ADVICE ON: THE CAKE DESIGNER
Have a good look through the pages of Wedding Magazines or browse the web to look at both traditional and unusual Wedding Cake designs. Once you have a general idea of what you like, check out some local bakers and Wedding Cake Designers.
Find out if the designer/baker can design a cake from your design or from a picture.
Ask the designer/baker to show you a portfolio or pictures of Wedding cakes that they have previously made to help you to determine if you like the designer/baker's style and also give you an idea about their creativity.
Ask if they only deliver the cake or do they set it up - caterers do not like the added responsibility of setting up Wedding cakes that have not been ordered through them.
Ask the designer/baker if they are going to charge you any kind of deposit for items such as cake tops, pillars, or columns, which will have to be used and returned to them.
Finally, ask to taste some sample cakes!!
