More FAQ's

I went to a birthday party this weekend and there were 3 chef's there that all had questions about Let's Eat Cake! so I thought adding these questions to the list of FAQ's might be a good idea:

• You do need to cut and serve your own cake, the cake that you are serving to the the judges and the general public will need to be cut and served by you - you can do this in advance, however, keep in mind that if guests have questions they might want or need to ask you. They might want to hire you, so having business cards might be a good idea. Although when they arrive we will be providing a legend with your basic information.
• You will need to provide your own knife and cake server. However, if needed we will supply cup cake liners for you to serve your cake on.
• We will be suppling forks for all of the guests.
• Your cake display table is 66", that is a BIG table!!!! Normally that table would seat 8-10 people! So be prepared to make your cake really pop on that big table. That is also the cake that your pieces of cake will be served on/from - and you'll have a 6' banquet table behind your cake it will look like this { | O} the guests will walk in front of the "O" {round table} and your serving station, will be behind the round.
• You don't need to decorate the banquet table, only the round table. You can decorate your round display table from 3-4 while you are setting up your cake.
• Your table must be fully decorated by 4PM without any indication as to who made the cake.
• At 5PM you will be allowed back in to place any information about yourself or your bakery on the table. At roughly 5:15 we will be allowing in VIP's to start the event!
• If you are donating a cake for the auction, please make sure you turn that in with you upon signing in for the event.
• Sign in starts at 2:30, you can bring all of your cake supplies in at that time, but cannot set anything in the ballroom until 3PM.

As more questions come up, I will be sure to post them here on the blog!

See you next week!

FAQ's

Our event is coming up so quickly!

So many questions have come up, I'd like to address a few, and if you have any more questions that I don't answer here, please email me at melissa {at} masterpieceweddings {dot} net

How big is my table, what is the set up like?

You as a baker {either amatuer or pro} will have a 66" table to display your dummy cake to the judges and the general public. You will also have a banquet table behind you, a 6 foot standard banquet table. Each table will have standard linens.

If you'd like to have something "pretty" or "colorful" you'd have to bring you own.

How many servings of cake will I need? Can I serve the judges what I am serving the general public?

You will need 200 small servings of cake for the general public. There will be 4 judges in each category, both professional and amatuer. I would recommend serving something "prettier" to the judges, with an explaination of what they are eating. For example: Chocolate Cake with Cherry Moose filling

How should I serve my cake to the general public?

We are going to provide standard cake plates for the each baker, along with a fork for each guest. If you would prefer to prepare head, and slice your cake in advance. You may do so, and decide not to utlize what we provide.

What time can I arrive for check in and set up?

Baker's check in is a t 2:30, you can arrive starting at 2:30, but must be setting up your cake no later than 3:15, and be done no later than 4PM. There will be a strict time limit on this. At 4PM you will be asked to leave the Main Ball Room, and you can re-enter at 5PM to adorn your table with your business cards, and whatever else you'd like.

Please remember that nothing that signifies your business may be allowed on your table until after the judging.

Can I make the cakes for the judges prettier than the cakes for the general public?

Yes, you most certainly can! There will be 4 judges. So plan accordingly.

Can I bring an assitant to help me set up the cake?

Yes, you can bring 1 person to help you set up the cake. However any other family members or friends, must pay the entry fee of $25 in advance or $35 at the door.

I'd rather do mini cup cakes for the tasting, is that okay?

Yes, you can do whatever you'd like for the tasting, as long as you have enough for everyone.

I'd still like to donate a cake to the auction, can I?

YES! Bring the cake with you to the event, and we'll handle late cake auction entrants.


See you there!!
