A PIECE OF CAKE ADVICE! As we hit the summer months, wedding cake makers will be finding themselves super busy and possibly overwhelmed. Owner of The Honey Bee Wedding Cake Company and Lauren Grace Consulting, our regular adviser Lauren Grace Smy lists her top tips for coping with the crazy wedding season...
1
KEEP YOUR DIARY UP TO DATE AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE
I use Google calendar (any that syncs through your devices and is backed up online is great) so I can see at a glance what space I have available. This saves having to always have a paper diary on hand and makes it less likely that you will overbook.
2
CONFIRM ALL ORDERS IN SINGLE DOCUMENTS
If you rely on Facebook or Instagram messages, there’s a big risk these can get lost along with the agreed cake details. Transfer everything over to email and create an order form with all the details, confirmed by the customer. This gives a clear reference point when making the cake, with no need to scroll through messages working out what you’re doing.
Look to the next few months and see what you can prepare in advance
