Thanks. I agree. Going back to Hobby Baking is a good plan. I never really intended to start a business, it just kinda happened, now it is out of hand for what I can handle working out of my house. Thank you for your comments.

I don't do this for money, but I do understand business...TAKE CONTROL of your business. Treat it like a business, get a contract, make them sign it...no last minute changes...payment in full BEFORE delivery, put a rush fee on last minute orders, remember that not everyone is your customer...and sometimes just say NO!!!<br />
<br />
You are not a doormat for everybody's chocolate cake covered shoes...but they will wipe their cake crumbs all over you if you let them.<br />
<br />
Sit down and evaluate what you…

Sit down and evaluate what you are really getting out of the business vs. what you are giving up...maybe you just want to go back to hobby baking...for the love of it...<br />
<br />
just some things to think about...hth<br />

Sherry I would give them a deadline…tag:cakeswebake.com,2010-07-20:4635016:Comment:1020192010-07-20T19:39:17.328ZTheresa Happehttps://cakeswebake.com/profile/TheresaHappe
I would give them a deadline for making changes. Otherwise you'll have to charge them for any decorations already made that you can't use. Complaining about the price - I've got a few choice words for them, but I'll behave. Explain to them what they are paying for when they order a custom cake. If they don't "get" it, they can go to Walmart.
