[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you, nearly unanimously, say pay her. I think it's pretty funny. OP can't pay her if she never receives a bill, invoice, offhand mention of estimate, etc.  It's not OP's responsibility to graciously and tactfully ask her friend how much money to give her.

While OP probably does owe the "friend" some money, it's incredibly tacky for the friend to make the cake pops and expect to get paid for them, without having mentioned it first. Once OP has settled with the friend, that's the last I'd ever speak to her. And forget a good review or recommendations.[/quote]

Well you sound just delightful. It's always a little awkward when it's friends and not just a bussiness relationship. She probably doesn't quite know how to bring it up because she probably expected you to have casually asked. Ask now. It won't be a big deal. [/quote]

I agree with the PP you're quoting.  The OP had no idea that the woman she asked ran a business; it was on that person to say so, as soon as OP asked.

"Yes, I'd love to make the Cars cake pops.  I actually provide them as part of my business, the cost would be $XX.  Are you still interested?"

If you're going to do business, you need to be comfortable asking people for money.[/quote]
