FAQ

We will be happy to provide a sample box for wedding cakes $35 that can be applied to purchase. We do not keep frozen samples on hand. A cupcake is not the same as a wedding cake sample.

In-person tasting appointments are $50 for one hour up to 4 total attendees. In-person tastings will need to be held at your planners office or your venue.

We do not provide tasting boxes for cakes that serve less than 50 guests. 

We will be happy to meet via ZOOM call and/or in person. 

If you have a specific cake design you like, you are welcome to supply it. All cakes will go through a design process. We are a custom baker but do not offer replicated designs. We reserve the right to use creative judgment. 

Most cakes will require a sketch process. A reservation date for your wedding is required prior to sketching. 

 We require 1 week notice for ALL order changes. We are always happy to add cupcakes to orders to add more servings or a kitchen cake if you need to serve more guests. Because we do not freeze your cake or use cheap quick mixes, we must have enough time to properly bake, cool and decorate additional servings. 

Less guests than expected? You can easily freeze your extra servings.

We require 72 hours notice to cancel an order. The non-refundable retainer will be applied as a credit to your next order in the event of a true emergency and you have given us at least 72 hours notice.

In the event of a NO SHOW, Your order will be available for pickup until the following business day, but you are still responsible for the remaining balance. Retainers will not be refunded.

TIMELY PICKUP is appreciated and expected. If we have agreed on a specific time please make every effort to arrive on time. Frequently we have other customers arriving or need to leave to setup a large event. 

Your order should be placed in an air conditioned vehicle. Buttercream and fondant WILL sweat and melt as a result your cake may shift. We are not responsible once an order leaves our premises. Cakes should never be placed on car seats. Place them on the floorboard of the vehicle so that they are level.  

We work very hard to make these beautiful cakes for you and we would be just as disappointed as you should your cake not arrive as pretty as it left our location.

Beginning 2024, we no longer offer  OUTDOOR setups from April to mid- October. While covered venues are beautiful, they are not climate controlled.  We are not responsible for shifting, melting or food safety due to heat/humidity. Fans are not refrigeration. 

Small cakes that can be refrigerated and moved may be an option. 

Our cakes are custom and made specifically for you.
