When you looking at the hundreds of beautiful cake pics, you might be thinking, "I want them all!" Whether you got an idea of your cake in mind or if you end up planning a design with your cake maker, you expect to see the most beautiful at your reception waiting for you in all its glory. Really, the cake is the centerpiece of the party!
Imagine being inspired by this:
Designing this:
Then getting this:
I seriously think that it wasn't that she took creative liberty, but that she lost my design!
The Solution:
Always sign a contract, and if you did with your cake maker and something goes wrong you can at least fight it. Before signing though to avoid that happening, make sure your cake maker is open to communicating with you during the process of making the cake. Maybe ask for a pic sent to you as it is being made, or if you can visit, even just a phone call to double check everything is how you will like it. Always go by recommendations, see an album of their cakes, and if they don't do a tasting for you, you don't want that cake maker. Consider the question at the site below. Print it out and keep as a reference.

When my best friend got married, the bakery delivered the wrong cake. She had ordered a cake with blue fondant icing and white accents, but got white with blue accents instead. She didn't know of the mix up until it was time for the reception. She tried to fight with the baker, but they refused to refund her money saying they felt the cake they designed was a much better look than the cake she had requested. The baker actually said, "Who orders a wedding cake covered in blue icing, white is a much better, cleaner wedding look." Needless to say, we do not recommend that baker to anyone.
I'm always open to hearing the opinion and suggestions of the professional, but unless I approve of a change, I wouldn't want it! That is so horrible that the baker made that switch without consent!
That's right Melina, even if the bakery thinks that, the color combination you made is horrible for them. They still don't have any right to change it without any consent from their customers.
