Baker vs. Bridesmaid Dilemma: Time to Back Out? ♀️
“NTA Your husband is right. Ashley is behaving like a spoiled brat. $150 won’t cover the cost of the supplies and tools. And how in the world are you supposed to be a bridesmaid and transport and set up a cake and cupcakes at the same time? It probably isn’t feasible. If your break it down to the basics, Ashley is literally asking you to pay $675 toward her hotel room. Why would you do that? At a minimum, tell Ashley that you’ve realized you wouldn’t be able to make her cake and meet your obligations as her bridesmaid. So she’ll need to find another baker. She’ll probably cut you from her wedding party after that. But if she continues to just be mean, step out.”
