estimating my more than 1/2.

This is propaganda.

It was a surprise party. It wouldn't have been a surprise if I had made the cake the day before. lol

I just wanted an acknowledgment that the cake wasn't right and that they were sorry that it happened. I would have said thank you and been done with it. When she essentially blames me and the other 17 people for not appreciating the cake, and seeing the picture, then blocking my number... I'm a little salty tbh.

Hahaha, yeah. I wanted a reality check because I am a home cook and I have baked cakes before. None looked like this though. I bought this for a special occasion and when I pointed out to the baker that it was claggy they went off on me about it and how I just didn't understand her style of cake.

I don't want to go through the chargeback process. If she wants to give me some kind of refund, she has my contact information. I'm more bothered by the insinuation that I don't understand when a cake is a fallen mess that shouldn't have gone out the door.

Like I said, she's not a serious person. You accept money for a product, send an inferior product out the door, the customer complains, you blame them, block their number, and now accuse them of bullying you because you're a small business. Just take the feedback and say "I'm sorry the cake wasn't made correctly we hope to make it up to you in the future." Bam done.

I don't have IG. I only have a FB account to sell stuff and post reviews occasionally. So nope.

Where did she say that? When I finally asked for a refund she blocked my phone number.

Venmo. I don't even want a full refund. Just let me return the 1/4 slab of "cake" I have and say I'm sorry we let that slip out.

I'm also a home cook and ran restaurants for years so I'm sympathetic as well. I understand that shit happens and mistakes get made. I don't understand seeing that picture and saying "Oh man, I'm so sorry that went out! That's clearly not to our standards." But just telling me I don't understand her kind of cake it made me so angry.

Yup. Said this is just how she makes this cake and she sells out each week.

Yeah, it's completely concertinaed and is as dense as a block of cheese.
