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!!
