I know it’s still summer and no one wants to think about the warm weather fading away into fall….however, Fall parties and weddings are extremely popular nowadays and the favors we get in every year sell out so fast it makes our heads spin =)

If your reception hall does not provide you with a cake, and your local grocery baker just won’t do, how can a bride go about finding a great baker when there are so many to choose from?

First and foremost, pick a baker that has a Board of Health approved, sanitary storefront. Pick a baker that has experience and a baker who has established a respectable client list. Ask for references and check up on the results- see how real brides like yourself felt with their finished cakes. Interview a few bakers personally and taste the product.

When do you book?
Definately 6 months ahead. Better to be safe then sorry, you’d hate to loose out on the perfect cake because of bad planning! Make sure you have important details like date of event, location (indoor vs. outdoor) number of people attending, food allergies etc.

Designing a cake…
You can generally choose from a standard catalog of cake designs but an excellent baker can come up with a unique on of a kind cake just for you! Take into account location when designing. Utilize seashells for beach weddings, and colors that compliment nature. If your reception hall is elegant and classy, pick a cake that compliments that decor. The possibilities are endless.

Budget…
The cake is a must have. It’s a wedding staple. It’s prominently displayed and a part of the wedding festivities. If your budget is low, consider loosing the 3 tired look for a smaller, high quality cake with less details in the design. Another alternative, do it yourself…A friend of mine recently got married and his mother baked a 3 tier cake herself. It looked beautiful and tasted great and no one thought anything of it being homemade. Trust us, your guests will be happy if it tastes delicious and won’t care where you got it.

Location:
If theres one thing I learned about the cake…make sure it stands up in the heat. I had a summer wedding in florida and by the time the reception rolled around it was tilting to the left and struggling not to melt! Take that into consideration…no one want to pay $600 for a cake that lands on the floor before anyone can enjoy it =)

Happy shopping!

Good morning. We’ve been noticing an increase in our UPS/Fed Ex costs for a while now. As the price of gas increases so does our shipping costs…Unfortunatly we’ve held off as long as we can and it appears that we’ll need to increase our rates on shipping slightly.

We hate to do this but it’s been such a significant increase that we cant keep the rates how they are now. The change will take effect Friday, July 17 at approximately 6pm, after the close of business.

We hope you understand.
