Orlando Wedding Cakes & Desserts

Frequently Asked Questions about Wedding Cakes in Orlando

How far in advance should we book a wedding cake in Central Florida?

While there are many choices of wedding cake bakers here in the Orlando area, not all of them have the skills to execute the Pinterest cake that you’ve been dreaming of. Plan your tasting for at least six to eight months before your wedding date to guarantee that you have a few options to choose from.

How many wedding cake bakers should we interview before booking?

One of the most important steps when it comes to choosing a wedding cake is the tasting. We recommend booking no more than three wedding cake tastings to start. It may take a few weeks to get all of the cake tastings on the calendar matching your availability with that of the wedding cake company. Once you find a company that matches both your budget, flavor palette and availability on your date, BOOK THEM! Most wedding cake bakeries do not reserve your date without a deposit and signed contract.

What are a few questions we should ask the wedding cake companies that we’re interviewing?

• The basic questions would be their availability and finding out if they deliver to your wedding venue.
• The next question is to learn if they offer wedding cake tastings and if those tastings are in person or to go.
• We would suggest learning about their offerings including flavors, available sizes, and if they only make cakes or if they have the ability to do additional desserts.
• Asking more about their design process is important. Can they provide something specific to match your vision like a simple wedding cake, naked wedding cake, or an elegant wedding cake.
• Another simple question would be if you can get the cake stand from them or if they have suggestions on where you can rent one.

What are some factors we should consider in choosing a wedding cake or desserts?

The tasting is an important part of the process. While you may have read amazing reviews or seen beautiful pictures, what your guests will remember is how it tasted. Make sure to have enough time to taste the different flavor options and  choose something that you know both you and your guests will enjoy.

How do we know the wedding cake bakers and dessert companies listed here are reputable businesses?

Every company on this list is a professional. We interview each one before they join Wedding Venue Map as a Trusted Vendor. We check references not only from previous couples but also from the venues that refer them. They each have a valid business license and carry liability insurance.

What other wedding dessert ideas are there?

Many weddings in Central Florida today opt for either having only a large, elaborate cake or a smaller wedding cake with other dessert options. What do you love to eat for dessert as a couple? Is ice cream your go to sweet treat? Find a company that offers a frozen wedding dessert. Do you like tons of choices for dessert? A candy buffet or dessert bar is a great option. There are companies that offer only those services but also be sure to ask your wedding cake baker as that might be an option.
