I got a request to make a grooms cake, but not the wedding cake. It is not anyone I know, It is just someone that contacted my bakery regarding a grooms cake for her wedding, but my question is... who is doing the wedding cake??? I dont feel comfortable doing the grooms cake and not the wedding cake. Has anyone else had this happen? Did you do it? Am I over reacting?

Usually it's the other way around -- I won't supply a wedding cake if any other cakes are at the venue -- for two reasons: first, I don't want my cake being mixed up with someone else's cake (quality issues) and second, if someone gets sick at the venue I'm certainly not going to get into a he said/she said finger pointing argument over whose cake made them sick. As for your situation, I'm waiting to see what other offer on this.

I'll do a groom's cake for a rehearsal dinner but not for the wedding if I'm not making the wedding cake too. I had a bad experience delivering an awesome groom's cake to a reception where the wedding cake was horrible. I don't want anyone thinking that I made a crappy wedding cake if that happens again.

This ? has been floating around cake boards for a very long time. Most of us take the stand as the other posters have already said.........basically 'no' BUT....
Watching all the cake shows on TV I remember one time Christiphor Garen(sp?) (from Orange County beach area, CA) mentioned he was dong a groooms cake where someone else was doing the wedding cake. My thoughts now are if such a big name decorator can NOT be concerned maybe we should not be either.
