Finding that perfect bakery can be very hard at times. Never assume just because a bakery bakes cakes and pastries it means they are good. I feel many bakeries over charge a lot more money than some depending on the area you live. If you do a little research you can actually compare prices to see what price range to expect. This way you won't get over charged. Some bakery places see young couples coming in so they figure they can take advantage of them knowing they need a special cake. They try to make more money off of them, by adding on hidden costs towards the end. This way once everything is said and done it's too late to do anything. So follow these important tips so you can get that perfect cake for your special occasion:

1. When you go to a bakery shop always make sure you have plenty of questions in mind to ask. Make sure you know exactly what you want so it can be perfect. Take your list of people coming to your party with you. This way the bakery doesn't have to guess how big to make the cake. Always make sure though you get your cake a few inches bigger you are always better off having more than less. It won't make a huge difference in price maybe only by a few dollars or so.

2. If you are getting a edible picture on your cake, bring that picture with you when you fist go. The picture you pick can be of any size, colored, black and white, from a magazine, or maybe even a sketch you made up. Sometimes when you go and choose a picture of a character for a birthday cake their colors and sometimes the characters look very different than what you have. If you bring your own character picture you know it will come out right to please your child. I have seen many pictures of characters in a bakery that look nothing like they do on t.v. so just make sure you keep this in mind.

You should start selling birthday cakes, too!! What a creative talent you have. Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us. On second thought - just get your own TV show like Martha Stewart did. You are such a charming person - people love what you do and what you write about. The simple, resourceful ideas sure made Rachael Rae rich and famous. You got talent and personality that would blow either of these two off the air. Love you - cutie!

I have bought a cake from a local place that is excellent at making other sweets, but the cake's taste leaves a lot to be desired! Great tips!!

You make some very excellent points here. Decorating and making a cake is definitely a talent and it is important to make sure, as you said, that you like that person you are hiring's particular style ahead of time, before dishing over the cash and ending up disappointed.
