Where are you located and do you work
out of your home?
Baker's Man Inc. works in a professional industrial
kitchen and showroom that is located in Alpharetta, Georgia.
I do all of my baking and building of my cakes out of this
kitchen. The kitchen has been inspected and approved through
the department of Agriculture of the State of Georgia and
is regulated by the laws of the state.
How do I know how much money my cake
will cost and how much should I spend on a wedding cake?
Pricing is determined by how much time and
labor I spend on the cake as well as the type of cake you
are looking for. I can create any of the specialties as detailed
here on the website as well as many more. Pricing will depend
on how many upgrades you choose, meaning, are we adding a
layer of fresh fruit or Ganache, etc... You really should
spend what you feel is comfortable, but remember quality can
be a little more expensive than your "typical grocery
store" cake. but within that, please also remember that
a chef who loves what he does and is excited about working
with you is paying individual attention to you and your wedding
cake. It is also prudent to remember that the wedding cake
can serve as a spectacular finale dessert to your perfect
day and it should reflect that in taste and quality.
How do I know that your cakes will
suit my taste and what I am wanting for my wedding?
When we initially meet to discuss your wedding
day, you will be served a small selection of the most popular
cakes that we most frequently do. I explain what each is and
what it is created from and what makes that cake great and
then I let you decide. I ask a lot of questions, helping to
understand the ultimate statement that you are trying to make.
By having this converstation, I can better help you choose
the perfect cake flavor to please the most important people
in your life.
Who delivers and sets up my wedding
cake?
I personally deliver and set up all my wedding
cakes. The main reason for this is that I want full control
over how the final product looks when it is set up at your
reception site. I usually arrive anywhere from one to two
hours before the actual reception begins so that there won't
be any stress put upon the catering manager or wedding consultant
wondering where is the cake.
How many cakes do you do on a given
day?
Since I am a one man operation, I limit myself
to the number of cakes I take on a given day. I usually do
one to two wedding cakes and that all depends on where the
cake has to be delivered to and the size and difficulty. I
work on a first down with a retainer to hold your date. I
am a firm believer in quality rather than quantity.
Where do I find information about
how pricing is done?
