I just feel bad, you know. I mean, the cake she DID get was delicious, but the cake I kept was even better. Everyone knows the tears of a bride are the best spice of all.
My fiance agrees with you on the brides and cakes. When he was working as an Assistant Pastry Chef many moons ago, they had this one bride come in and change her cake design at least six times. All within a week of the wedding. And we're talking complete overhauls, they couldn't keep anything from the previous designs, not even the cake flavor. The chefs finally got pissed off enough that they decided that revenge is a dessert best served...salty. They changed the sugar content to a salt content instead.
Best way to go about it? Probably not. But, damn, did they feel justified.
How generous of you! I'd have made the fee 75 or 100%. Maybe even more. Nobody insults my cooking and gets away with it, however accurate it might be, especially not when I'm doing this as a favour!
I applaud your actions, and laugh hysterically at Bridezilla!

The raccoon did not, in fact, appreciate his (or her?) cake; maybe it was too sweet. I left it a raw egg instead, which was accepted. I'd be offended, but what the hell does a raccoon know about moist cake anyway? Watched me suspiciously from the edge of the yard. I'll take the fact that he hasn't given me rabies yet as a sign of gratitude, though.
Personally, I find cleavage very helpful. In a crime-fighting sense.
Dang! I want some cake now! Frosting-y goodness....mmmmm... Anyways, you are much too generous with giving her any of the cake. I would have gone with the "don't like it, I'm not giving it to you. So there. Now out. out you go."
My mom had a pretty cake at her reception(about 3 mos after wedding). White and purple 3-tier cake with Precious moments figures on top. And it was tasty too. Had 3 pieces.

So how do we nominate a story to join the ranks of the War Stories? This one has my nomination. Pure classic.

Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Either/or. The important part is explain exactly why you think it's such a special story. Read over the criteria laid out in the War Stories forum. If you don't say why, we won't consider it. After all, you can't be bothered, why should we?
