Client would like to come over and decorate the cake herself. I need to advice please. 😀
My sister's friend whom I’ve met at a few events, wants to come to my house to frost and decorate a cake that I will bake for her, and I'll provide all the necessary supplies. She will pay me for the cost of decorating since it involves my materials and time to teach her and assist. However, she plans to decorate the cake and then drive to the birthday party immediately after. Given that it's summer and quite hot, I'm not comfortable with the idea of the cake not being chilled before the trip. The birthday party is 10 miles away, and I chill my cakes the day before they are picked up. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to come over the day before and then again on the day of the party.
She wants to take credit for the decorating, but I feel uneasy about putting my name and stickers on a cake that I didn't actually decorate.
This is the cake and it’s one tier.
How would you go about this?
