Words to take to your supplier

A low cake made for a generous table
A wide rectangular cake gives the cutting table a low profile and makes the surface decoration easy to see.

What I want to borrow: Choose this shape when you like a generous shared dessert appearance without tall tiers. A border and arranged fruit provide a distinct finish without a separate topper.
Adaptation to discuss: Agree actual cake dimensions, cutting grid and holding conditions with the baker. Keep any ingredient or portion labels readable beside the display, and nominate someone to serve.

Questions for our supplier:
• How many agreed portions will the cake provide?
• What is the holding and serving plan?
• Can the entire cake board fit the transport and table route?

Scope to confirm: A low cake sized for the service table and intended portion pattern.
Responsible people: Baker and venue service lead; name who accepts, stores, cuts and serves it.
Before confirming: Measure the delivery route and chilling space; agree cutting, serving and leftover handling with the caterer.
Working example (replace with actuals): Write the agreed portion total and service sequence beside the final design; the baker confirms portions, storage and delivery requirements.
