I have the BEST...
I find the cakes I do best are for the clients that give me the best... They have done their research, thought hard about what they would like, they know what they would like and open to suggestions and more ideas, they trust me, my hands and my work, they communicate well and are just pleasant people to deal with. They also treat me with respect just as they do like respect back. All Delicate-Lee clients are like this and I am very thankful to have such wonderful and delightful clients to create for...
In my cake decorating past when working for "others" I found that some of the time I would deal with a "difficult one"...No matter what I did they were never 100% satisfied or happy, they would look down their nose at me as if I was some sort of lower class and this is only in the consultation (some would even question my abilities due to my age)... Months down the track when it was their turn for their cake to be created the bitter taste in my mouth of that "difficult" day would always be hard to shrug off.. No matter what the design I would find it hard to find the inner creative sparkle which helps me create... I would find myself doing other tasks or just anything else to do so that I didn't have to deal with their cake... but we have deadlines to meet and it would get done but deep down I knew it could have been better if I didn't have that grey cloud...
I have a great supportive group of "cakie" mates who kind of experience the same thing when dealing with a "difficult one" {DIFFICULT ONE meaning person, not cake} and recently talking to one friend about this made me remember how horrible these grey days could be... So it got me thinking... IMAGINE her client showed a little more faith in her skills or showed a little more respect or supplied a little more information how much better the finish cake could have been? Don't get me wrong, this pretty lady's work is always flawless and it looked perfect to me but she knew deep down that she could have done that little bit better which would have given her the satisfaction of a job "WELL DONE" {See it isn't always sugar and unicorns, we too have bad grey cloudy days}.
Since starting Delicate-Lee I have been very lucky to have such wonderful clients <3 THANK YOU
Thank you for being my creative sparkle and not my grey cloudy day
