“Hope the cake lady got the exposure she was craving”

FUCK OFF CATHERINE TYDESLEY

What a horrible thing to say 😡

Cheekyfuckerseverywhere · 02/08/2023 08:40

It’s been going on years, happened to a relative of mine but pre Instagram and the reward was a day with a sleb.

Relative declined the generous offer.

Their all just grifters.

Beaverbridge · 02/08/2023 08:42

Oaft, Instagram reply. Don't think you've done yourself any favours love!!.

BelindaBears · 02/08/2023 08:43

Why’s she having her 40th birthday party on her husband’s birthday?

BMW6 · 02/08/2023 08:43

Yep, how to damage your career #1

TwoManyKids · 02/08/2023 08:50

Surprise she's not saying it couldn't possibly be here because she used to be fat and now she's not fat but she used to be.

Rockbird · 02/08/2023 08:50

Who even is she? She was in Corrie for a while but? And that comment about the cake lady was shitty.

We have a business, not cakes but digital and so many people expect DH to work for free it's unbelievable. Even the one who pay are in no hurry to do so and we are constantly missing payments for bills. These people have no idea what it's like to be a small business.

Whoever posted that isn't very bright. The bakery owner didn't want exposure, YOU, whoever you are, gave it to her. Along with the chance to expose the parasites that are influencers. A dignified silence would have been much better, but some people just can't resist trying to have the last word

thatsnotmylifeitstoocrazy · 02/08/2023 08:54

I don’t think it was CT but the party planners! Brilliant reply.

GenieGenealogy · 02/08/2023 08:58

It's also really poor marketing strategy for the bakery business, but the party planners / that rubbish Strictly woman won't see it like that.

It's one thing being asked for a freebie for Elton John, or Madonna, or Tom Cruise or Margot Robbie. For a party which is going to be featured in ALL the glossy magazines and websites worldwide. And when you're making a product which can be posted to Los Angeles or Tokyo. That is valuable to a business.

This "opportunity" was to provide multiple cakes for a not very famous even within the UK person, whose party would possibly feature in one magazine, and when you're making a product which cannot be easily shipped. So really this "opportunity" is only going to appeal to fans of the actress who live within 30 minutes of Keighley, and who are in the market for a celebration cake. Not many people.

If I was in charge of marketing for the bakery I'd be spending the money I would have spend on this freebie on things like attending local wedding fayres, getting on approved supplier lists for local hotels and events venues, advertising in local papers or targetted social media adverts for local people who are actually looking to buy a cake.

Bonfire23 · 02/08/2023 08:35

I’m sorry but I love this response 😅 she just sounds so over the drama. And wouldn’t we all be!

Influencers ask for free stuff in exchange for exposure, small companies send influencers free stuff and ask for the exposure. I am not one to be “influenced” but it doesn’t take a genius with a marketing degree to work out it happens from both sides and can often be mutually beneficial.

Whoever this woman is from the events company who sent the email just clearly picked the wrong bakery. Another bakery might have jumped at the chance. Heck there might be dozens of local small bakeries reading that DM article today thinking “I’ll send her the cakes!”.

We don’t know how much stuff this actress is sent requesting she posts about it. She might be inundated with such requests and keeps it to herself.

Bonfire23 · 02/08/2023 08:35

Wow she couldn't be dignified if she tried could she !

Pluffe · 02/08/2023 09:16

Was expecting porn featuring cake.

TimeIhadaNameChange · 02/08/2023 09:21

Reminds me of the response a would-be influencer got from the White Moose café a few years ago. It was along the lines that while the influencer had a few thousand followers the cafe had many multiples of this so no, they would not accept the coverage as payment.

Rooroobear · 02/08/2023 09:24

Her reply has completely put me off her. Seemed quite nice now I think she’s a twat! The bakery lady had every right to put that in her socials and to say she hopes she’s got the attention she was craving…..erm the or company you employed sent her that email! Misrepresented my arse!! Doing herself no favours

PinkFootstool · 02/08/2023 09:27

I see we're all expected to buy into the argument that the PR company would have paid for all the cakes. Except they have said that in the email, nor in the press release.

Covering costs is not the same as paying for the items - it doesn't include any profits for a start, which is how a small business survives.

We're also now expected to feel sorry for the Z-list celeb (who I couldn't have picked out of a line up) because she is doing sad Insta pieces to camera in her car in the rain 🙄 because she didn't know wah wah wah. It's also really disingenuous because she's laughing and scoffing all the way through it. Woe is her

stiltonbriecheddar · 02/08/2023 09:31

The husbands surprise cake is no longer a surprise!

Twyford · 02/08/2023 09:31

This celebrity earns many multiples of the people who work in the bakery and no doubt the owner herself!

She probably doesn't, in fact. The soaps notoriously don't pay that well unless you're a really big star.

notahappybunny7 · 02/08/2023 09:34

BMW6 · 02/08/2023 07:39

I don't think the bakery owner's reply is "crass" at all, she is not vulgar but uses irony and mild sarcasm to get her point across.

Crass would surely have been "Fuck Off"?

Which would’ve been perfectly acceptable response.

Primrosesanddaisies · 02/08/2023 09:35

Missing the point but what sort of theme is 'camp as tits'? What does a camp cake look like?

Dancingqueenwannabe · 02/08/2023 09:35

TheDutchHouse · 02/08/2023 09:00

Wow she couldn't be dignified if she tried could she !

Absolutely vile woman. No apology, no misunderstanding... nothing. Just woe is me and what sounds like complete denial! Vile, she's shown the world what she is like after playing miss nice for so long.

AffIt · 02/08/2023 09:38

Every artist or creative friend I have has at least one of these stories about CFs who seem to think that 'exposure' is a legitimate currency.

The sheer gall of some people is astonishing.

She certainly hasn’t and what with all the scratching!!!

35965a · 02/08/2023 09:45

CTs Instagram response is bad. She should have just said ‘this has been blown out of proportion’ and criticised the journos turning up at her door. The dig about ‘the cake lady’ getting the exposure she wanted shows her in a very bad light.

Bearpawk · 02/08/2023 09:46

@coxesorangepippin such a stupid non story expected of the Mail.
It was the events company who made the request not the 'celebrity'
The 'celebrity' doesn't seem to be involved at all - why on earth are you calling her a cheeky cow ?

They were well within their rights to ask, lots of companies jump at the chance - thats quite literally how the awful influencer model works. bakery quite rightly said no.
Whipping up a scandal from nothing 🙃
