Interesting Read!

A customer asked me how much a mini fondant cake was for her daughter's birthday.

I told her $90.00

She said: For a cake? That’s a lot!

How much did you think it would cost you?

She said, at most $ 30.00, it is a simple cake.

For $30 I invite you to do it yourself.

I just don't know, she told me.

For $30, I will teach you, so in addition to saving $60, you will have the knowledge for the next time you need it. It seemed good to her and she accepted.

Here is what you would need to get started: various cutters, rollers, scales, mixer, molds, cake pans, among many other things.

But I don't have all those items and I'm not going to buy all of that for a single cake.

Well for $30 more I can rent you my things, so you can do it together with me.

"Okay" she says still not so convinced...

On Friday I will wait for you to start doing it.

I can't do Friday, today I have time."

But today I don't have time. You also need to buy ingredients.

Oh, no. Going to the grocery store to buy those things seems time consuming. You have any there? Could you sell me some of your supplies?

Sure. But you must be very punctual because I have more cakes to deliver. I'll wait for you tomorrow at 5 am to start all the work.

You know? It's very early. I better give you the $90. I already put it together and it will be more expensive.
