Bride accuses childhood friend of ‘overcharging’ for last-minute wedding cake: ‘Spoiled’
A woman doesn’t want to make a time-consuming, $850 wedding cake for free — but the bride-to-be doesn’t understand why.
She went on Reddit’s “Am I the A******? (AITA)” forum. Her friend Ashley asked her to make an elaborate wedding cake by November. The issue was that Ashley was only willing to pay $150 for it. The Reddit poster is not a professional baker. She is a school administrator with professional baking experience but is mostly a hobbyist cake maker.
“Ashley wants a four-tiered cake with four different flavors and 100 cupcakes, 25 of each flavor. The decorations will require me to order specialty molds and I’ll have to hand paint some gold onto the cake, as well. Total cost came out to $825, $100 more than the previous baker,” she wrote.
“Ashley was upset and said I was overcharging but I showed her the breakdown. I told her I would do it for the other quote if she was strapped for money but Ashley then asked me to do it for only $150.”
When the Reddit poster asked why Ashley needed the massive discount, Ashley’s reason was not financial. She insisted that the poster should do it out of friendship. Ashley insisted that because the Reddit poster made free cakes for family members, she should get the same treatment.
With just $1,000 and one day, this Harlem bedroom gets a brand new look:
“She told me I needed a friend discount,” the poser wrote. “So I said, ‘The discount is you get 0% off 100% of the time and if you keep bothering me, I’ll even add tax.’ Basically, Ashley didn’t like that response and has told the rest of the bridal party what I said, so I’m getting pressure from 9 additional women to drop the price, though some say to half it instead of dropping it to $150.
“My husband thinks I should drop out of the wedding and not give her anything, but he also doesn’t like Ashley or her fiancé (he thinks she’s a spoiled brat).”
“I’m on team husband,” someone commented.
“She’s trying to scam you out of a free cake,” another wrote.
“If she wants to only spend $150 she can have a $150 cake,” a Redditor said.
