I have a pretty big wedding cake coming up, and i personally know the person who is buying the cake. But the $$ is kinda big number, so she will probably pay in payments. My question is, if the cake is $200... what would be a good payment plan to go with. I'm pretty sure I will need atleast $50 of it for all the supplies. Should I go with payments of $50.00, or only two payments of $100. This is my first wedding cake i've been paid for, so i kinda need some experienced cakers out there that can give me some good advice in the money aspect. Thanks!
I do a 50% or $300 non-refundable deopsit (which ever is largest) with the balance due depending on how large the amount in either 1 or 2 more payments with the entire balance due at least 14 days prior to the event. If your cake is $399 or less you pay the entire amount at booking. Even if you are a friend or family - ESPECIALLY friends and family...they will take advantage of you way before a stranger will!
Regarless of the total for the cake, I require 50% non-refundable deposit and the remaining balance due 30 days before the wedding.
If they want to make periodic installments before the 30 days, fine.

This is my policy as well.^^^^^^^^^^
OP even though this is for a friend be sure you draw up a contract with all of the details and have all parties initial and sign the important sections i.e. cake details, # of servings, flavors, date, time, venue, price, deposit amount and final due date....to name a few.
I require half up front and the rest to be paid in full 2 weeks prior to delivery.
