How to choose a bakery in Columbus
- For custom cakes, ask how far in advance to order, whether they offer tastings, and what deposit and cancellation terms apply. Popular dates book up early.
- Share allergies and dietary needs when ordering, and ask how the bakery prevents cross-contact. Many shops make nut-containing and gluten-free items in the same kitchen.
- Visit early in the day for the widest selection of fresh bread and pastries, and ask what is baked in-house versus brought in from elsewhere.
- Check for local health department licensing for cottage and home bakeries where relevant, and confirm pickup, delivery, and transport arrangements for large or tiered cakes.
