1. Schedule a tasting. It is never too soon. Make sure you have at least three flavors to choose from. |
2.Wedding cake orders should be placed at least two months before your wedding. |
3. Set a budget and stick to it. Your wedding cake should be approximately 2.5% of your total wedding budget. |
4. Determine how many people will be attending. You'll be embarrassed if there isn't enough to go around or eating cake for a month if you over estimate. |
5. Make the deposit when you have chosen the baker.This will ensure your order and date are reserved. There's nothing worse than finding your dream cake only to find the date of your wedding is already booked! Also be aware of when the final payment is due. This is the last thing you will have on your mind the day of the wedding. |
6. Establish whether the reception will be in doors or out. Living in Florida means unpredictable weather and extreme heat or rain can surely ruin the look of the cake (especially fondant). |
7. Think outside the box. Cupcake towers are a new trend popping up in weddings everywhere. |
8. Don't be afraid of color. Incorporate your colors/theme into your cake. |
9. Arrange ahead of time what time the cake needs to be delivered. You don't want the cake designer setting-up as guests arrive. |
10. Remember this your day, so have fun with it! |
