A custom cake is not just a dessert, but the centerpiece of your party. It can be a birthday, wedding, or anniversary, but your cake should be a perfect match for that occasion. However, this is where the problem lies: a custom cake is not always as easy to order as to do on the internet. Most people hurry the process and get results that fail to satisfy their expectations.

It is all known to us at MyBakers, and we understand what may go wrong when a custom cake order is placed. We have compiled the 5 most popular mistakes that people make when ordering a custom cake online- and how to avoid them so that you do not end up disappointed.

1. Leaving the Order Until the Last Minute

As compared to the ready-made cakes, custom cakes need time to be designed, baked, and decorated. So, waiting until the very last minute to make your order is one of the greatest mistakes you make. 

• Why it’s a problem: Orders placed in a haste situation are usually accompanied by fewer choices of design, no choices of flavors, or even the possibility of not receiving a cake at all.
  
  

• How to avoid it: You must make your order early, at least 5-7 days prior to the event. We ensure that at MyBakers, the process of scheduling is easy because we offer flexibility in pre-booking the cake so that it is delivered fresh and on time.

2. Not Being Clear About Design Details

Customers sometimes say, I want a princess cake or Make it look elegant and do not give exact specifications. The result? Poor communication that results in a cake not according to your vision.

• Why it’s a problem: Blurred instructions want explanation, and your baker is also not able to make what exactly you imagined.
  
  

• How to avoid it: Be specific. Post photos, color choices, and even minor details of design that you would like to be added. At MyBakers we want you to post references and customize everything online, so what you see is what you get.

3. Ignoring the Flavor Over the Look

You can get swept up in the way your cake is going to appear in photos, but taste also matters. There are those who place big orders on fancy designs without much consideration of tastes.

• Why it’s a problem: It can be a disappointment at the party to have a beautiful cake that no one likes eating.
  
  

• How to avoid it: Select tastes that are appropriate to your guests. Chocolate or butterscotch can be a hit, in case it is a party among kids, and fruit or red velvet can be more suitable in weddings. MyBakers provides tasting suggestions and a broad choice of flavors, and hence your cake tastes as fine as it appears.

4. Forgetting About the Size and Guest Count

The other frequent error is that of underestimating the cake size. In some cases, customers will purchase one that is too small to serve all their guests, whereas in other cases, they will purchase a cake that is too big and end up wasting it.

• Why it’s a problem: A miscalculation of cake size and the number of guests may be embarrassing or costly.
  
  

• How to avoid it: Always share your guest count with the baker. An average 1 kg cake can feed approximately 10 to 12 individuals, and a 3 kg cake can serve 25 to 30. At MyBakers, we have a cake size guide that will guide you to the appropriate size for your event to ensure that all guests have a perfect slice.

5. Not Double-Checking Delivery Details

Most individuals overlook delivery information such as time, address, or storage requirements, even when the design and flavor are already decided.

• Why it’s a problem: Delays in the delivery of a cake or delivery to the wrong place can spoil the whole party.
  
  

• How to avoid it: Never place the final order without verifying the delivery address, time slot, and contact number. MyBakers has a good delivery system that ensures that you receive updates and tracking of your cake to make sure it arrives fresh and on time.
