Hilton Head Island has plenty of bakeries and gourmet shops, but only a few specialize in wedding cakes and event-tailored goodies. Most that do not are willing to go the extra mile and create one for you according to your taste. Dozens more event-focused bakeries are nearby in Savannah, GA and Beaufort, SC and can deliver. Make sure you specify exactly what you want (like a particular shade of blue icing, for example) and arrange a tasting a few months before the ceremony to ensure the bakery can make your cake the way you want it; a bakery that doesn’t create many wedding cakes may not be as comfortable meeting your high expectations as a specialty shop. Also, regular bakeries willing to make your wedding cake sometimes have limits on how large they’ll make it, so ask a lot of questions about what they can do. Islanders often rely on tried-and-true grocery stores for baked goods to avoid last-minute disappointments that can come from independent chains’ attempt at creativity. You can never be too specific, especially when the cake holds such significance.
Candies for your wedding favors or as alternatives to wedding cake can be ordered from on-Island shops or even online. If you’re ordering hand-made candies, a week’s notice is often required for Island bakeries; if you choose a distant baker, you’ll have to place that order as early as you can.
