Lots of details go into planning a wedding, and that includes knowing when to order a wedding cake. We recommend that couples book the wedding cake at least four to six months in advance of their wedding date. If your wedding will take place during the most popular months of the year, May, June, or October, we suggest you order your wedding cake no later than six months before your wedding.
Questions to Ask When Selecting Your Wedding Cake Baker
Along with knowing how early to order a wedding cake, you should also prepare a list of questions to ask a prospective wedding cake baker:
- What fillings and flavors are available?
- Will the wedding cake we have in mind work for our guest count?
- Do you have a portfolio of past wedding cake designs?
- How are your cakes priced?
- When do I need to order the wedding cake?
- Are there any decorations or embellishments (such as sugar flowers or fresh flowers) that you’re unable to do?
- Can you deliver our cake to our wedding venue?
What Should I Do Before Ordering My Wedding Cake?
A wedding cake is an expression of your style and tastes. Before you order a wedding cake, take some time to prepare for your wedding cake consultation.
Research ideas in advance
Scour the internet and social media for inspiration. Organize your ideas in a file for easy reference. Be ready to explain the style you’re looking for and the theme for your wedding, if you’ve selected one.
Determine your wedding cake budget
Be upfront with your bakery about how much you want to spend on the cake. Knowing how much you’ve allocated for the cake within your budget will provide your bakery with a frame of reference for creating your wedding cake.
Have the details about your wedding ready to share
Make sure you have all the pertinent details about your wedding available for your bakery. You’ll want to provide the name and street address of your wedding venue, the time of the event, the name of your wedding coordinator (if you’re using one), and special delivery instructions for your venue.
