re: Advice for my first 2 wedding cake orders please!

Cake Chic’s advice for transporting and taking along a “kit” is great.
When I confirm a wedding order I get the name and number of the bride’s contact person at the venue, or the name and contact details of the wedding planner. That way I have someone to get hold of on the day if I have to because its not always possible to get hold of the bride.
A week before the wedding I contact the venue and double check that I have the correct venue, the name of the reception hall at the venue (some venues have more than one), and how close I will be able to get to the reception venue- a delivery entrance means I don’t have to carry a cake for miles.
On the day I send the bride a message to let her know I have arrived and again when the delivery is done – if they are dressing at the venue they often like to come and see or send someone to see that all is well.

Heaven in paper cups!
