Bit of a cross between a sighting and a brain burp but we were the customers so it's here.
We've been trying to build a relationship with Awesome Local Bakery as a potential sponsor for the South 2 Derby team. So because of that, my BF made a point to order a dozen alcoholic cupcakes.
ALB is named such cos their cupcakes are fucking awesome. Especially the ones with booze in them.
Well we had a snag: we preordered (and paid) for the cupcakes but then forgot the rest of the stuff we were going to bring to South 2. So we postponed the meeting.
But then well, what about the cupcakes? We ate them of course! And I gave the landlady four of them with the rent check.
So I went to ALB to order another dozen for the next meeting and paid for them. ALB recognized the order and realized it was the same, so they were really pleased to have repeat business. My BF picked them up on Monday and... paid for them.
So that's the problem. He didn't realize I'd already paid for them and they forgot to note it down. However instead of a refund I called them up and asked if it was OK to just pick up a dozen cupcakes.
ALB said yes and that I could pick out the "artisan" ones, but to be honest neither my BF or I care. We know it was an honest mistake and realize it would be easier on them to just take the "refund" in product vs cash - cos it means business for them.
which is also why we aren't specifically asking for artisan cupcakes.
Oh BTW, and yes i told them this too - the second batch was awesome.
hey that's the other reason why we'd rather have cupcakes vs cash back.
(Actually the second batch was even better than the first. you could taste the booze still!)
