<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

A bit of backstory. I'm getting married in July. I got engaged this last june. One of my coworkers and bridesmaids was going to make my wedding cake, she offered to make it literally minutes after the proposal (she was there) and even refused payment cause it was my wedding gift. I was thrilled because I know I would end out with a cake that was up to my standards (being a pastry chef, my guests have some serious expectations)

Long story short, for personal reasons of hers mostly that she "shouldn't have offered and cannot afford to make it", she has cancelled my wedding cake about four months away. This is too short of a period of time for me to be able to book a cake that would be up to my standards, especially not having it budgeted in. She also does not want to be a bridesmaid anymore, probably out of embarrassment. 

I am considering just making my own wedding cake, or cupcake-cake, perhaps. I have two remaning bridesmaids who would be able to help with it (professionals) and it would be better, less expensive, and fresher than getting a cake from a bakery I could afford, or cupcakes from a cupcakery. 

what do you think? pros/cons?
<bot>: my baker bailed on me, and i can't afford the kind of cake I would want, should I just make it myself?
