Are you looking for a baby shower cake for a boy or a baby shower cake for a girl? You first need to find a baker before you can settle on the design and other aspects of the baby shower cake such as budget, colors or theme. Finding a custom baby shower cake baker is as easy as the three steps outlined below.
Ask for referrals
You have probably attended a baby shower or two and did enjoy the cake served. If you found the cake to be outstanding in taste and design, you can always ask for the contact information of the baker. Getting referrals reduces the time spent in finding a baker. From your list of referrals, you can qualify or disqualify each baker depending on factors such as the fee charged, availability, proximity to you or their terms of service. Asking for referrals is a great way to start your search for a baker. You can find great recommendations from family, friends or within your social networks.
Check online
A quick Google search for bakers will provide a detailed list including their locations, website and directions if you need. Some listing will have their ratings from previous clients publicly displayed. By going through the list, you can eliminate those that do not fit the criteria you are looking. As your list shortens, you will remain with only the best fit to contract for your baby shower cake design. One great way of shortening the list is by checking customer reviews. If a listing does not have a rating or customer reviews, it probably would be a gamble to contract such.
Conduct shop visits
The best way to find out what each baker is made of is to pay them a visit in their showrooms. From the reception you receive when you walk in to their display, you will be able to judge if they are up to the task or not. Do ask to speak to the lead chef and explain the nature of event to him/her. Ask if they have experience in baking baby shower cakes and if there is a portfolio of designs you can look at. From your discussion with the chef, do find out their charges, terms of service and availability. If everything checks out and you are satisfied in their skills, it’s time to place your order.
