We’ve all been there – a last-minute request comes in, and we’re left scrambling to accommodate. But what happens when the person making the request isn’t willing to pay the price for the inconvenience? Meet our cupcake-baking heroine (26), who runs a small business on the side, mostly catering to family and friends. When a mutual friend, Liv (29), reaches out with a late order for her daughter’s birthday, our baker gives her a price higher than usual due to the short notice. Liv isn’t happy about it, and things escalate quickly. Let’s dive into the delicious drama.
