You may think that opinion is morally overreacting, but I'd say that's common sense and common courtesy. If you make a deal, you don't change it without the other parties consent.

Yes I am serious.
It was a $40 cake, not some multi-million dollar project that he backed out of after weeks or months of work.
Businesses (and people) have voice-mails for a reason and it isn't crazy to expect a business to check that during operating hours.
I guess he had no idea but if he was told that the baker had a big order to fill and that would mean the cake that normally takes 30 mins to make would now take 1.5-2 hours it is pretty reasonable to expect that the reason is the big order has to be made first.
I am not a master baker but I doubt that the cake would take longer to bake because of a large order being made at the same time.
