Wanted to let all my customers know about Lisa's Unique Cakes & Cookies in Baytown, Texas AS of today Sunday, July 28th 2024 I am more than likely gonna close the doors on taking any orders. May make exceptions from time to time. At this point i don't know if i will or i won't. NO one knows the struggles I've been facing on my own over the past 3 years. These past 30 days I have been severely sick & struggling on my own. My main reason I am not wanting to continue doing cakes & Cookies unfortunately is because of my long term customers who have taken my kindness for granted. I have ALWAYS TRIED to go above and beyond for EVERYONE. Double book, triple book, quadruple book myself.
When there's non payment & you get the product from me(knowing you are supposed to pay me when your picking up your order from me🙄) , no shows and you already placed the order with me & also then confirm your order 1 week in advance with me STILL ( ALL my long term customers know once you confirm with me your order YOU KNOW I'M MAKING THE ORDER NO MATTER HOW TIRED I AM, HOW I FEEL OR WHAT I'M GOING THRU). Then you say your still gonna pay me when you do a NO SHOW ON ME and you don't pay me. Knowing you know i made the product & custom orders 99% can't be resold! I only ask for deposits here and there becausei know everyone faces struggles in their lives & are going thru stuff in their life. My kindness has gotten me no where but in a downward spiraling motion and yet I have continued to let my long term customers do this to me repeatedly. Yes ITS MY OWN FAULT! SO don't point out the obvious to me! After 11 years of this knowing they are getting huge discounts & good deals and I have even gave extra cookies or cupcakes or even a cake, done tons & tons & TONS of fundraisers ALL FOR FREE, helped out tons and tons of people who couldn't afford the costs of 2 & 3 tier cakes That would normally cost $200 or $300+ & I'd make those size cakes for $100 & they can't even give me a simple THANK YOU! Thank you goes a long ways people an FYI for so many people that haven'ta clue. I never expected tips from any customer either. But when your getting a $300+ cake, cookies & cupcakes for $125 all in one order and you can't say thank you or even give a $5 tip it's just hurtful. Also if a cake has gotten ruined or didn't turn out quite they way as anticipated I HAVE ALWAYS given discounts or remade the entire cake for free! OR made their next cake order for FREE! When you work 24/7 as I have been doing all these years, spreading yourself thin by going out of your way for so many people at once (the reason I have gone out of my way or over extend myself for so many people is because I wanted to help that person in need out of the kindness of my heart) AGAIN MY OWN FAULT! I have no one to blame but myself! I take FULL ACCOUNTABILITY for allowing it to happen to myself! I'm NOT SINGLING OUT JUST ONE CUSTOMER IN THIS POST AT ALL!! Because its happened more than once in the past 11 years. I'm simply stating that ONE PERSON CAN ONLY BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF FOR SO LONG BEFORE THEY BREAK! I'm officially broken down, officially as of today! AGAIN please DO NOT come at me on my post pointing fingers at me or saying you should do this or you should do that. Cause i already know the should've, could've & would've! I'm about to be 55 years old & I know how the world works & the people in it! But I can't allow myself to be taken advantage of anymore. Honestly at this point I'm not wanting to do anymore orders because of the hurt I feel. Again YES ITS NO ONE'S FAULT BUT MY OWN! I now have to try and get better & still have a struggle ahead of me daily financially, physically & emotionally. Thank you to all of my long term customers, thank you to any customer who has ever ordered from me. God bless each and every single one of you & your families. I wish no hard feelings towards anyone.
