Dear Genevieve.
I am writing to you with regards to the wedding cake my wife and I purchased for our wedding on August 29th, 2009. Our experience with you from our initial contact to your sharing of pictures of our cake after the wedding has been nothing short of exceptional. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your service and professionalism, and to let you know we will refer anyone looking for special occasion cakes to you in the years to come.
As a reminder, our wedding included 175 guests from all over the world. My wife and I were very diligent in the selection of our cake provider, and you exceeded our expectations every step off the way. You were prompt in answering our initial inquiries, flexible with regards to appointment bookings, and very competitive on price given the complexity of our order. The combination of your knowledge, professionalism, and focus on service leave you unmatched in our opinion. Not to mention, the cake was gorgeous and absolutely delicious! Our discerning guests travelled from Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, and the Netherlands, as well as from all over Canada and the United States. Each of our guests was blown away by our cake, with the number of people attempting to photograph the cake being the only thing that kept our guests from immediately devouring it.
We truly feel that we lucked out by finding someone as talented, professional, and friendly as you to prepare the cake we shared with our friends and family on our special day. We not only look forward to referring our friends to you in the future whenever they are looking for a speciality cake, but also ordering from you again sometime in the future ourselves!
Best regards,
Rajan & Julie
How to transport a custom cake -
If you are purchasing a wedding cake my best advice is to pay the extra cost to have your cake delivered. Especially for taller cakes transportation can be the most nerve-racking element in cake design, so let a professional take the responsibility! Included in the cost of delivery is set up at your venue and also having the baker on hand to fix anything that may have happened during transit. If you take this on yourself you can’t guarantee that your baker will be able to make a trip out to your venue should anything happen and the cost for emergency repairs could be more then the delivery was to begin with. Picking up your own wedding cake and the stresses that go along with it are the last thing your need on your special day.
For special occasion cakes I highly recommend paying for delivery on cakes that are 3 tiers and higher as they are more likely to slide, tilt or fall during transit. No matter the cake make sure to place it on a flat surface. This might be your passenger side floor, your trunk or the back of your mini van or suv. Placing your cake on a seat causes it to sit on a slant which could cause it to tip over if you hit a bump or excellerate too quickly. Typically your cake will be on a board which is large in diameter then the cake itself. Therefore, if your cake is in a box (no matter of the height) if it slides during transit then the board will hit the side box and the cake itself should not get damaged.
Storing a custom cake -
For all fondant covered cakes you can safely store them in a home style fridge but should never put them in a restaurant/commercial fridge/cooler or a camping style cooler. The reason being is that commercial fridges and coolers lack air circulation and are humid and the fondant will melt and slide off of your cake. Fondant covered cakes can safely sit out for a number of hours before being eaten and I recommend this, as eating a room temperature cake tastes much better then a cold one. Make sure to keep your cake out of direct sun light and extreme heat and humidity as this can cause the butter cream to spoil and the cake to sag. On humid days you may notice that your fondant cake becomes shiny. This is because, just like a cold glass of water on a hot summer day, it is sweating. This shine will go away once your cake is no longer cold. Just avoid touching the cake while it is shiny as it will be sticky and you will leave finger prints on it. Putting your cake back in the fridge will dry out the fondant again and get rid of the shine.
