Getting The Wedding Cake You Want
Your wedding cake may not be the biggest thing to worry about - but it is on your list. We all want the cake to taste delicious - but also to look heavenly. Many cakes (when done right) will look so beautiful you will want to stare at it rather then take a slice out of it. In order to make sure that you are going to be using the right baker you need to do your research and ask all of the necessary questions.
- Ask for a Tasting – you want to try both the various types of cake and frosting. You are looking for flavor combinations and more. Some bakers will provide you with small sample cakes of your chosen cake flavors
- Ask about Customizing – Does the baker make custom designed cakes from either a photo or you own hand drawn pictures? This is only important if you want a customized cake design.
- Ask to see their Portfolio – Most professional bakers will have a portfolio featuring every cake they have ever designed or made, ask to see them to get a feel for the types of cakes they’ve made.
- Ask about their Cake Preparation times – Many bakers will bake and decorate your cake days ahead of your wedding, but you don’t want it done more than 10 days and no less than 2 days before.
- Ask about delivery and set up – Does the baker deliver and set up the cake for you on the big day. If they don’t, you need to discuss the pick up and set up with the catering service.
