'She wanted them in a week': Cupcake baker takes order for a friend, suddenly raises the price of the order

A disagreement over cupcakes is tearing these two friends apart. 

Baking cupcakes and cakes for a living is one of those dream jobs that sounds super fun, and is actually a very lot of work. Unless you see behind the scenes, as a customer, you just can't understand what goes into creating professional baked goods. 

Many bakers do post behind the scenes videos on their social media pages, and it's incredible the amount of skill and technique necessary for these desserts. Some bakers use premium ingredients and expert tools. Sometimes they have to rent out kitchen spaces to do that, adding even more costs to them. Then you get to the actual decorating and packaging of the product, which again, takes lots of time and specialized skills. 

All of which is to say, this baker wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, asking about an argument with their friend. This is one of those cases where the OP told a story, then the comments added some more really interesting details. We've saved the best OP comment for last! 

Next, this boss went through an employee's space without permission, and now the employee wants to know what they should do next.
