Hello i was just wondering if cake tasting are done by any one here and how they are ussually handled......
I have a bride that would like for me to do this as shes not sure what she wants.......
seems like a alot of work........
I understand the need sometimes...I heard of setting dates for tastings so that several people taste at a time so theres no waste but for instance at this moment she s the only one that needs one.... 
I remember when DH & I got married 7 yrs ago that when we went to the bakery to taste test we actually had to buy what ones we were considering. They were 6 inch cakes with just icing, no decorations, and we chose which ones we were interested in. Unfortunately I don't remember how much we were charged but we did buy several.
What about giving the bride a choice of which ones you do, let her pick and charging a small fee which would compensate for some of your time?
Just an idea.
I love the cup cake idea as i see that would also make serving easier........
I would love to hear any other suggestions!
For my first tasting, I only offered four flavors of cake and one buttercream icing recipe. So I made mini loaf cakes in each flavor with buttercream icing. The tasting was for the bride and groom only so I made them two of each and two more each for them to taste later. I actually gave them until Monday to decide on a flavor.
Now that I have more cake flavors on my list and more buttercream icings too, I may have to change the way I do this.
I would suggest letting your customer decide on 3 or 4 flavors out of the many flavors that you offer. Next time I may make 4 or 5 in cakes just so they can see my decorating skills.
If you don't want to decorate for the tasting make sure you have a album of your previous decorated cakes.
