how big a cake do I need?
The size of your cake will depend on the number of guests at your event, the type of event, the style of cake you’d like, and if there are other dessert options at the event.
Tell me the number of servings you’d like to get from your cake, and I’ll advise you on the perfect cake size.
how far in advance should I order?
3 days’ notice for 1-tiered cakes.
7 days’ notice for larger cakes (2-tiered and up).
5 days’ notice for tasting boxes (orders open 1 month in advance).
do I have to pay now?
Payments can be made via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). Banking details will be shared upon invoice.
1-tier cake orders must be paid for at least 3 days before the event date.
2-tier and larger cake orders must be paid for at least 7 days before the event date.
Tasting boxes must be paid for 5 days before delivery/pickup.
how is the price of my cake determined?
Each cake is designed individually, pricing varies based on flavor choices, size, design, and delivery (if required).

Do you do fake/ Styrofoam cake?
Yes! I do make ‘fake’ cakes.
A large ‘fake’ cake can be used for display and photos, while several sheet cakes are kept in the kitchen and served to the guests. This is recommended for events with more than 100 guests or anyone wanting to make cake service seamless.

Some of our flavors can be made without products containing gluten.
All cakes are made in a kitchen that handles eggs, dairy, gluten, nuts, and soy. While precautions are taken, we cannot guarantee that any product is free from allergens.

No, we do not use fondant in any way for our designs.
