Not sure how far in advance this should be done. Thanks!

    We did ours about 4-5 months in advance (we went mid-January for our early June wedding)

    I'm in the LA area and if you want an awesome cake artist you have to go ASAP, the good ones book up fast and only do 3 or 4 cakes per weekend-day during peak season. We went in the beginning of January and had no issue booking my top choice. I would say 3-6 months in advance is typical but make sure they aren't booked for too many events in one day. That's how orders get lost or missed and mistakes/delays happen.

    We did it in May for our July wedding. The cake bakery is contracted with our venue, so we didn't have to look for a wedding cake baker though. If I had to separately book a cake vendor, I'd probably do it sooner.

    We're in the process of doing our tastings now for our November wedding, so we started at about 6 months out.

    We did our 7 months out, because we have an out of state wedding and that is when I was in town.

    Our wedding is June 2020 and our tasting is this coming July 20th. We did book that because we live five hours away from where we are getting married.

    Our cake is included with the venue. (An outside bakery provides the cakes.) We meet with the bakery at the 90-day mark.

    Like 10 months out, because we needed a break from arduous wedding tasks! 😂

    We are doing ours 3 months ahead of time! The baker requires 30 days minimum so we wanted to have much more than that just to be on the safe side!

    I'm a little under 3 months away and haven't been contacted by them yet.

    I went in March for a November wedding. I live about 3 - 4 hours from my hometown where I will be getting married and I knew I would be in town that weekend so I went ahead and got it out of the way since I didn't know when I would get the chance to go back. Our cake had to be ordered by August at the latest due to the fact that we will be getting married the weekend before Thanksgiving.

    I was told about 6 months out. I will do it to the day since I will be getting married during peak season.
