WHO SHOULD DESIGN & BAKE YOUR CAKE?
When buying a wedding cake, you have many choices. In addition to the cake's design, consider convenience and cost when choosing your baker. Miniature Wedding Cake candles make a charming bridal shower favor idea. 
Your Caterer Or Reception Hall
The most convenient option, and sometimes a required option, is to order the cake from your caterer or the restaurant or club where your reception is being held. Both will usually charge a price per head for the cake and will handle the delivery of the cake for you.
An Independent Off-Premise Baker
If your caterer or reception hall will allow it, you can also order you cake from an independent off-premise bakery. Selecting an off-premise bakery often gives you more choices in cake designs than your caterer or reception site might offer. In addition, an off-premise bakery can be less expensive than your caterer or reception hall.
A bakery may charge you a flat rate for the cake, but you will probably have to make some type of delivery arrangements. If this is the case, ask your baker for qualified delivery suggestions. You must arrange for the delivery of the cake by a professional. Do not have your mom or dad go and pick it up. Many layered and tiered cakes have to be assembled on site and their layers are transported separately. Assembling a cake could prove to be a nightmare for someone who is clueless!!!
Your Grocer's Bakery
A third option is to order your cake from your grocery store. I have seen some absolutely beautiful cakes come out of Publix! Again, you may have to arrange for the delivery of the cake, so use good judgement and ask the grocer for suggestions.
A Friend Or Family Member
And for those of you who are having a small wedding, a final option would be to have a friend or relative make the cake. If you choose this option, choose a simple stacked cake design and then have your florist arrange fresh flowers on each of the layers. Also, please ask your "home-baker" to practice several times and invite friends over for a viewing and tasting each time. You could also use the gathering to do something such as addressing or stuffing wedding invitations!
