I've stated before, I don't do a lot of weddings. I don't advertise for them, I personally think it's too much stress. But, if asked and terms are agreed, I have done them. I am being asked what "wedding packages" I offer. I have no idea what this means. I'm a home baker, and do all kinds of baked items, but I don't have a "package". How do I answer this? Thanks in advance.
I am a home baker too, so I will answer from that perspective. Advise the customer that you have no specific package, each wedding is different. Suggest a meeting to discuss their expectations and this gives you the opportunity to let them know what other treats you are able to supply, including a groom's cake, cookies, etc.
If you are unable to respond, just start a new post with the same title and we will understand what is going on.
I just think they have their vendors mixed up -- most b&g's are new at this -- cakers don't offer 'packages' -- venues and caterers offer packages, wedding coordinators are the package deal, coordinating everything --
cakers rarely even skirt the table or provide silverware, plates or anything like that -- we might provide cake knives, plateaus, and perhaps cake table decor like petals -- even if they want candles or something on the cake table, they usually provide it so it all matches everything else --
Okay, thank you. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something before I responded. I will respond that I don't offer packages, what I do offer, and we'll see where it goes.
yeah that's what i would do -- cakers have their hands full with what they do already and to get it right a caker would not want to complicate their role -- unless it was for family and even then when i did my kids cakes i exempted myself and my husband from other wedding duties because he was my backup -- also i was very tired at those weddings too so...
