***PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT***
PLEASE ASSEBLIEF STOP SENDING ME AI-GENERATED CAKE PHOTOS.
Okay, let’s have a quick chat before my cakey heart starts stressing.
I LOVE LOVE ABSOLUTELY LOVE any and all inspiration picture. Send it! Show me the colours, the vibe, the style, the idea, the weird, the wacky. That’s exactly what inspo pictures are for.
BUT
AI doesn’t have to obey the laws of gravity.
AI doesn’t have to work with actual buttercream.
AI doesn’t have to fight with fondant in Cape Town weather.
AI has never had to look a client in the eye and say, “Sorry, my friend, but your cake can't levitate.”
So if your inspiration picture has:
Flowers floating in mid-air
See-through ruffles
Metallic buttercream that looks like it was forged by fire
A cake structure that needs an engineering degree
Or anything that makes me look at the picture and say “Um...what the helly”
Chances are the cake does not exist in real life.
Send it for the vibe. Send it for the colours. Send it for inspiration.
But please don’t send it with “Can you make this exact cake?”
My answer is probably going to be "nope, sorry fam."
Because here at Kitchen Something, we use real ingredients, real buttercream, real cake and real-life gravity along with weather struggles!
Now, while I have your attention.
When you WhatsApp, can we please bring back a little common courtesy?
A simple:
“Hello there, how are you?” 😊
And I’ll say:
“Hey! I’m good, thank you. How can I help you?”
THEN, you can hit me with:
“How much for a cake?”
Because when your first message is just:
“How much?”
I’m sitting here thinking “Well hello to you too, my friend! I’m good, thanks for asking!”
I promise you, I don’t need a full life story. Just a hello and how are you before we get down to business.
Manners matter, people. We were raised better than this!
Said with love, a little laughter and absolutely no hard feelings
Have a cakealicious day!!
