Very similar to land wars in Asia and coping with your in-laws, ordering a cake is all about preserving sure data to your self.
You do not leak state secrets and techniques, you do not say you hated final Sunday’s casserole, and also you by no means, EVER, inform a baker what measurement to put in writing the 75:

Actually, attempt to keep away from giving your bakery any data you do not have to. An excessive amount of data simply gums up the works, you guys. It is complicated. It is dangerous.

No. No, it doesn’t.
And if you do not need a reputation on the birthday cake, it is actually not a good suggestion to ask for the icing to be “Tiffany blue.”
A rose by every other identify might scent as candy, however your-friend-who-isn’t-named-Tiffany’s gonna be pissed.
Hey, talking of names, do you know there is a singer named Yolanda Adams?
I did not. Neither did this subsequent baker.
So saying, “Just like the singer Yolanda Adams” may not be as useful as you suppose:
Boops.

Then let the photograph do the speaking, so to talk. Do not add extra. Do not go on to say that you really want the bakery to “make it as Mexican as potential.”
As a result of you recognize what’s actually, REALLY Mexican?
(This isn’t the arrange for a racist joke, I swear.)
The Mexican flag.
(The inexperienced pitchforks, not a lot.)
Due to Sarah M., Morgan W., Mary P., Sandra G., & Mar O., who Sauron what I did there with the title.
