Santa Barbara & the Central Coast, California

Cake & Desserts

In Santa Barbara & the Central Coast: Delivery is the question here and distance is the reason. A tiered cake driven an hour or more inland in summer heat and then set up outdoors is a genuine risk that should be priced and planned rather than assumed, so ask the baker plainly where it will stand, who sets it up, and whether the venue has a cool interior room it can wait in. At $7 to $18 a slice the cutting cake is rarely the whole dessert budget. This region has real baking traditions worth using for the rest of the table, including the Danish baking around Solvang, and a small cake for the photograph with a spread served to the room is a perfectly respectable plan rather than a compromise.
