"Oh my god, I'm so absolutely mortified. I can't apologise enough. Blush I feel dreadful. I'm so sorry to have insulted you and your hard work and your craft in this manner. And I am also sorry to insult your wonderful staff... Please, please. please do this order for me and I will give you DOUBLE what you would normally charge.

And of course I will still promote your brilliant business as well. Also, that was a hilarious response. 😆 I did deserve that. Well WE deserved it. Please, can you even think about forgiveness? I am hoping someone with a cheeky and smart sense of humour like you Bec, is capable of forgiving idiocy.

We didn't mean anything bad by it, but it was an absolute cheek. I'm so sorry. Lots of love. Catherine. xxxxx."

THIS ^ should have been her response.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 02/08/2023 11:47

She is the celeb tho. She was in Corrie for years

She might be your idea of a celebrity, she isn't mine.

ArcaneWireless · 02/08/2023 11:47

MrsDanvers 😁

Best she gets out the Be-Ro cookbook 👩🏽‍🍳

Magssss · 02/08/2023 11:48

@PurpleButterflyWings that's the hilarious part, the person who actually has a birthday that day is her husband, who is getting a small after thought cake, lucky fella.

PlacidPenelope · 02/08/2023 11:49

Saying that NVRLND have been misrepresented is at best disingenuous and at worst outright falsehood. Nowhere in their email to the Bakery did they mention covering costs (because they had no intention of doing so it was quite clear they wanted the products for nothing), it was all about receiving payment in the form of socials and exposure in OK Magazine, now CT says there is no deal with OK Magazine so that part of the reputed 'payment' wouldn't be happening would it.

Misrepresented? Hardly.

Grifters are going to grift, well done to the Bakery for not capitulating and for their firm and unequivocal response.

Celebrities - pay your own fucking way like the rest of us do.

Iloveanicegarden · 02/08/2023 11:49

Some people (who don't make things) have no idea of the time, costs and energy that goes into production of the items in question.
I once quoted for a bespoke wedding cake with all the features that the client wanted, only to be told the figure was way too much and they were thinking more of supermarket prices. Fine, I said, go there then and get a mass produced basic cake. As @jonnycakes said , people won't pay for quality.

Yes it should.

fireflyloo · 02/08/2023 11:52

I cringed when I saw CT's response. Well done for cake maker for calling this entitled behaviour out. Just shows how much free shit Celebs get, whether they request it or not. And they are the ones that can afford it.

ArcaneWireless · 02/08/2023 11:53

Aye it should have been the response.

Bit late now though.

ACupOfTeaDoesNotSolveEverything · 02/08/2023 11:55

Oh that Insta video is not doing her any favours at all.

😆 LOL !!! Must be hard work being married to her. Imagine taking over your husband's birthday and then having it as your own. Some celebrities are just SO full of themselves.

PurpleButterflyWings · 02/08/2023 11:56

Her birthday was 2 weeks later I think? And she still made her husband's birthday all about her....

ArcaneWireless · 02/08/2023 11:56

If I were the bakery owner, I would be popping over a beautifully decorated cupcake or wee cake for the birthday boy.

Just for him.

Kicking myself that I didn't keep DM's Stork cookbooks. Some damned good cakes in those and the flapjack recipe.....😝

PurpleButterflyWings · 02/08/2023 12:01

I think Catherine's husband is a photographer ... D'ya to I should ask him if he would cover my niece's wedding next month??? (Without payment of course....) I mean, it'd be 8 or 9 hours out of his day, but there's going to be at least 150 people there who he can give business cards to. And I put it all over my Facebook and my Twitter... I have dozens of facebook 'friends' and 300 followers on Twitter ... Plenty of exposure for him... Wink

Ah. I don’t know what happened to the stork one. We still have the Be-Ro and dairy cookbook and dairy house book though. All used. All hanging to bits. All loved.

memories MrsD - happy memories.

The photographer who covered Harry and Meghan’s wedding and Archie’s baptism didn’t get paid and he had to hand over copyright to the Sussexes.
The royals really are cf’s.

Also, I am not sure why my post went on twice! Sorry! 😬

Tereseta · 02/08/2023 08:17

Tbf Catherine might not even be aware that they asked for this.

Did she not wonder how payment was going to be made?

HRTQueen · 02/08/2023 12:12

I thought the response to the events company was amusing but to the point

not sure if anyone advised CT to make her statement this morning but either way it’s not put her in a good light ahe will get loads of freebies it comes with being well known be grateful for that

GenieGenealogy · 02/08/2023 12:12

She will be well aware. I just looked at her Instagram and it's all #ad #gifted - she is a regular obtainer of freebies and "gifts" from brands in return for plugging them online.

SO tawdry.
