Tip Tuesday: Proof Read Your Order Form

These days there are multiple ways to spell even the most basic traditional name. When providing the message to your baker, even if it is spelled traditionally, it is better to spell the name for them. Not only is it important to double check the name on the order form- it is important to proof read the whole order form. Bakeries take multiple orders a day and most times the person taking the order is not the same person creating your cake. Therefore, order forms are usually all a decorator has to go off of…so make sure the things you do and do not want are clearly portrayed on the order form. If you place an order over the phone be sure to ask them to read back your order. Lastly, when you pick up your cake double check spelling then! It is a lot easier for a bakery to correct a cake then, then to wait right before your event to realize there is a mistake. Today, I googled some cake spelling and message fails….I hope you get the enjoyment out of these pictures like I did!
