You should order your cake at least 3-6 months before your wedding day for best result.
Taste the Cake First
You must choose the flavor suitable for you. Taste cake first before you buy it. If there is any something that not suitable for you, you can discuss it with the baker.

So, make sure that the taste is a part of & strengthening the whole wedding theme. You would rather see another cake designer if they don't let you taste cake.
Fresh Flowers or Gum Paste Flowers
If you want to put fresh flowers on the cake, assure that the flowers are free from pesticide. Gum paste flowers that made with dough of gum paste commonly are more expensive than real flowers. Be sides shape has to resemble with the original's shape, the dough composed of a lot of materials such as glycerin, gum Arabic, and icing sugar.
Fondant or Butter Cream
Fondant (candy) shape may be look interesting, especially with attractive colors. But may be it is not as nice as its appearance. Whereas butter cream, hmmm yummy, but can melt easily. If it is the problem, just compromise. You can put butter cream layer under the fondant.
Shipping
1. Find out how much your cake will cost to ship to you. Usually cake designers are offering free shipping, because they have included it in their package.
2. If you buy a perishable cake such as chocolate & cheesecake, it will require refrigeration on shipping. Assure that the car which ship your cake has full air conditioning to prevent the cake from melted away on the way.
3. You won't your cake comes late or come to wrong address, will you? So, tell your cake designer/baker about your wedding schedule & the address completely.
