Questions TO Ask Before Taking A Cake Order

We all know cakes are an essential part of the celebration and without this celebrations are not complete. When it comes to choosing any occasion cake like birthday cake, anniversary cake, wedding cake etc then you need to be more particular because in cakes there are endless options available like buttercream, ganache, fondant, customised etc. All these choices are very exciting so you can choose the cake by considering all these options and specify to your bakers.

Apart from the cake types there are several cake flavours available so you can choose the cake flavour and design by discussing with your baker so that you will have a gorgeous and delicious cake. There are few questions to ask before taking a cake order.

Filling

Filling is the important part of the cake and on this filling our cake taste will be dependent. So Whether you’re looking for a fruity filling, like strawberry, or a heavier creamy filling of chocolate, all these ingredients will make your cake tasty. If you choose some Exotic options, like passion fruit, then it will have an impact on your cost, so you need to ask for some common filling ingredients like fresh fruits or purees, mousses and buttercream, so that you will save yourself from the heavy bill.

Type of cake fondant or buttercream

All bakers are having different expertise like some bakers specialise in fondant, and others are in buttercream. Some bakers are specified in both the categories. So before ordering your cake you need to specify or ask which sort of frosting the baker will do and if you are having something in your mind then confirm to your baker whether they can work on it or not.

Special requirement like sugar flower

If you have a special requirement for your cake then ask from your baker. Like if you sugar flowers on your cake then ask your baker whether they make it or not. Nowadays many bakers can create sugar flowers for your cake and few will use custom motifs. Before ordering cake online, ask them to show their past work picture so that you will get an idea in what field they specialise in.

Preparation time

We all bakers have multiple clients. So ask them before how long it will take to prepare your cake. If you choose some complex structure or design then it will take 2–3 day and if you choose a simple design then it will take 1 day to prepare your cake. Always know the preparation time so that you should know when you will get the cake.

Who will make prepare my cake

Some leading bakeries have their own house of bakers and a designer. But in a few bakeries there are several people who work in different fields to prepare a single. Like one person does the batter and another does frosting etc. If the number of people involved then there will be no bearing on the quality of your cake, but for the design you need to talk with the right person.

Pricing of the Cake

Pricing of the cake is a common and important aspect. The price of the cake will be increased or decreased depending on the complexity of flavours and fillings. This factor will go for custom-designed cakes as well.

Cake stand

Nowadays several types of cakes are available and it is very difficult to find a perfect cake stand for a normal person. So few bakers have a variety of cake stands which they can give on a rent for day-of use. Ask them whether they have a cake stand or not. If they do not provide them, ask them which sort of stand will go with their cake decor.

Delivery process

Before ordering the cake you need to ask for the delivery process. So that you will know how the cake will be delivered and if there is any extra charge then you should know each and every detail. If you are organising a party in the resort or hotel then tell them to deliver the cake

in the reception area.

Licensed Bakery

Last important question which you need to ask from the bakery shop before cake ordering is whether the baker is trustworthy and verified. Also ask them if they have the licence by the state health department.
