faq’s
How do I inquire about Availability, pricing or place an order?
All these questions can be answered after filling out my order form that can be found by clicking HERE .
Can I place a next day or same day Order?
Custom Cake orders require 3 days notice at minimum and availability is not guaranteed. Any Custom Cake order placed 5 days or less from pick up/delivery date is subject to a fee.
Can I pick Up my order the day before my event?
All of my creations are baked to order without preservatives, so your order is intended to be consumed the day of pick up/delivery. I cannot guarantee freshness otherwise.
What’s the average price for a cake?
Custom Cake pricing is dependent on multiple factors. To provide pricing for a Custom Cake, my order form must be filled out. Classic Cake pricing is fixed and available on the Classic Cake order form (customization is not available for Classic Cakes).
Why are your prices so different from grocery stores?
When you buy a cake from me, you’re getting a unique, made-to-order creation with premium ingredients. My scratch recipes are exclusive and thoroughly tested. As a small business, I work hard to keep costs down and prices competitive, though they may be higher than larger bakeries. I promise a premium looking and tasting product you won’t find anywhere else!
How do I pay? Do you require a deposit?
I require a non-refundable 50% deposit to secure all orders and full payment is due the day before your pick up/delivery. Orders are not secured until your non refundable deposit is paid. I currently only accept payments via Venmo or Zelle.
Do you charge for delivery?
My delivery fee is $15 for the first 10mi. from my location and $1 per mile there after. Delivery ensures your creation makes it from my hands to your event with zero mishaps!
Can you recreate a cake from a photo i found online?
I will do my very best within my abilities to recreate any creation using the photos you provide! Please keep in mind, with every cake being a work of art there can be slight variations in color, size and materials.
DO you offer tasting boxes?
I currently do not offer tasting or take home boxes for events. If you have questions regarding flavors just give me a call!
Do you offer cupcakes or any other sweets besides cake?
Aside from Custom and Classic Cakes, I offer mini cupcakes in batches of 24 of the same flavor. I currently do not offer cake pops, decorated cookies, or any other treats.
Can you Add a name or an extra design to your classic cakes?
I don’t offer any customization on my Classic Cakes, but there are seasonal and Happy Birthday cake toppers available for a small charge.
Do you offer gluten, Dairy or allergy free options?
Unfortunately, not. I’m unable to guarantee cross contamination because everything is baked and decorated in my home kitchen that may contain traces of nuts, gluten, or other allergy causing ingredients.
