In days gone by, the three tiered Wedding Cake in Chicago was the way to go; however, in today’s modern society, so many more options exist for the bride and, yes the groom too, to choose from. When it comes to choosing the Bakery Shop In Chicago who will design the most special cake of your life, there are a few tips of the trade to make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for.
SHOP AROUND
Looking around the city at some of the nooks and crannies for bakeries you might not have considered is a great way to find a place to place to do your wedding cake. These smaller shops also might not book up quite so quickly. The smaller shops, while having a smaller staff, may be able to give your cake the personal attention to detail you want. Ask around at the place you go to for pastries and tarts if they do cakes, too. Keep in mind to start your search for a custom bakery at least 3-6 months in advance of the big date, giving yourself plenty of time to find a good place.
INTERVIEW THE PROSPECTS
If you’re shopping around on the phone and online, take a look at their gallery and ask what kind of style they specialize in. Would they consider their style modern, traditional or elaborate? Inquire about the average price range per guest, picking 2-3 bakeries in your price range. Then schedule a meeting to look over the pictures of the Wedding Cake in Chicago they’ve made in person and talk with the representative in their shop.
TASTE
It all ultimately comes down to the taste of the product. While the cake can look fabulous, if it doesn’t taste wonderful, you might as well have had a photograph up instead. When you go for your consultation, be sure to have a sample taste of the product. Then, ask for references from previous satisfied clients. Follow up with the references to make sure they were in fact pleased with the cakes and the service of the bakery staff.
