OP, sorry for the embarrassment on a day meant to so special. Not only has empress lost future customers, she has a whole lot of bad publicity to deal with now and beyond. When my spouse is chunning out great jobs like this, someone is throwing away opportunity to sell her skills in a competitive market. 2 Likes

damiso:Lol, it is oh. I think is just about offering good quality at a good price now. A friend that just entered the wedding business as an event planner gave me a bill of 400k for her total package, initially she said 1 mill as per standard non friend. Come to think of it, these people are calling millions like its 5 naira |

@dbard . pele o. Dont get me started on event vendors in Naija. Na so so million dem go dey call. @aisha Banke meshida charges like 800k now? My goodness! Ridamnculous! What are they painting? Maybe cos i'm a MUA sha. Even celeb MUA here wont charge that much for a wedding. Do you know about the lady in Abuja called mamza beauty? I heard she isnt that expensive and charges like 60k per day(even that amount sef plenty) na wa o. |
Re: My Case With CakeEmpress by dBard: 2:25am On Nov 04, 2014 |
ladygogo: Wow.. Some of d amounts am hearing here are ridiculous. Isn't there a regulatory body f stuffs like did |
Re: My Case With CakeEmpress by ibizgirl(f): 9:47am On Nov 04, 2014 |
When vendors charge and people think they are too expensive but truth is they have spent so much on training to be as good as they are, they have also probably made their mistakes and they have built a solid client base. If the person is too expensive, go for a cheaper vendor. Shikena |

dBard: Why do people call the cake baker to talk about how the ingredient she used is love, peace, joy, etc I think it's unnecessary. The cake bakers role should be limited to setting up and serving that day. No one should even see her That said, the cake was really bad sha...like really bad... My wedding I went with cakes and creams to be on the safer side The most creative cakes Iv seen in my life is by one terry adido links here http://www.gratednutmeg.com/?author=1 Like dude needs to move back to Nigeria and cash in on this talent 1 Like |

A lot of Nigerian bakers cant bake . . .period. Its not their fault; they go for a 2 week crash training course and that is it . . .they are left to unleash their "works" to the public Even some of the so called big names dish out rubbish, that even I as a home baker cannot even present to my friends and family. Ive seen some advertisiers on here showcase lopsided and untidy cakes. its like they dont have rulers or eye judgement. dbard, I am really sorry about what happened and I sincerely cant blame you for not checking properly. Even if you did, they will send you pictures of other peoples cakes or lifted from magazines and you wouldnt have known. All they know is effizy but cant delivier jack. One made me fill a long form. Its in Nigeria that I discovered that you can choose how sweet your cake will be; very sweet, normal, not too sweet . . . For goodness sakes, a sponge cake is a sponge cake with the same recipie. After filling the 2 page form she still didnt put the buttercream and jam in the middle as requested, then went on to blame me for not writing my requirments again at the bottom of the form. I know its painful, but please dont let it upset you. You are starting a wonderful new phase of your life with your wife and dont let anything cloud that. You have done the right thing by bringing this to the public domain so that people who see this will think twice before doing business with her. If only you saw what my weddigng photographer did We laugh about it now. . . and one day you and your wife will laugh about this monstrous cake. Personaly I dont know how people sleep at night. 1 Like |

@op,u were even lucky that people could eat the cake,the worst happened to me on my wedding day,the cake had melted and was giving one bad odour that we had to pack all the four steps into dustbin.she apologised but my spirit has not forgiven her because she made me cry. |
Re: My Case With CakeEmpress by dacoolvik: 5:03pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
So sorry. Its unfortunate but I know someone who works with her and I am surprised at this cake. I have seen a lot of her jobs and I know that she can do better than this. No one is above mistake but out attitude towards it matters a lot. She should have at least apologized and shown some remorse. This kind of thing can be so painful especially when you cannot undo what has been done. I guess we should all be careful. |
Re: My Case With CakeEmpress by veave(f): 5:45pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
