Cake Tasting -what are basic things i should know and ask about?

When your cake tasing, inquire 25% less of the guests count since you know not everyone will be having it. Take a picture of a cake ypu like and compare it to thier style. Ask these questions:

What is the pricing of cake per person?

What are the prices for different tiers?

If we choose to go with fondant icing over regular, how much more will it cost?


A tip to keep in mind is order enough to avoid any wastage. If you happen to go with fake tiers and a top tier, consider getting a slab cake that can be served if seated dinner.

We have some tips for you!

Wedding Cake Tasting 101

9 Questions to Ask a Wedding Cake Baker

Flavour is numero uno. Asking about decoration options, icing type for the time of year (heat, cold, indoors/outdoors), size of the cake, tiers, options for flavours (different flavour per tier, one flavour, etc)... Pick-up or delivery? Additional dessert options?

We went cake tasting a few times till we found the right one! Taste is most important of course but some of the questions I asked were when would my cake be made and how would they keep it fresh if not made that day, if they deliver or not, if it's all homemade, if they are nut free (allergies), if they do edible flowers or not. I would suggest showing them a picture of the cake/ cupcakes you want so you can ask for a price range also.

I think that’s the main thing is knowing which is delicious! Lol ours let us pick as many flavours as we wanted. I think there were like 8 that we tried lol We picked out our faves (we’re dokng cake and cupcakes so we wanted a few options). I’m sure they’ll go over things with you and ask questions to figure out what you want. I’d take in some photos of how you want it to look and go from there. We found out quickly how expensive some cakes can be based on the detailing so we’ll be going a little more simple to save money.

My fiancée and I went to the first bakery that we had heard good reviews about and asked for a cake tasting. They asked us to pick 4 flavours and we went there and tried them out! I had no idea what to ask but we wanted something fairly simple and small since we are having other deserts. They will ask what kind of decorations you want on the cake and colour. If it’s a summer/ outdoor wedding, you need to thinking about the icing. They will usually make suggestions!
We decided to get our cake from this first place but I think some people like to try shop around. It really depends on you guys!
