Would you be happy with this cake for £50 from a 'professional' cake maker?

Just as in the title really.

£50. Cake was raw in the middle but was still warm as had obviously been made very quickly before I collected it . I was due to collect it at 11am but at 10am she had sent me a message about a 'family emergency' and asked if I could collect in the evening instead (which was not possible). Instead we agreed for 2.30pm.

The butter icing was melting as the cake was still warm so had almost collapsed in the middl and it just looked so amateur. I could genuinely have made it myself if I wanted it to look that bad, but paid a professional so it looked better than I could do.

I have been offered a refund, BUT the cake maker has made out I am totally unreasonable... so what do you think?! Would you be happy?

It’s an awful cake and you are absolutely right to accept a refund.

I do agree that you wouldn’t get a professionally made cake for £50 in my area. £80 minimum I’d say.

Yuck

Quite simply,
If you weren't in the right and her in the wrong
She'd never have offered a refund even if done grudingly
Because who'd love refunding money??

Fact she is throwing a refund so easy knows she's screwed it up otherwise she would be arguing it. She's trying to save face.
Accept it.

Where did you find this "professional" cake maker?

Nah, that cake is shit. I made a cake today that's better than that.

You’re absolutely right tbf

It’s fine to overspend if the cake is impressive and you say well, it’s a special occasion and looked/tasted amazing.

The baker im this case was a chancer.

Professional cake maker here - i've binned better cakes than that...did you find on FB per chance ?

Take the money and run. That's really bad. Leave a review on Google too and warn others.

You should get a full refund!!

Oh my God, she forgot to make your cake

just take the refund. She's talking shit because she's embarrassed.

Which lead me to wonder if she's 17?!

I think it's cute and might copy the design .... but it's not a £50 cake!

This.

That cake is a disgrace. £50? Not worth a fiver.

Good grief: fifty quid? For that? That’s shocking and you should absolutely have had a refund. I hope you put up a scathing review.

It looks awful and I would accept the refund. However, as others have said, £50 for a professionally made cake is nothing, so I wouldn’t have even ordered from her in the first place as I would question how professional/skilled she is if she is charging such low prices.

That’s awful. You’re entitled to a refund!

If I was told it was home made I'd be fine with it, it's just for a professional it should be better. It looks like it probably tasted nice though.

50 quid? Is she supposed be a professional Baker? I make better cakes than that and they arent soggy in the middle. Yes definitely a refund. I wouldnt pay a fiver for that mess !!

Th cost of ingredients plus two hours at the minimum wage would come to around £50.00 so I’d agree with the price however it’s not been made by a professional cake maker, more like someone just starting out that needs to be making a lot more cakes for friends and family (for practice) before advertising their services to the general public.

> I have been offered a refund
Take it, review her online, move on

She should be falling over herself to refund you and keep you on side

bloody uncooked and collapsing

The strawberries still have the husks on ffs

How could you have made the cake raw? That's an irreversible thing.
Anyway she already gave you a refund so not sure what more you could want.

Omg what a crook 💩
