Frequently Asked QuestionsWedding CakesHOW ARE WEDDING CAKES PRICED?Prices depend on the type of ingredients and complication of design. There is an additional charge for delivery and a refundable $10.00 deposit for the board the cake is displayed on if the board is returned. Other types of cakes, like birthday cakes or other types of special occasion cakes are individually priced based on size. WHEN SHOULD WE RESERVE THE DATE FOR OUR CAKE?It is never too early to plan for your wedding cake. Reserving early gives you more opportunity to reserve the date you are looking for. It is not unusual for a couple to book their cake reservation a year from the event date. We accept bookings from 1 year in advance or as close as 3 - 6 months before the actual date as long as that date is still available. May to September is the busiest times for weddings. And a last minute cake booking is always a possibility-just call. HOW DO WE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SELECTING A CAKE?Drop us an email that way we can begin the process of understanding what kind of cake you are looking for including style, taste and pricing. We can email you a list of cake, filling and icing choices. Then if you think we are a good fit, we can set up a time for a consultation and a tasting. Spend time thinking about what style and flavors you might like your cake include. WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CONSULTATION?We make you a 6" tasting cake with a choice of 2 cakes, 2 fillings and 2 icings that you have chosen. You will have a chance to look through a portfolio of wedding cake pictures and get your cake to take home to enjoy. The charge for the tasting is $15.00 for each 6" cake ordered.
