ITāS BEEN SO LONG SINCE, I MADEā¦
Decorated cookies, but I didnāt want to miss this chance! I made 3 dozen McDonaldās themed cookies for my cousin whoās moving away to start her own franchise. These cookies were hard work, but fun to create (especially the nuggets)! She is such and inspiration, and I wish her ALL the success in this new chapter of her life! š«

STORY TIME: Letās talk about standing firmā¦
Earlier this month, I was contacted by someone I had done cakes for the past. This person called me and left a voice message and I responded a day later with a text, then another text a few days after that. Long story short: She needed a cake for her daughterās milestone birthday, but there was never clarification on the date or the design.
After she promised to get back me, several days went by and I didnāt hear from her again until the middle of last week. She finally told me that the cake was needed on May 23rd and then described the complex cake design that her daughter wanted. This was news to meā¦
I have a strict 2-week notice policy and I struggled with this one because I had made a few cakes for this client in the past. Soā¦ What did I do?
I had to tell her ānoā. When she offered to pick it up a day later and said that her daughter only wanted me to make the cakeā¦. I doubled down and declined again. I felt bad, but I also felt good that I was able to uphold my own boundary! Had this person not waited until a week before and communicated properly about when she needed the cake sooner (which I had asked about earlier in the month and never got a response), perhaps the outcome would have been different.
All this to say: Hold firm to your boundaries and donāt allow others procrastination to become an āemergencyā on your part! š«
About this photo: This cookie was one design that I made for my youngest sonās 1st birthday some years ago. š
