I Need to Stop Taking These Cake Orders 😫🤦🏽‍♀️ | Day in the Life of a Cake Business Owner

[@ahalveral1967]

We've been ghosted too many times at our bakery. We've finally gotten wise and require a deposit. No one has had an issue with this new policy. I love watching your videos. Your work is stunning!

[@maydaypayday2182]

Y’all I am one week in watching this young lady, and I just love her! She is a great storyteller. For some reason I said this is for a loved one ( last minute too 😂). Well, I can definitely relate because my only daughter and my oldest granddaughter does it to me all the time. 😅 It was a joy to watch. 🤗🥰

[@GrammaPatriot]

You crack me up…so fun to watch! Your mom must be so proud of you. Thanks for sharing your daily “ventures” with us. ❤️

[@TheStationBakery]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ginnylawson8533]

I hate to say this but…it not the cakes that have held my interest. It’s you and all the ways you are so honest about your work, family, advice, and expressing your feels. The cakes do look delicious and I like the buttercream frosting advice. God bless you, your family, and your business.

[@TheStationBakery]

Aww thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@AP-qk3we]

It’s your MOM that’s the difficult customer?! 😆 too funny. Can’t say no to mom ☺

[@JudiChristopher]

BUSINESS is BUSINESS.... And if a Mother is a good mother... they would be the BEST Customer!!! "Come on now!"

[@finni-h2x]

I wish my daughter didn't say no to me.. she bakes these wonderful pastries and I offer her ridiculous amounts of money for even 6...and its always a flat out nope...She says she doesn't have time...I gave you life! Make time!😂 Some people are gifted with the gift of bake and some like myself are not lol..

[@ToniH.-cn8uw]

​@@finni-h2x LoL. Love that... Turn on that Mom Guilt!! LoL jk!

[@finni-h2x]

@ToniH.-cn8uw haha whenever I can..I think they are on to me now tho..😂

[@gooey65]

Oh yes, I feel ya. My cake pan storage looks like that. Certain family members think I'm the Cake Fairy. Bless you for your big heart.

[@wandajackson4498]

Your cabinets look like mine, but we get it done! 🙏🏾🥰❤️👏🏾👍🏾

[@elkedrayton6057]

I am glad that my Family lives in Germany and my Husbands Family 2800 miles away from me, so no baking for them but I have to cook German Food when I get there and of course the cost is on us. My Husband tells me it's always a Gift no matter what it is.

[@itsmikkaa]

Your attitude during the last minute order was hilarious ! LMAO. Pursed lips the entire time. So sorry girl. I know you did it out of the goodness of your heart!

[@odiecutex3]

I'm going to start asking family members what cake flavor they want, bake, and freeze their cake a month in advance 😂

[@TheStationBakery]

That is such a smart idea. I think I shall do the same!

[@honeyandlavender_]

Now imagine them changing their mind a few weeks or days before the delivery 😭😭

[@brooklyndiva23]

I’ve had this happen. They changed their mind 3 times then cancelled. I don’t do orders anymore for this reason either.

[@CJ-zs1uh]

I like that device that you used to crumble the cookies, where can I purchase that?

[@JudiChristopher]

@@TheStationBakery ASK for 50% down first.... then Freeze the cake...

[@shauntaekelly6002]

I was like girl no until you said it was for your mom. LOL!!!! You betta get in that kitchen.

[@TheStationBakery]

😂😂😂 right!!!

[@DulcesSweets]

And she's not paying because she gave birth to you! LOL!

[@kaymill5565]

"Mom, I want to try." How much do I love this sweet little request!🥰

[@TheStationBakery]

🥰

[@JudiChristopher]

This is a BUSINESS... EVERYONE should RESPECT that especially Family & Friends... Ask for 50% down... for EVERYONE... Especially Family and Friends... they're the ones that will use you and hurt you first... "Come on now"....

[@roxiesolis157]

I knew it was for someone you love! Because we love them it’s ok to vent and fuss🤭 she’s a lucky lady❤❤❤

[@TheStationBakery]

Absolutely! 🥰

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

I just love your sense of humor 🤣 I can watch your videos all day and not get bored. Yeah, why do we do this to ourselves seriously??? I think it's just difficult to turn down an order, especially from a loved one!

[@TheStationBakery]

Most definitely! We love them so much so we do things out of the ordinary for them. And thank you!

[@Yondainc]

When I owned my studios I only accepted bookings with a no refundable 50% deposit. I did give them 72 hours to cancel. After 72 hours no refund.

[@bonniesbestcreations6817]

You are so so funny The cake looks so so good

[@louiselemon9717]

This is by far my favorite video!

[@TheStationBakery]

❤️❤️❤️

[@febiebayas5092]

Youre so good! I learned a lot watching you!

[@michellebottex7508]

Just stumbled on your page!!! The shelving above your refrigerator is what I want!!! I’m about to redo my whole kitchen and have the wasted space above the fridge and thought about doing just shelves and thought it might look weird… but yours looks so nice!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@Jerri-ellen]

The audacity hahaha you are a hoot.

[@debbiecritcher8436]

You are very talented. And a good daughter.

[@louiselemon9717]

[@anitadudley7607]

Oh, Moms will out that pressure on. They k ow we will do whatever it takes. Especially, since we make it look so easy as they see it.

[@adrianaflores714]

Family sometimes is the worse 😂😂 but I’d also do the same for my momma.

[@TheStationBakery]

Right! 😂

[@lorathompson5117]

I would love to try the pumpkin spice butter cake! Love your videos

[@littlelady3895]

I took on two orders, both gave plenty of notice, due same time, same day, at least I got both to meet at Same place.... Down fall? Got a friend who owns a restaurant. She was majorly short handed, started calling in friends.... I was the only one to answer.... 3 nights.... In which I should have been making my decorations but thought naw I got all day Monday and Tuesday.... I get get cakes and cupcakes baked, frosting mixed.... Today was supposed to be fill stack Frost and decorate.... Half way through the day I was half was through a cake, then dropped it in the floor..... 11.5 hrs it took to mix bake chill trim fill stack crumb coat frost decorate get pictures box up and decorate two pull apart cakes....

[@ShellyDurham-qp2cu]

Beautiful cake!! Awesome video!

[@mindypowers]

Hahaha!!!! You had me until you said it was your mom!! So funny!

[@anitadudley7607]

I had a catering business for five years. A friend and prof cake baker gave a great advice when I was starting out. Order must be paid in full within 14days of event. Or, u don’t have cake/food day of event. Food is perishable. If u want best quality ingredients u plan ahead to have those best products. Customer Has a change of plans, or in the case of a wedding, Good is the last thing that gets paid and they have overspent their budget. I have a lot of food on your hands. So pay yourself first cu I have spent a lot of time getting their Oreo items done way before payment otherwise. Pay u first.

[@Modelchickny]

Beautiful cake. Sorry it fell during the journey. What caused that and was it still eatable?

[@maryamabdulrehman8059]

😂 this was a nice down to earth video I've seen in a while

[@canadianchicky333]

Great video and cake. Did you wrap your cakes while they were warm still? Thanks

[@SuramaJusino]

Noooooooooo!!!!! Tell me it did not fall!!!! 😭😭😭

[@lindsayschlegel9601]

I only want to know why it took 12 hours? Just curious because I wouldn’t have thought it would take that long. 😱

[@bakingandbroadway]

I feel this video so much! XD though I charge my mom for my goods lol. he cake is beautiful, so sorry to see it fell on the journey, would a wooden skewer driven into the drum have helped? I refuse to do small, tall cakes like this because they just look so unstable.

[@TheStationBakery]

Pass them coins mama! 😂 thank you, I was so sad about it, but I guess that’s what happens when talk a lot of trash lol. Definitely a skewer problem. It didn’t go all the way through into the board and I knew it, but thought, oh it’s small it’ll be alright. And it probably would have if I was able to chill it before we left. We just turned it around to its good side for the party lol

[@BellaBeeBaby]

So you basically doctor up a box mix, and add other touches? I need to learn to do this, completely from scratch takes too much effort sometimes lol

[@CricketsBay]

Just for this cake for her mom. She doesn't do this for the cakes she sells.

[@honeyandlavender_]

Families and friends always wanting everything for free 😭😭

[@marciawynn9871]

I overstand totally , but I don't think that I can turn down my mother! That would be hard 😂

[@amour9027]

I'm 54 seconds in....You so funny 🤣...and your voice is too cute 😩

[@mhairicarr1861]

Im a new watcher but, just wondering how come you didn't properly ice the cake? Its beautiful and all but u could see the cake right through the icing on middle & bottom layers. Was it because u were "ticked off?" You look so professional and i can see u put love and dedication into your cakes. Just wondering 🤔

[@TheStationBakery]

Hi! 👋🏽 Welcome!! It’s a semi naked cake, so it’s meant to be partially iced.

[@tiffanyc8307]

You had me fooled it was for your mom, I hate when you want to try new recipes and mom be like no stick to the basics lol

[@anitadudley7607]

She guilted u girl, we r so alike. And, we must have the same Mom. Lol. 😂

[@cakerbaker9965]

How much of each Lorann emulsion did u use for the one box mix? I saw the recipe listed on your insta, but the amounts weren’t listed there either… Also, is your original recipe, the one u said you usually make, available?

[@TheStationBakery]

It’s to taste because I didn’t measure 🫣😂 I pour with my heart. Maybe try a teaspoon of each

[@cakerbaker9965]
