Ordering a wedding cake: a timeline

From tasting to the cake table, what to decide and when.

A wedding cake has more steps than a birthday cake, but none of them are hard if they are spaced out. This is the timeline we suggest for couples.

Six to eight weeks before, book a tasting. We bake four small flavours for you to try at the studio, and talk through the number of guests, the venue and the style of the wedding. A rough guide: allow about 100 g of cake per guest if it is served as dessert, less if there is a dessert counter as well.

Four weeks before, approve the design. We send a sketch with the tiers, colours and flowers, and a final price. If you want fresh flowers, we coordinate with your florist so the colours match. A two-tier cake for 30–35 guests starts at ₹5,800.

Two weeks before, confirm the delivery time and venue contact. Halls in Coimbatore often have strict loading times, and the cake needs a cool, flat table away from the stage lights. On the day, we deliver and set up the cake ourselves, about an hour before it is needed. We bring a cake knife and a server, and leave a note on how to cut and store the leftovers.
