Wedding Cake FAQs
When do I need to order my cake?
We recommend placing your order well in advance, if time permits. We suggest a six-month notice, especially for popular wedding months.
Do I need to make an appointment?
All orders are taken by appointment only. We offer daytime, Saturday morning appointments and a limited number of weeknight appointments. We can communicate via phone and email to accommodate out of town brides.
What about samples?
We offer several samples at your initial consultation. If you have a flavor you would like to try, please let us know.
How much do wedding cakes cost?
Buttercream icing and decor will cost less than fondant cakes. Keep in mind, the more difficult and time-consuming the design, the more you should expect to pay for a cake. If you are on a budget, let us know. We can guide you to designs that fit your budget.
How much cake do I need?
The general rule of thumb is enough cake for invited guests minus 20 percent.
