Man United Cake - Went against the grain for my Liverpoolsupporter daughter to make this one!

-- well almost! When my Liverpool FC mad daughter was asked to make a birthday cake for a MAnchedter United fan it went very much against the grain for her!! But she went ahead and made it anyway with the thoughts that the profits would go towards purchasing her ticket to see Take That!! ( What a way for a 39 year old to behave!!!!!) I think that considering she thinks of Manchester United as something she'd scrape off the bottom of her shoe she did a good job with the cake! Would you be able to do something simiiar for something that you had such strong feelings against?

Only if there were a profit in it! There's no way that I could do it for free.

Very sad! But there we go. An ex once bought tickets for an Oasis concert. She and her son were mad about them. I drove them all the way from Weymouth to Milton Keynes, only to find that the dozy woman had bought them for a concert that happened a year previous. She had never shown us the tickets, but swore blind that I should have checked the dates. I was none too happy, but the blame was still placed on me. The relationship did not last much longer.......

I thought she was having surgery and not doing cakes for a while. Still, it seems a very nice cake to me, not that I know who these folks are anyway...

She goes in today for her surgery - she has just finished her last cake for a while - a Beatles one, I';m looking forward to seeing the pictures of that one!

Another brilliant cake! I guess as long as your have a paying customer, then let them eat cake!! I am a firm believer in great customer service, you never know who that person knows. Might be a great business promoter.

Hiya chem, In all consideration I have to congratulate her for doing such a marvelous Job considering she does not care much for that Team. What a tribute to Manchester United. Me personally I like most Football Teams that play good Football. Ahem well getting away from that Team because the other one Liverpool is also my favourite too. Very nice Job she has done indeed. Too good to eat again. At this rate I´ll never get to try any of her Cakes as they all look to good to eat.
