Time Frame
You should start to look for a baker to make your wedding cake at least 6 to 10 months before your
wedding date. Don't wait until 3 to 4 months, as suggested in most wedding magazines. The more popular
months for weddings sometimes book up a year or more in advance, so keep that in mind as well.

BOOKING CAKES:

Because I like to be able to give a lot of personal attention to each cake that I make, I try to do no more than
two or three wedding cakes each weekend. I'm currently booking dates for 2009, and I suggest booking
earlier rather than later, whether you're hiring me or another professional. I'll start booking for 2010 in the
fall of this year. If I do have cancellations I will post the available dates as they arise.
It's never too early to call and ask questions!

If you are being referred by another vendor, please call me directly at 754-2084 to check on
availability and mention the referring vendor's name!!!!!

For 2008, the following Saturdays are NOT available: All Saturdays through November, Dec. 20 and
27. For 2009 the following Saturdays are not available: February 21st, April 25, May 2 and 16, July 4,
11 and 25, October 10, November 28, December 26.  Click here to find out about Friday and Sunday
availability.

If you have had a tasting appointment with me and the list of unavailable dates above says that I am booked
for your date, please call to verify that I will still be able to do your cake before sending in a contract.

SAMPLES AND PLANNING APPOINTMENTS:

Please call me at 804-754-2084 or email to acaketoremember@yahoo.com to reserve a tasting
appointment time. Include your wedding date and reception location with start time if you have that
information. The best time to call is Monday through Wednesday, since I am working on wedding cakes from
Thursday through Saturday.

Please limit the number of people at your tasting appointment to the bride and groom and one other person
when possible. The more people, the more opinions, and the more difficult it is for the bride and groom to
make decisions about design, etc. If you'd like to bring extra people, please check with me before your
appointment.

I try to be as accessible as possible based on baking and delivery schedules. However, please keep in mind
that due to the quality issue of not freezing cakes, I do not have sample cakes available at all times. If you
need to make an appointment on the spur of the moment I may not have samples for you to eat, but I would
be glad to sit with you and discuss your cake design. You could then pick up samples at a later date to
actually taste the cake.
My next available appointments will be on July 26th, and August 2nd, 9th and 16th.
