As you might learn, your dream wedding cake can be ordered from a baker, a caterer, or even your wedding venue. When ordering your wedding cake, there are some things that you should consider such as: the price, the workmanship, the quality and, of course, the taste. Be sure to check with your venue as many locations will charge you an additional fee if you order your cake from an outside source such as a baker. Don’t worry, ordering from a baker who specializes in wedding cakes will ensure you are getting exactly what you want for your wedding cake.
You also have to talk with you groom about other cake details: size, shape, color, decorations, flavor, filling and frosting. An experienced wedding baker who specializes in wedding cakes will advise you how much cake you will need, what flavors are popular, and which frostings will hold up over the course of your reception. Many frostings are delicate and will discolor in a particular heat/temperature. Don’t hesitate to ask for a tasting session to be sure that you love the cake, filling and icing combinations.
Once you narrow down your choices for a baker here are some questions to ask before making a final decision:
1. How many years have you been designing and making wedding cakes?
2. What are your specialties?
3. What is your most popular flavor?
4. What is your most popular filling?
5. What frosting would you recommend for our event?
6. Do you have photographs of some recent cakes you have made?
7. Can we sample your wedding cakes?
8. Do you freeze your wedding cakes?
9. How far in advance should I order my cake?
10. (If applicable) Can I order a groom's cake?
11. How much is my desired cake?
12. How much per piece does my desired cake cost?
13. What is your cake pillar fee?
14. What is your cake plate rental fee?
15. Are these fees refundable upon the return of these items?
16. When must these items be returned?
17. Do you offer a specialty box in which we can freeze the top tier?
18. If so, How much does this box cost?
19. When will you deliver the cake?
20. What is your delivery fee?
21. What is your set up fee?
22. What is your payment policy?
23. What is your cancellation policy?
24. Do you offer a money back guarantee if something should happen to the cake?
25. Do you have liability insurance?
