Celebration without a cake? We cannot even imagine about it! Right? However, when it comes to ordering the Best Customized cakes in Dubai, it is vital to clarify all your doubts and ask the baker some critical questions. In this blog, we have curated a list of the top 8 questions you should ask the Customized cake shop in Dubai before ordering a cake.
Let’s get dive into it.
1. What do you use to bake a cake? Fondant or cream?
When it comes to customized or ready-made cake, it is vital to inquire if it is made of fondant or buttercream. At The Bakery, we do not use fondant as the base of the cake because it is the edible icing that does not taste as yummy as cream cakes. However, if your baker is using it to decorate the cake, it is fine because it will not affect your cake’s flavour.
2. Will you provide candles, a knife, a cake stand, and cake toppers?
Usually, most bakers do not provide a cake stand along with the cake; if they offer it, you need to pay extra for it. Candles and a knife are included with any cake order. Also, if you want to buy the cake topper, you can buy it for an additional cost. So, ask your cake baker about this.
3. What cake flavours and filling choices are you offering?
Whenever you are planning an event, the most fun part is cake tasting. Isn’t it? Whether you like the cake or not, you will love to go with your family and taste what you plan to serve your guests. Therefore, before ordering the Best Customized cakes in Dubai, you should ask your baker if they offer any cake sampling or not. Besides, ensure the cake shop/ baker you choose should be able to offer the cake flavour menu. However, if you have already decided to select a specific cake flavour like strawberries or chocolate, check whether they can make something like this for you.
4. Do I need to order in advance? If yes, how long?
Some bakers provide same-day delivery, while most expect advance booking at least a week before. It will give them enough time to create and organize the cake order properly. Therefore, we suggest you inquire about this. So you don’t have to deal with last-minute stress.
5. What is your cake delivery process?
It is one of the most important questions you should ask your baker because if the cake delivery process is not good, then there is no meaning in ordering the cake from that particular cake shop. Make sure the baker you select transports the cake professionally. Some cake shops/bakeries offer free delivery with the minimum purchase. Therefore, inquire about it so you don’t miss out.
6. Do you have a license?
Ensure the bakery you are choosing for the customized cake has a food license with skilled and certified food handlers. Certain event venues only allow you to bring in certified, licensed cake stores, so their credibility will increase. Ensure to inquire about the same.
7. How long will the cake I buy from you remain fresh?
Generally, the cake storage time is different from bakery to bakery. Some cake shops allow you to keep the cake for two days if stored correctly in the fridge. However, some bakers even allow you to keep it for a longer time if frozen. At The Bakery, we bake a fresh cake daily and recommend that our customers consume it within two days if it is appropriately stored in the fridge.
8. Do you bake custom cakes, or must I select from the standard designs?
It is one of the most critical questions you must ask while selecting the cake for your special occasion. Choosing from the available design options is helpful when you don’t have any specific cake design in mind. However, if you have a specific design, style, or flavour in mind, choosing the baker who can bake the cake according to your unique vision is vital.
You need to examine your baker’s portfolio well and, based on it, decide which cake you want to order. You should communicate your requirements well with the baker and let them know which type of customized cake you want for your event.
