Q. How many people can I bring with me?

Q. How much should I expect to pay for my wedding cake? Do you have a price list?

A. We do not have a general price list because each cake is uniquely created for each individual customer. Prices vary depending on the size, complexity of the design, and the time required to create your unique look, as well as supplies and tools to achieve them. Prices start around $6.00 per serving for a simple, buttercream covered cake, however on average, our wedding cakes tend to be around $6.50 per serving. On smaller orders (typically under 50 servings) cakes can be priced by the project.

We offer kitchen cakes, which are simple layer cakes, to supplement the servings on larger weddings. These are most often the same flavors as the wedding cake itself are priced at $75. per 25 servings.

Before you arrive for your consultation, it is a good idea to establish some sort of budget for your wedding cake. This will help us to create a cake that is the right fit for your special day.

Q. How far in advance should I order a cake?

A. We are often booked up many weeks, and sometimes months, ahead of time, so the sooner the better to reserve your place on our calendar. We often book cakes as far as a year in advance, but on occasion, we are able to fit in last minute requests. We definitely attempt to accommodate last minute orders when our schedule allows. Please email us to see our availability for your date.

Q. If I want fresh flowers on my cake, can that be arranged?

A. Yes. We help you arrange fresh flowers directly with your florist. We will deliver the cake safely to your venue and work with your florist to place the flowers properly on your wedding cake. We do like to be involved in the flower placement to provide the safest and most beautiful look for the design.

We can also provide beautiful sugar flowers when necessary.

Q. Do you offer sugar free or vegan cakes?

A. We currently offer a limited, gluten-free cake. We do not consider ourselves a celiac-safe bakery, for we do include flour in all of our other cakes, and there are traces of flour in our shop at all times.

All of our cakes are baked fresh to order and we do use real butter and sugar in our cakes and icings. Our cakes are beautiful and delicious.

We are told every week that our cakes are as delicious as they are beautiful. Come taste for yourself...we're looking forward to meeting you!
