The remaining balance is expected seven days before your event. In the event of cancellation, the $50 deposit and first-half down are non-refundable.

How far in advance should I order my cake?

Orders for cakes should be placed with as much notice as possible. Because of the time and complexity that goes into our cakes, it is best to reserve your date as soon as possible.

What flavors do you offer?

We are confident we can create almost any flavor you desire.

Can we have different cake flavors in different tiers?

Yes. You can order different flavors for each teir in your cake at no extra charge, which does not affect the cost of the cake. However, please keep in mind that multiple flavors at your event can complicate cake service.

What is fondant?

A rolled sugar icing, fondant covers the outside of the cake and a thin layer of buttercream underneath. Becoming increasingly popular, fondant gives the cake an elegantly smooth, alabaster finish. We recommend fondant for more formal and structually complex cakes. Fondant is applied over buttercream frosting, enabling guests who may not prefer the fondant to simply peel it back and eat the frosting underneath.

How much will my cake cost?

Generally, our cakes are priced per serving . The price includes design, cooking, decorating, ingredients, set-up and delivery. Our pricing is governed by the number of servings and complexity of design. Adding or deleting accessories and decorations to and from a base design also effects pricing. Have a budget?
