Wedding Cake

Jackie, on April 26, 2018 at 22:42 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 18
How much time in advance should you pick someone to make your cake? We are thinking of doing cupcakes for the guests and a small cake for use to cut and enjoy. I know what I want but haven’t really started to look for anyone because my 31 yr old daughter said she’d take care of it. I haven’t brought it up again. Thinking I might this weekend or next weekend. What are you doing? And did you start looking into cakes a year ahead or less? Share your thoughts on this please.

    Our friend is doing our wedding cake and she said that she will need our final decision by around the 3 month mark (ours is a very simple design) if we wanted something fancier than she said she would like about 4 months notice.

    Nothing wrong with being an eager beaver Jennifer 😊. I haven’t even started looking into it. I’ve seen something I do like though.

    Jessica I think we are all on the same page with what we want. So I’ve got time then. I’ll start research about 7 months ahead of time. Thanks

    So five more this ahead of time. See my daughter is supposed to take care of the cake but she hasn’t mentioned it yet. So I was getting nervous leaving in someone else’s hands lol but I guess I’ll give it sometime.

    Good idea Brittany on the two tier cake. We are getting married April 6, 2019 so I guess I’ve got sometime to order a cake.

    I'm getting married super off season (Jan 19, 2019)... so I probably will send out e-mails for quotes/pricing in August... and ask the baker I want to go with when they require a deposit... We are just doing a mini cake (2 tiers, one for saving, one for cutting) and mini cupcakes.

    We had a friend who also did our cupcakes and cake. We spoke with her about 8 months ahead as well to confirm she could do them and discuss the price. Depending on where you live, I would suggest you look between 6 to 9 months before.

    I have a friend who has her own little side business of making desserts. I asked her to do it for me she said yes. Our cake is nothing too big it is just an 8” just for us to cut. Because of where our venue is our guests are getting dessert with their food. So all I’m paying for is the cake. We are getting married July 2019

    We paid a deposit to our baker about 8 months before our wedding, we probably could have waited until 6 months before but I don’t like chancing things I’m more of an eager beaver lol.
