So, you’re getting married in Poland — congratulations! Between picking the perfect venue, arguing (lovingly) with your partner about the guest list, and choosing between classic or modern decor, there’s one star you shouldn’t forget: the wedding cake. But when is the right time to order it? And how to make sure it’s not just a cake, but the cake? Relax, grab a coffee (or a glass of prosecco), and let’s plan this sweet adventure together.

9–6 Months Before — The Great Cake Hunt Begins 🍰

Yes, 6 to 9 months sounds like a lot of time, but trust me, in Poland, top wedding bakers are booked faster than summer wedding venues in Zakopane.

• Start Your Cake Research: Check Polish wedding platforms like Wesele z Klasą or Wedding.pl for bakeries. Look for reviews, check social media, and yes — start dreaming big.
• Schedule Tastings: Best part? Cake tasting isn’t just a task, it’s an experience. Bring your fiancé(e), laugh, taste, and argue whether the raspberry-chocolate combo is too adventurous for grandma.
• Book Early: Popular bakers like Lukullus (Warsaw) or Słodki Kącik (Kraków) get fully booked quickly. Don’t risk having to settle for supermarket cake. Secure your date with a deposit.

6–4 Months Before — Design Your Sweet Dream

This is the time when your wedding cake starts coming to life.

• Design It Like It’s Art: Work closely with your baker. Share your wedding mood board, color palette, or even grandma’s vintage tablecloth as inspiration (yes, that happened). In Poland, adding regional elements — folk flowers, edible lace, or even handmade sugar peonies — is trending.
• Choose the Flavors: Polish couples often go for a twist — one tier could be traditional makowiec, another could be chocolate-mousse, and the top could be fruity with berries from Polish forests.
• Logistics: Talk delivery and setup with the baker and your venue. Some Polish venues require coordination for the "cake show-up moment," so make sure everyone’s in the loop.

3 Months Before — Avoid the Last-Minute Frosting Disaster

You’re getting closer to the big day, and things can get chaotic.

• Confirm Everything: Colors, design, flavors, serving size, and delivery time. Yes, even if it feels too early, double-check. It’s Poland, and sometimes last-minute surprises aren’t the good kind.
• Order Accessories: That cute topper of you two riding a Vespa? Or maybe a Polish traditional topper with folk costumes? Now’s the time to order.
• Talk Flowers: If you want real flowers on your cake, make sure your florist and baker are best friends by now. They’ll need to work together.

1 Month Before — Final Sweet Touches

• Payment: Settle the balance — Polish vendors prefer everything to be clear before the event.
• Final Call: Confirm delivery details one more time. Better safe than sorry when it comes to cake.
• Emergency Contact: Provide someone responsible (your cousin who can stay sober till cake time) to be the contact for the baker on the wedding day.

Wedding Day — Let Them Eat Cake! 🥂

In Poland, cake cutting is a tradition full of laughter and symbolic meaning. After the big reveal (and guests shouting Gorzko! Gorzko!), make sure to enjoy the moment.

💡 Pro Tips:

• Consider a "fake cake" (decorative tiers with only one real layer) if your guest list is huge.
• In Poland, average wedding cake prices range from 50 PLN to 100 PLN per portion.
• Avoid trends you don’t like just because they’re popular — it’s your cake.
