Picking up a sheet cake or two from a local store is not what I'm referring to. Tiered cakes, decorated cakes, multiple different cakes.....most of the time, these cakes are heavy, delicately decorated, and require extreme caution with carrying, loading and unloading. If it melts or gets bumped during delivery, the baker is experienced and can fix it quickly. They do this every day, so they fully know what to expect and what to do when these things happen.
In the grand scheme of things, saving a hundred or two by having someone pick up the cake isn't worth the worry. You might even incur additional cost by replacing the damaged cake at the last minute. Your planner can always assist you with many different ways to cut back on the budget and save money, and those are ways that won't put the cake for your special day in jeopardy!
