Cakes!

Hey everyone!

I was just looking to get advice on how early I should look into reserving my date for the cake. I am pretty sure i'm going to use Jacques & our wedding is October 15, 2011. I know it seems really early but so far we have the photographer & DJ, along with the venue of course, and all of them were pretty much aleady booked for the month of October for next year. I knew it was a busy month to get married, but I never realized it was that popular :)

Any advice on timeframes you could give me it would be great!

Thanks!

    Sometimes it depends on the bakery you plan on using. Some bakers will only do tastings 6 months (or less) out.

    I believe we booked ours in Sept '09 and we're getting married this October. But she did say that we were pretty early to book.

    Jacques is excellent! I am unsure of when I will book with them for my August 2011 wedding, but I always like to put in a good word for them! I grew up with Jacques down the street and their cakes at our big celebrations.  My parents were always impressed and pleased with the services and product. :)

    If you call them they should tell you.  I booked this spring for my summer wedding, but October is a hugely busy wedding month and they may need you to do it earlier.

    I booked about a year out....actually maybe more a year and a half.  I knew I wanted to use Jacques so I got it done early.  If you go to their site and email them, they get back to you quickly.  They are great to work with.

    PS- Look at their flavors and if you have a special request you want to try, make sure to tell them.  You only test the vanila and chocolate cake and some of he toppings unless you ask specifically.  They have no problem with that.

    We booked our cake a little less than a year out.  I would call them and ask to see what their policy is.

    We'll probably be using Jacques also, but haven't booked anything yet.  The wedding is still over 13 months away.
