It is not enjoyable to me and would not be a profitable endeavor unless I was pursuing it as a career," they said of their reasoning for refusing the request."These gifts are typically for birthday parties and the gift receiver gives me a size and a very general idea of what they would want it to look like and I honor that in my own style and ability," they explained in their <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/1fmtyw1/aita_for_offering_cash_instead_of_my_labor_for_a/">post</a>.However, their cousin asked them for a specific wedding cake as the person's wedding gift."After a brief discussion I confirmed that it would not be a good fit. After she persisted in arguing the reasons I offered I switched tactics and offered to pay $250 towards her cake order placed with someone else," the person wrote.However, the person's gift offer greatly offended the bride."The amount came from it being the maximum I would’ve considered spending on her gift. She took a lot of offense at this, saying she can afford a cake and I was implying she approached me because she can’t," they said."When I said I hadn’t meant anything by it but that was my budget for a gift she said it would barely cover a deposit for the kind of cake she would want," they added.Commenters agreed that the baker was not in the wrong in the situation."She basically wants you to bake a cake that is hundreds of dollars more than what you are willing to spend on a wedding gift," one person pointed out."My, my how people become so unabashedly entitled when they’re getting married. I think 250 dollars towards the wedding cake is a generous offer," someone else said."If $250 would barely cover the deposit, then this person is asking a LOT of you," another commenter agreed.</div></body>
