Not All Bakers Are Equal: Why Your Florida Wedding Cake Deserves a Licensed Pro

Your Dream Wedding Cake Deserves More Than an Instagram DM

We get it—wedding planning is overwhelming, and a quick message to a “baker” on social media might seem like the easiest route. But when it comes to one of the biggest (and most photographed) moments of your big day, not all cake vendors are created equal.

And in Florida? Where sunshine meets humidity year-round? You really want to be sure your cake is in the right hands.

The Problem With Unlicensed Bakers

Many social media bakers operate from home kitchens with no inspections, no insurance, and no backup plan if something goes wrong. While they may offer tempting pricing, here’s what they may not offer:

• Required food safety certifications

• Venue approval (many require licensed vendors)

• Refrigerated transport

• Commercial-grade stability in warm weather

• A team with experience handling wedding day logistics

Let’s just say… not all cakes survive the backseat of an SUV in 95-degree heat.

Our Promise: Cold, Safe, and Stress-Free Delivery

At The Cake Girl, we never cut corners. We don’t risk your cake’s safety—or your reputation—with unprofessional delivery practices. That’s why we use refrigerated vans for every single wedding delivery.

From Tampa to Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg to Sarasota, we’ve worked with the top venues and know exactly what it takes to make sure your cake arrives cold, fresh, and stunning.

Licensed. Inspected. Trusted.

As a fully licensed and insured bakery with a physical location, we follow all health and safety regulations required by Florida law—and then some.

This isn’t just about compliance. It’s about peace of mind. You’ve invested so much into your wedding—why leave the cake to chance?

Venues Love Working With Us—And So Will You

Many venues in Florida won’t allow deliveries from home-based bakers or unlicensed vendors. That can create unnecessary stress if you find out too late.

We’ve worked with wedding planners, coordinators, and venues across the region—and we’re proud to be on preferred vendor lists throughout the Tampa Bay area.
