10 Questions you should ask your portland wedding cake baker

One of the vendors you’ve surely been excited about interviewing is your cake bakeries! I get it, as a planner, sampling cakes is one of the perks of my job I’ll never take for granted.

Before setting up tastings ask your friends who they used and if they were happy with them. Check out potential bakers and read google reviews.

Once you’ve narrowed your list down to a few, set up some tastings. this will be a fun day and worth celebrating, but remember you’re interviewing a vendor and you should come prepared with a list of questions.

We’ve compiled a list for you to bring along to your tasting:

  1. What flavors and fillings do you offer?

  2. Do you create custom designs or do we need to choose from a selection of designs?

  3. Can you make sugar flowers?

  4. Do you work in Fondant or Buttercream?

  5. Is our tasting included in our fee?

  6. What size of a cake do we need to feed our guests?

  7. How do you price your cakes?

  8. When do we need to order our cake, how far in advance of our wedding day?

  9. Do you also provide cake stands or do we need to provide our own?

  10. Do you deliver?

  11. Do you offer anniversary cakes in place of freezing our cake?
