Sorry for that background noise-my robot vacuum was on 😅

All of that makes total sense. I do not even own a business, but I am the cake person..as well as other baked goods, candy, etc. People never understand the transport element. Usually, it's about a 2 hour drive for me to family events and that makes it difficult to transport certain cakes. Not to mention the weather aspect. Like, will this buttercream hold up sitting out in a warm environment without all my hard work melting off. Unless you do all of that yourself, most people just don't consider the logistics🙃

That was beautiful, and a lot of people don't understand the time it takes to make those beautiful cakes.... You should get paid for all the hard work......❤❤❤❤

I 100% agree with charging more because it's a wedding. I'm a baker myself and the sheer stress of wedding cakes are insane. It's added pressure to be perfect since it's such a special day.

@noziashahapor9299 Год назад

100% agree with you . I am nor a business owner but I have experience working in food industry and cake making plus decorating .🙂 I will also suggest bakers to sign contract before taking any weeding orders 🙂

Yes, more ingredients, more time regarding deco, esp sugar flowers some designs have 500 or more sugar flowers. More layers, etc. Expert delivery and or repairs at venue. 💥Yessss, more..$$$$....👍🎉

The baker that did my daughter’s wedding cake offered single layer (8”) cakes for $5/each to taste specific cake and frosting flavors. It was a cheap way to taste lots of cakes. There are lots of responsibilities involved with wedding cakes as well as large event-specific cakes that have to be set up on site. I wouldn’t want to try to do it. I’ll gladly pay the expert for setup, etc.

Hi! I am starting up my wedding cake business and I'm trying to figure out how to handle cake stands...rent them out? Charge extra? I know some companies will charge the client if it's returned back damaged. I'm curious what payment platform you use on your website that allows you to charge a customer after the fact, if the cake stand is broken? Like is there a payment feature that can automatically charge their card after the wedding, rather than just sending them an invoice and *hoping* they're decent people and will pay for the broken stand?

@tangybodie4335 Год назад

I have a question… do you have a video where you go over questions to ask a cake decorator when ordering a wedding cake? My Daughter is going to talk with a couple different ones. Was just wondering if you had any advice for questions.

@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Год назад

I could definitely make a video!

Is it possible to create a beautiful cake like this, with fondant outside and deliver it to the set up venue the night before? I’m the mom of the bride and I won’t have time to deliver in the am. And the bottom level will be a fake dummy in fondant. The room should be air conditioned. Should I try to cover with something to keep dust off.

@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Год назад

Definitely. It’s been done before though I don’t recommend this since you never know what can happen to the cake at the venue with so many hours in between. Fondant holds up extremely well so keeping it in the fridge uncovered overnight would be totally fine if the refrigerator is an option. If not, you can leave it out but I would keep it boxed up.

@michelleslifeonrepeat Год назад

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thank you

@dianeolson3098 Год назад

I agree with charging for consult, tastings and delivery but not increasing the cost of the cake. Some decorators will add to the normal cost of their cakes because it's a wedding and dealing with brides(moms)because " they are more difficult to work with".

@KwincyS Год назад

If I canceled baking your kids birthday cake would you be able to figure out a replacement with out any guests noticing? Yea you could go to a grocery store and no one would care. But if I canceled on a wedding cake that would be a huge deal. You paying for that security I can only deliver one wedding cake a day. But I can have 9 regular cakes ready for pick up. You are also reserving the bakers time. If not, it would not make sense to bake wedding cakes at all. I would be loosing out on so much money.

@Lauren_P_ Год назад

Commenting for the algorithm. Beautiful cake. If people are mad about prices they can do something else. Buy a smaller wedding cake and have cupcakes to give to guests or something. I know that’s not what people want to hear, but wedding services are expensive.
