If only people knew the labor of every large order they requested
I don’t sell anything very often if at all, I just like to bake. But I made just over 100 cake pops today, I haven’t even finished them yet and it took me over 5 hours.. then I got told that $100 seemed too high for them all. I still have atleast an hour of decorating them left. I’m still new so figuring out everything takes me longer especially since I usually only do cakes and cupcakes, but I feel like that’s a fair amount.
I would’ve kept her because she was honest. So many consumers accept unacceptable products to avoid conflict when in reality, conflict resolution should be practiced. If she was rude, sure but if she wasn’t happy, she had a right to say she wasn’t.
Anyhow, your channel is amazing, I’ve learned a lot by watching. Thanks for sharing
A little more backstory with the order in the story: the customer only asked me for the character itself, but did not specify any details. The black outline was simply a creative choice and unfortunately it did not go well! I always learned to ask for specifics down to the last minute detail after that one. Running a baking business (or any business!) is all about continually learning and streamlining.
EDIT TO ADD:
*I did not refuse to take another order again from the customer; they simply didn't order again--which quite frankly is understandable! Their critique helped me be clearer in my future communications as I mentioned above. I should have been more clear in my delivery of that in the first place, but I had no idea this particular short would garner so much attention, but I'm grateful for the views so thank you :).
*I baked these cupcakes from scratch and I bake all of my products from scratch. Someone donated a ton of these boxes to me which is why I'm using them up. They were useful for sending guests home with the extras.
Side note: my hair looks like this because I was getting ready for the wedding ;)
Perhaps consider getting a worksheet and making them give details and both signing off with a 50% deposit, or more.
People are gonna not remmber what they want and they will jerk you around!
The bitchie….
Everyone has to start somewhere!
This is my first video! I can tell ya thst if you’ve ever had your own business. (Have you?)
Thst it’s a big leaning curve. How about some constructive criticism? Which is what I’ve given to her in another comment.
Beautiful product and she redid the order and ….
What if we had no small businesses? Do you think your local supermarket would care?!?! Get your cakes from there, perhaps.
Thank you for the clarification, but many people will not see this… and yet maybe that will increase your interactions on this video
If she never ordered again why word it like she did?
I'm seeing a lot of comments hating on the customer, but the baker fully admitted that her product wasn't consistent and had multiple flaws at the time. As a baker, it hurts to hear when someone is disappointed with your work, but when you charge a customer for something and then don't deliver on previous expectations that you've set then you just have to suck it up, wipe your tears, and try again. I've had to do it before and it was my own fault.
The baker in this video seems to understand and acknowledge that she had some issues with consistency at the time. So please y'all: there's no need to get defensive and hate on customers for politely advocating for themselves or expressing discontentment with something they paid money for.
Those are the most simple yet most beautiful cupcakes I have ever seen.
I also make cupcakes and it's so appreciated to have respectful customers ❤
At least a literal bear didn’t steal and eat 60 cupcakes right as you loading them for delivery.
Omgg NO!!!!
I was the bear
No bro 😭
Id ☠️☠️☠️
There’s no wayyy omg🫣
The cupcakes are gorgeous
Just a tip... I worked in a bakery. When u have alot of those plastic containers, place the bottoms in the top. That way they are closer together and u can put more on the table. Then simpley flip the first flap down and u can go straight down the line.
I just put a horror story in the comments about this very thing:).
You don't work at a bakery. Stop telling people what you do on RUclips thinking we should believe you.
Facts on not taking an order from her again lol
eh, client pays for satisfaction.
I don’t think you should’ve not accepted orders from the customer anymore. It was definitely a learning experience & a growing pain for your business. Imagine if she lied about how she felt. You wouldn’t of realized you needed to be more detailed when taking specific orders. Critique is to make things better. ❤
Yea, I was confused about that part too. Maybe there is more to the story bc the customer can have an opinion about the end result. Maybe she was rude about it 🤷🏾♀️.
@@jujubeesmama true, if she was rude then that definitely is a great reason
Unless they were hideous, which I doubt from this baker, the customer was essentially complaining Ashleigh didn’t read her mind. Avoiding overly demanding clients is often good business sense.
I agree! The customer shouldn't be pushed away because she told the truth! It actually helped the baker! Thats the rude part, she wouldn't let her order anymore!!!
You can’t please every one you can only do your best & some customers are very rude so I do not blame her for not taking orders from this customer again
I’m sure that was hard, but you persevered and now have some great experience and look at those beautiful cupcakes!!😊😄
Oh my god, the cream on top of the cookies look so good. The color and the shape are 💋💖 chef kiss
Thank you for the inspiration and motivation ❤
Looks so beautiful
You poor thing, people can be confounding things to deal with. Every time I see these (beautiful) rose cupcakes I remember putting 60 cupcakes on the lid of clear boxes with the base forming a sort of dome. Very pretty and effective. Until someone flipped them all upside down because they thought the lid belongs on top. Must be 15 years and I’m still lost for words.
Keep your head faith and spirit held high
Gorgeous cupcakes!
I love it when everything goes smoothly!!
We need to see photos of those cookies
Honesty hurts but is a great learning experience. It is all in the delivery. However, I would’ve kept her business if she wasn’t rude. It was her money and you shouldn’t want to give them less than your best even if it hurt. Our eyes get over over worked and minds overwhelmed. Outside input is a need sometimes.
So beautiful!!!!
Sorry need to say it directly, because i was just like…wow!!!!
It’s always stressful 😢but it comes out so beautiful
They looked fine to me, it's going right in our stomach
Gorgeous Cupcakes as always Ashleigh. 😃
I love your honesty.
To make it quicker as u open pne try put the next tray in the lid of the open one ull get 2 times as many trays on the table
Get a pair of tongs for the decorations to make it easier to place things like pearls,beads,etc. No accidentally hitting the frosting!❤
I don't really get what the customer did wrong, she didn't like your recent work and made you aware of that?
Well, I'm so impressed with you all eno have this talent. Those on this video look adorable. I would be unable to eat them because they're too cute!!🥰❤
Good luck on your journey
Girl I just spend over a week some of the nights staying up until 3am making graduation leis for my daughters kindergarten class and so help me god if anyone complains. 😂
I think your cup cakes are beautiful. The customer should be very specific when ordering. Bakers are not mind readers.
Perfect!congratulations
Thats not easy.
I never took a order from her again. You seem to have done very well.🎉🎉🎉
Omg them chocolate ones look so good
those cupcakes are beautiful
They look amazing 😍
Beautiful!!! I dont understand how anyone could not love them!!!
so elegant!
You go girl ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Are those pearls soft on the teeth? I love how they look...but....some of them are so hard!!!
Unfortunately they’re a little rough on the teeth! I like it when I can find the chocolate type, but no dice this time
Wait a minute!! You use a projector to make your cookies?? Do you have a video showing this? I'm subbing, I'm interested in learning new things and this video made me feel like I'm not alone! Many youtubers who do cake videos always make it look as though everything goes smoothly and they never have a problem! At least i know it's just not me. I was baking for 3 years and then stopped for 2 years because i broke my right arm badly and now I'm going back to baking in the last year!
I did a beautiful job i love it❤️
It seems to me, starting the frosting with the cc farthest away from yourself and moving towards yourself would be smarter.
that is my biggest fear!!! i’m glad there was enough time to remake them for her but unless they actually looked bad i think it was pretty rude of her!
It’s not rude, people pay top dollar for decorated sugar cookies.
So beautiful ❤️
Beautiful cupcakes, but those pearls are a choking hazard I would never use those.
I dont blame you.. screw those hateful people..
Fantastic
It’s so crazy how I have no idea how to frost but somehow I looked at the frosted flower before she frosted it and automatically knew that flower had to be piped in the middle spiraling outward
Wait so… a customer that you asked for feedback from gave you feedback, but it was critical and you fixed what they requested, but fired that client after?
I thought your point was that you learned from the mistakes with that client and improved your system.
Did she not approve the design the first time with the black out line which she later disliked?
Beautiful Congrats ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good for you girl. I had a coffee shop and made most of the food myself since my staff was very unreliable. So I know what effort goes into making cupcakes for parties. Never taking an order again from her ,- kudos.
I would've cancelled her order myself rather than redo it, especially since you planned to not take anymore orders from her again. Some people are so unnecessarily rude. Don't allow yourself to be disrespected like that. Take back your power by refusing/cancelling and you send them a message, they need you as much as you need them!!
Beautiful
8 hr mistake .. brutal
Great job🎉😂❤
You did two things correctly;
Redoing the order, even though you didn’t have to.
Never taking another order from that person again!
I had a business for years! I sucked up and went soooo beyond what I needed to do! Some just want something for free….
Is there a reason why you package them in 6 counts? Twelve seems more convenient.
There’s two reasons. 1) we saved the packaging till the end of the wedding so guests could take home a small pack of cupcakes and 2) someone donated a ton of 6 count packaging to me 😂❤️
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe I figured there was a reason. Thank you!!
Wait, so you never took another order from a customer that explain their grievances to you ?
Beautiful ❤️.... question ❓....my granddaughter has a birthday coming up on May 29th... recently, we figured out Red 40 dye are affecting her ADHD... any suggestions for making "Fox" 🦊 Orange? I want to make her Fox 🦊 Cupcakes for her Treats...🩷🧁
@@Melanierose21122 😕...how do you know she won't answer me? I've seen her answer Other's....
Hmm I’m not sure if Chefmaster orange has the Red 40 dye mixed in, but I really like Chefmaster colours in general! I would definitely double check with wherever you purchase it from. I’m sure the foxes will be super cute 🥰
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Thank You for Answering me so quick! I didn't expect one so soon, because I realize how busy you are! Bless Your Heart! I will look for the ChefMaster Orange and watch the labels....I pray they come out nice! I'll try and snap a pic for you! Have a great week!🍰🧁🎂💞
Do you deliver throughout the United States?
Are the cupcakes considered jumbo?
Looks good the way made them nothing g wrong with love it people don't know how like I like it girl good job person rude saying that not happy the Asia's too bad for them keep doing what u doz g girl love u ❤
Well, that's childish. She expressed how she felt, and you took it as personal and intentional. Why ask her if you weren't willing to hear how she felt or what she thinks?
Do you make the cupcakes/cakes ? Or are we just decorating them 😂😂
I do-lots of videos on that
Some people are never happy, like you will be damned if you do and damned if you don't!
WOW I love 🍰
❤❤❤ cute
Why is no one talking about the fact she sounds like cookieswirlc
Why you calling them cookies when there cupcakes?
Are you in Texas????
No; British Columbia
"I just dont understand why it's so difficult? My request is just simple" - Every entitle person ever
so did you just decorate them not actually bake them?
Screw her I would’ve just not given her the order and tell her she can spend 8+ hours doing it herself
Never take orders again from ungrateful people 💯
😍💝
Wow that's really bad when you work so hard 😮
Or do you mentor people looking to open a muffin businesses?
🫶🫶🩷🩷🙏✝️😊😊⭐⭐
COOKIES???
Hope no waste those delicious cupcakes! Looks ain't all.. their gonna be eaten anyway what a b..
Store bought cupcakes?
O , Seigneur je veux travailler de chez moi comme cette femme afin de m'occuper de mes enfants, mon époux et ma famille. Je scelle cette prière dans le sang de Jésus
That’s so mean😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮
Good for you for not taking orders from her again
yeah screw that customer tbh
I would never order baked goods from someone who doent bake them and buys them from the store youre basically cheating and charging for someone elses work
