Order A Custom Cake For A Charity Event

If you plan on serving a custom cake at a charity event, prepare the specifications for the dessert in advance. Choose a design and flavor that are each fitting for the social gathering. Prepare a serving area that will allow you to seamlessly serve your guests.

Timeframes And Costs

A popular bakery or a custom cake decorator who makes unique desserts for many occasions may be dealing with a limited schedule that will influence how long it will take to prepare a cake for your event. Looking at some brochures or menus that bakers and cake decorators offer will provide you with some basic timeframes and cost variables that you may encounter.

The complexity of a cake design and the overall size of a custom creation may influence how much a baker or designer charges. A sheet-style cake is a popular choice for large group gatherings. A round or multi-layered cake is suitable for a smaller crowd. Consider how many slices of cake you will yield from a particular cake style and the proposed shape of the pieces that you will be serving your guests.

If you are uncertain about how many people may be attending the charity event, consider the purchase of multiple cakes. Even if your guests do not consume all of the cakes, you will be supplied with some extra slices that you can encourage your guests to bring home with them. 

Ingredients And Accent Pieces

Fondant is a topping that will give a cake a smooth, sleek surface. Fondant is typically used as a substitute for a standard icing variety. Buttercream frosting and vanilla and chocolate frostings are popular icing varieties that are found on cakes for just about any occasion.

A cake designer may feature some unique toppings or may create cakes that utilize more than one flavor variety. If your cake is going to be elaborate in size, a cake designer may offer you the ability to sample some cake and frosting varieties. If there will be any honorary guests who will be recognized during the event, allow them to participate in the cake sampling session with you. Take their preferences into consideration.

Candy, fresh fruit, and syrup are some ingredients that you can add to a custom cake. These items will add an element of tartness that may be complementary to the other ingredients that comprise a cake. Use a refrigerator to preserve the freshness of the cake. Set up a table in the dining area to display the cake and serve it to the attendees.
