7 Critical things to demand from your wedding cake provider!

Does yours stack up?

The wedding cake is a huge part of your special day and deciding on the right vendor for your perfect cake is a big decision. Make certain that you discuss these items with the cake providers you are considering before placing your order to make absolutely certain that you are getting what you want at the price you want to pay.

1. No Hidden Fees:
Get it in writing. Even some of the most respected cake vendors deliver final bills that are guaranteed to shock you. You should expect to pay more if your requests change, but otherwise make them put it in writing that the final quote will equal the bill.

2. A great reputation:
This one is obviously a bit subjective but extremely important. If your chosen reception site, caterer, photographer, etc have never heard of the bakery you are considering, they are probably either not a legal (health department regulated) facility or they just don't have a great reputation. Even though the Phoenix Metro area is huge and growing every day, those companies that are the best in the wedding business know other companies that provide quality service. When in doubt, ask a vendor that you already trust who they would recommend.

3. Guarantees:
Again, get them in writing. Whether they offer satisfaction guarantees, on time guarantees, or anything else. Any reputable company has specific policies relating to their guarantees and you should always get them in writing before choosing a vendor.

4. Flexible Schedule:
Most bakeries are open until 5:00 PM on weekdays and around noon on weekends (if at all). If you have a regular job, scheduling a cake tasting can be a nightmare. Make sure that you evaluate companies that can work around your schedule and make preparing for your special day as painless as possible.

5. Multiple Payment Options:
With your honeymoon on the horizon, house hunting, and all of the other expenses, cutting a check for the wedding cake may not be the most reasonable way to pay for your dream cake. Make certain that the vendor you choose accepts credit cards as an option for payment.

6. Staff Appearance:
If you have ever been to a wedding and viewed a guy in a dirty tank top setting up a wedding cake (we actually have) you know how tacky it looks. The staff of your chosen vendor should all be dressed like they are there enhance the wedding, not to crash it.

7. Proven creativity & skill:
If you desire a non traditional wedding cake, make certain that your chosen vendor can show you some of their more unique work. Only then will you be able to tell if they can accurately recreate your vision.

While none of these 7 things seem groundbreaking, you would be absolutely shocked at some of the stories we hear. Ask everything up front so there are no surprises and have a wonderful wedding day.
