I would include the information for the cheap wedding on a dime garbage. Why it is important to go to the right place for the right items. Yeah, Sam's cake is a lot less, but is it the taste? Make your own as it is just sugar, flour, and eggs. The cost also includes pans, electric, rent, and the years of skill involved in getting the cake. You want to spend the week of the wedding in the kitchen making a cake with your brides instead of finalizing the plans, go for it! |

Do you think this would make a good tri-fold handout for bridal shows too? Just some "quick tips" |

Hand out of the right way (i.e. Indydebi's way) of cutting a cake?
That they should never ever undermine the value of what cake bakers/decorators do!
The cake table should be very sturdy and well away from the dance floor.
Color swatches for color matching are a must! |

Point out the basic info a baker needs to even give an estimate.
When : to know if the baker even avaliable
How many servings
What type of cake : pound, van, choc
Filling type liked

What about fresh flowers on a cake? I was reading it on another thread that hydrangeas and calla lillies are definitely a no no |

good point. Fresh flowers "can" be ok ..... toxic flowers, such as hydragneas, callas and poinsettas, are the no-no. (It's in my contract that these flowers will not be placed on my cakes.) |

Look on indydebi's blog, she tries to educate brides and grooms (and wedding planners) on so many different issues, you may want to incorporate some into your speech. Good luck! |

Thanks for all the fabulous advice!! The seminar went over really well, and the ladies there had tonnes of excellent questions and seemed very realistic so hopefully they can educate the difficult brides well!
I also got told (almost scolded! lol that my prices were low, so that is a good sign.
Thanks again, i felt WAY more confident because of all the great advice you all put out
