Esther agreed to bake and freeze 100 birthday cakes for her friend Jane, who was planning to open a small shop selling home-baked products, at a total price of £200. When Esther had frozen 60 cakes, she learned that Jane had been unable to secure a lease of the retail premises. She telephoned Jane to confirm that she had baked 60 cakes and was all ready to bake the last 40, but Jane said she had decided to go back to teaching instead. Esther feels very let down and wants nothing more to do with Jane. Which of the following best describes the legal position?
A.
Esther has no cause of action against Jane because she could have avoided any loss by waiting until Jane had secured the lease
B.
Esther has no cause of action against Jane because she can still use or sell the cakes, so she has not suffered any loss
C.
Esther can recover the agreed sum of £200 from Jane because she would have been entitled to this sum had Jane not been in breach of contract
D.
Jane is in breach of contract and Esther can sue for damages or bring a quantum meruit claim for £120 in respect of the 60 cakes already prepared
