Common Wedding Cake Headaches
Here are a couple of ideas to save yourself a couple of common headaches that many experience with their wedding cake.
1) The headache of the melted cake. Remember that if you’re getting married in a warm month, it’s a good idea to turn on the air conditioning in the reception area well before the cake is delivered. Unfortunately, many times it will not be on in the reception hall due to high energy costs. It’s important that you ask about this prior to booking the hall so you know whether or not you need to turn it on. Usually, having it on about two hours before the delivery of the cake should do, unless it’s extremely hot, in which case you might want to allow three or four hours. Failure to do this might result in the dreaded melted cake syndrome.
2) Another all-too-common headache: finding out too late that something is not right with the cake delivery. Maybe they didn’t bring the right accessories or equipment. The best way to avoid this is to take names! Make sure you get the name of who to contact in case of emergency on the day of the ceremony. Usually, just the fact that you asked for this name will put them on notice to get everything right. But if something does go wrong, you can get in touch with that person fast, and hopefully save the day.
