  • I show you how to prepare and package a beautiful and professional looking cake tasting. This is especially helpful for home based, cottage bakers who meet their clients at a restaurant or another location besides their home.

    Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I just had a bride ask if I did cake tastings. Since I just started my home bakery business I haven't gotten to this point yet. I'm very happy that I found this as it gives me a great idea on how to accomplish this next step!

      Hi Aleida, I modified a basic contract I found online. I have tweaked it over the years as needed. I would suggest googling wedding cake contract and finding one that suits you, then adding anything that is pertinent to your business.

      Up to 3 months is the longest I have frozen them for. I know people do it for longer but I always use mine up in about 2 months. You can always do a 6 inch square cake if you won't use that many servings by 3 months.
