How do I inquire about Availability, Custom Cake 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?
I’m a one woman operation so all orders require 4 days notice and is dependant on my availability. Any Custom Cake order placed 5 days or less from pick up/delivery date is subject to a rush 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.
What’s the average price for a cake?
Custom Cake pricing is dependent on multiple factors. I have starting costs on my Custom Cake order form, but to provide accurate pricing for your creation, an order form must be filled out. Pre Designed and Classic Cake pricing is fixed and available on the respective order forms.
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, but I am structured differently 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 50% non-refundable 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 10 miles 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?
In order to provide a high quality design within my abilites, I don’t provide photo replications. Having inspiration photos are encouraged to help me understand what you have in mind. From there, I can design a custom creation just for you!
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 any other sweets or treats?
Aside from Custom, PreDesigned 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 pre designed or classic cakes?
I don’t offer any customization on my Pre Designed or Classic Cakes, but there are add ons 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.
