Beach Wedding Cakes..How To Find a Reliable Vendor



You’ve got your beach wedding favors sorted out, snatched a bargain designer number off Ebay, and checked the weather reports. Now there’s beach wedding cakes to look at.. Here I share some of my best tips for finding a reliable wedding vendor.


1. I’m gonna recommend straight off the bat that you get the hotel you’re staying at to prepare one for you. Most hotels will throw these in for free. If you’ve decided to design your own though, check with the hotel if it’s ok to bring your cake to the country. Some don’t allow it.
Word of Mouth
2. Use your own judgement and ASK AROUND. Ask your girlfriends and your family. Just say to them, “Hey, do you know any decent vendors around”. I advise you go to at least 3 vendors and check each of their prices. The vendors to look for are those that actually want to help and not just see you as another potential sale.
3. Request a ‘taste seating’. This is where you get to taste various beach wedding cakes at the same time. Tip: go with your girlfriends and make a day of it!
4. Bring some pics of wedding pictures you like with you and ask each vendor how much it would be to do the same for your wedding. Generally, the moto is, “If you can dream it, it can be made”.

Beach Wedding cakes can cost anywhere from $2 to $15 per slice! So look around and use your instincts. The best way I’ve found is usually through word of mouth. So get asking!
