Check with the Venue
Some wedding venues don’t allow you to
bring in an outside cake. It’s important to
check with your wedding venue first, and
find out if there’s a fee for not getting your
cake through them. You’d be surprised
how much it can cost per slice to make
arrangements to bring in your own cake.
Size it Carefully
You should have a good idea of how many
guests you expect at your reception. Let your
cake decorator know that, as well as how
confident you are in that number. You want to
avoid getting more cake than you need, but
you also don’t want to be short handed. Take
the advice of your cake decorator on this
topic. They do this for a living!
Shop it Around
Wedding cakes are an important part of
your wedding, and like everything else, you
should shop around for the best service.
The best service isn’t always just who has
the lowest price. You want to know how
easy it is to communicate with the cake
decorator. You’ll also want to read ample
reviews to know how others feel about their
experiences.
