Her Gender Reveal Cupcakes Got Ruined By The Baker’s Dog, So She Said She Wouldn’t Pay For Them
Have you ever ordered something, and everything went horribly wrong when you went to pick it up?
One woman is doing her best to stand her ground and not pay for the gender reveal cupcakes she ordered after the baker’s dog ruined them.
She’s 22-years-old and expecting her first baby. She already knows she’s having a baby girl, but decided to surprise her friends and family with special gender reveal cupcakes during an Easter celebration this past Saturday.
“I had this planned for Saturday, so a few days before, I asked a small local business if she could please make 12 cupcakes with pink and blue icing on top and pink icing in the middle,” she explained.
“She agreed and said they would be ready to collect Friday evening.”
The baker she hired to make the cupcakes is named Claire and works out of her apartment. She drove to Claire’s place Friday evening to pick up and pay for the cupcakes. Claire greeted her and showed her the cupcakes, all finished up and packed in a box. They looked amazing, just how she wanted them.
“She gave me the box, but just as she did, her large pet dog came running up to me barking and jumped at me, knocking the box of cupcakes all over the floor,” she remembered.
Claire apologized and brought her dog to another room. She looked down at the cupcake box and noticed it had landed upside down, so the cupcakes were totally ruined. The icing had smashed all over the box, and the cake was on the floor.
“Claire looked horrified, as I understand she spent a few hours making them for me,” she said.

“She apologized and said she could remake them for free, but they wouldn’t be ready until Sunday. I said, unfortunately, I’m expecting my guests tomorrow, and Sunday is no good.”
She then told Claire that she wouldn’t be paying for the cupcakes since there were no edible ones to take home for her party.
However, Claire said she should still be paid for all the money she had to spend on ingredients for the cupcakes. She reminded Claire it was her dog that caused the cupcakes to be destroyed and that if she had more control over the dog, none of this would have happened.
Eventually, she left without paying Claire.
She revealed her baby’s gender to her family in person without cupcakes and still made some lovely memories. However, now she’s starting to wonder if she should’ve handled the situation with Claire differently and given her some money.
Although she still doesn’t think she should’ve had to pay for damaged cupcakes, she understands that, as a small business owner, the loss of profit could hurt Claire.
Should she give Claire any money for the cupcakes even though she couldn’t use them?
