How long before the wedding do you deliver a cake?

I have my very first wedding cake due on Feb 24th, the Wedding starts at 3pm. The cake is 4 tiers, 2 of Vanilla Butter cake w/Lemon Curd and Cream cheese and 2 layers of Chocolate cake w/Cream cheese. So I'm kind of concerned about how long this could sit at an outside wedding, but don't want to be scrambling to get the cake set up either.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Nic

Give yourself plenty of time. I would have the cake set up at least 2 hours before the wedding. If you shoot for that time, there is still time to setup and fix any problems that may have occured during delivery or setup.

I would think the weather would still be a little cool then, I try to get there at least 1 1/2-2 hours before the reception, because you never know what could happen! I think the cake would be fine.

did you mean to say FEBRUARY 24th? Is that next year or did you mean another month other than February?

Thanks for the encouragement. I sure do need it since its my first big cake. Charging a couple hundred bucks for a cake sure puts the pressure on you icon_wink.gif
