Ok, so we try to stay on top of all of our orders. But, despite all of our best efforts, sometimes, we get really busy and something slips. In this case, it was good family friends whose daughter was turning 7. They had called Joanne on her cell the week prior, and her scribbled notes ended up staying in her pocket and never making it onto our kitchen's white board and calendar.
So, Saturday morning, the day the cake was due, the phone rang at 11:45 a.m. They wanted to know what time the cake would be delivered.
WHAT???
So, we had a bit of time to work with, the party was from 2-4 p.m. and the cake wouldn't be cut into until around 3:00 p.m.
We jumped into action and got to work. It was a two-tiered cake, chocolate with vanilla buttercream. The theme was flowers.
In three hours, we managed to bake, ice, decorate and deliver this cake. It was likely the quickest turn around we've ever done, and despite the mix-up, they were really pleased. In fact, they've ordered two more cakes, since! Those are both already on the white board, and the calendar in the kitchen, as well as on Joanne's electronic calendar on her phone, as will every future order!
