Destination wedding cake tasting?

Michelle, on June 24, 2018 at 2:09 AM Posted in Planning 0 5
I am getting married about 8 hours away from where I live (wedding is in Vegas). I have no friends or family who live there and do not have time to go to the location before the wedding on October 10, so no way to have a taste test. I will be arriving in the city two days before the wedding, probably later in the day, so I don't think I could schedule a testing at that time.

I heard some suggest having the place ship you samples, another said to try to do a taste test locally to at least get an idea of flavors you will like, while the final suggestion I heard was to trust the baker.

I am curious what you guys think is the best solution?

    I'd either have samples shipped to you or go to a local bakery to try similar flavors.

    Tasting flavors locally is a good idea. Or just trust your vendors. We did a DW to. No makeup/hair trials, food tastings, etc. we did our vendor research & trusted them... everything turned out amazing!

    The bakery we are using is a top rated one on WE and recommended by our venue so trusting them is not a terrible option.

    I"d probably just trust the vendors based on reviews and/or ask for a reference or two to talk with. It seems like shipped samples wouldn't taste the same as fresh cake? Anyway, I'd picture a place with an excellent reputation and go with more standard flavors I think (and ask what their most popular choices are).
