Tip: make the wedding cake yourself BEFORE planning the wedding.I hired a caterer believing it would make a wedding cake for me like other caterers have done at other events I have planned. However, the caterer I got did NOTHING! She had access to a kitchen with everything she might need but she didn't cook or bake anything. I don't know if I just got a horrible caterer or what happened, but since weddings are one time events and important I would advice to not make the mistake of trusting the caterer and simply make a cake yourself before the wedding. Then at least you have a cake and a possibility of getting a gold medal on your event.Xoxo,Zubiila :)

I had Pancake Bob as mine and he made nothing, but pancakes one time...

Same here, I had the time to coke myself the cake before the end of the wedding. Bob Pancakes never cooked anything X) He only added some decoratives hearts on my cake loll :)

Caterers and bartenders are definitely broken. They either do absolutely nothing except dance, or they constantly serve a ton of food and endless drinks. I had a small party with 6 guests and at the end I had 15 untouched drinks laying around the place! I also have yet to see a caterer make any cakes for events. :\

I have yet to have a caterer actually cook food. I don't even bother booking one.

Wedding cake - don't trust the caterer to do it!

My caterers never make anything. They just start making tons of garden salads, then they stop and go do something else. They never finish a single one, so I just have tons of unfinished food laying around.

One of my caterers kept making cakes for a birthday party and whenever someone blew out the candles, he'd replace relight them. Like five sims aged up at that party.

Also he kept making some fruit thing and sims kept eating. Not only did a bunch of sims get old, they also got fat...

I have started using the buffet and fountain from the party pack for my weddings. No caterer or pianist - and was able to get a gold metal on one of them. I always used to have a back up cake as sometimes the caterer did make one sometimes not.

I almost always have this problem at birthday parties; the caterer fails to make a cake and I have to rush in at the last second and try to make one in time. Having a spare cake at the ready is a great idea.

This happened to me once. Before I realized my caterer did not even bake a wedding cake the time was about out. I think I got a bronze or silver because of that. What the heck.
