Hi annabel

I don’t think you have to although I think expectations are that a tasting is offered, besides it’s a good idea if you’re getting into wedding cakes. I don’t think this is a free service since you’ll be baking for the session so your time and ingredients would have to be costed and the figure subtracted from the final bill if the couple go ahead and hire your service. Some bigger bakers and companies do give a complimentary tasting, they can afford to! I’m sure there will be lots more advice from other members. x
