To expect the person that asked DH to buy a very expensive cake to pay him for it!

[pinkbubble]

DH was away on business last week, and a person from his office asked him to buy a particular cake for them. Why DH didnt think "flippin heck that cake is expensive!" and ring the woman , I dont know!!!! Anyway DH bought the thing, but the woman has said she wasnt expecting it to cost that much, and doesnt want it! So we are now left with this cake, which is expensive and do not know what to do with it! I know some of you will say eat it, but to be honest we are not great cake eaters!

So is there anyone out there that would like to buy an expensive cake, its a chocolate torte!

DH pften gets things for people whilst away, normally never a problem, think he will think twice after this!

Happy to sell it for a tenner, plus P&P

yum -it will be sooooo nice (maybe we could all give some towards it and you could send to someone who could use a feast like OJ or MB)

do you take paypal?

Would she have asked him to get her a red scarf. Then when he came back with it, in the wrong shade of red... woul she have said "no"??

I doubt it.

Didn't your dh just set it on her desk & hand her the receipt?? I would have done!

THATS A LOVELY IDEA! Could send half each!!!

NO, he is just too polite!!!!! walk over infact!

still reckon you should force feed it to her

I'd have told her I forgot.

But I'm like that

Imagine how sickly it would be! yuk, even I am not that cruel!

Get him to take it into work and stage a coffee morning on her desk!!! Then thank her loudly

if she knew she wanted a proper , origional sacher torte, she would have known it was going to be serious money

damn well invoice her

cheeky madam

Unfortunately, he is away again this week, (but you know that is a bloody good idea!) pity him being away!

Are proper ones normally that expensive? (I have no idea!)

Konditor and Cook are pretty flash, (and yummy) and a whole 8" round cake comes in at about £19.00 with them, depending on type of cake

I guess that is comparable in price really

DD just came back from Salzburg and brought me a mini Sachertorte. Yummy, do not know how much he paid though.

oh, did look on Sacher torte website, but they didnt include prices! wonder why!

Wow, just noted what DH paid for my piccolo Sachertorte

I'd send her an email through the office email system asking for payment forthwith and reminding her that she very specifically asked DH to get that particular cake as a favour to her. He should state that in view of this, he cannot, and should not have to afford to take the hit.

Then I'd "accidentally" press "send to all" and embarrass the arrogant and unreasonable cow in front of all her colleagues.

He got this one in Vienna, not sure on size as its all wrapped up, but woul say about a 7 inch!

Just found the link, he paid 27.50 euros!

Is that a man's 7" ??!

LOL I have no idea!!!!

Very cheeky of the woman, she should have found out how expensive they are before asking him to get one.
