The only thing you can do for the bride is not to take any other wedding cakes on her wedding day and then box the cake up cold from your cake refrigerator – into a large box that has frozen cold packs in it and is sealed up tight then placed into your air conditioned car. You then park in the shade, bring a good book and keep the car running with the air conditioner on until about an hour before they’re ready to cut it – then display it and leave praying all the way home. You also need to have the bride sign a statement that she will not blame you if something does happen to the cake because of heat – usually this gets them thinking and verbally slaps them upside the head. As you grow in this industry – and learn that there’s no place cold to keep their cake, it’s an outdoor wedding, in August’s heat………………….. you HAVE to say No to her order………… because that day alone will kill the whole year for you. Tension. It’s just not worth any amount of money she could offer you.
