Set up a cake tasting: Schedule tastings with more than one baker and make sure to try a variety of flavors and styles. Bakers may charge you a small fee for a cake tasting.
Order timing: As soon as you book your wedding venue, you should consider booking your baker as well. This may seem extreme, but boutique bakeries often limit themselves to one wedding cake per date, just as many venues only host one wedding reception per day. A popular wedding cake baker will require at least four months of lead time, although many bakers offer a rush service for an additional fee.
Cake delivery: Make sure your baker delivers wedding cakes to the venue. Most bakers recommend paying for cake delivery, especially for a tall cake with multiple layers or elaborate decoration. That way the money spent on the cake isn’t lost when a nonprofessional attempts to move or assemble the pieces.
Additional items: Decide if you want a groom's cake or if you need any additional baked goods or your dessert table, like gluten free options or themed cake pops.
