I have this problem and wondered if any of you have the same.. I find when people call up and say they want a pengiun cake for example..I panic if its not something I have done before and then try and think of something to offer as a design... I do get really stuck sometimes..as most prople call with a vague or no idea... A lovely lady called up and asked for two cakes one was a pengiun cake and the other a horse cake..both I have never done before and I like to offer minimum two options usually three.. So there I was on the phone trying to think and cost ...not good for my brain cells.. Anyway came up with the following 3 d pengiun Pengiun in an igloo Pengiuns sliding down a glacier........ the horse either a flat 2d horse shape full or just head or one with more modelling A round/square cake with a horse and rider which has fallen off into the water......remembered that one from carol deacons nook.. Both cakes are for a 7 and 9 year olds.......just wondering what you would have suggested and what would you have gone for... ;D

Hi Rach
I have a list of questions i like to ask about flavours, themes, colours etc. When the lady phoned about the rugby ball cake, she really left it up to me but i told her i'd phone her back with a price, which is what i did. Perhaps you could tell the person that you'll have a look and think of some ideas and ring her back with some ideas and a price and do it as soon as you can.
