hi everyone i have my first official cake meeting on Wednesday and i totally lost and scarred. i have had meetings in the past but they have been with family and friends people who i know, and i know their tastes and personalities. i am meeting a bride and her groom to discuss a wedding cake, they are friends of a friend i don't know them at all, i don't even know my friend very well (moms friends daughter) so Im so lost. the only weddings i have done have been for a cousin, a friend of a friend, and a girl whose brother was deploying to Iraq so she wanted a quick wedding, these people didnt care what it looked like they gave me free reign as long as it came in the colors they wanted. i had pics but they were on a memory chip which i lost before i could get the pics 
what do i bring, she didn't ask for a tasting, just for pics, help please anyone so lost 
oh yeah i forgot she wants me to do a mock up sketch, i can't draw with anything but a piping bag
Can you reach out to the three people you made wedding cakes for, explain the situation and ask them to send you pictures; also take along pictures of other cakes you've completed. Even if you don't get this client any future clients will want to see pictures.
Or do you have time to put together a dummy wedding cake?
Bring pics of what you do have. It will show what you have done and are capable of doing.
For the sketch-why not print off some of the templates on here for tiered cakes. With school starting I just bought some handy dandy colored pencils on sale and it's made a big difference with the sketches. The color really makes them pop and they will get a better idea of what it will look like.
Have them bring pics/ideas of what they want. Also ask about the theme of the wedding, what the invitation looks like, etc. They are all great places for inspiration for the cake.
