Frequently Asked Questions

- How much do your cakes cost?
The easiest way to estimate the cost of a simple cake is to look at my cake menu.  Choose a cake flavor, and a frosting flavor.  Add the two prices together. If you know how many people you need to serve, simply multiply the price by the number of servings.  This will give you a general idea of the lowest cost of the cake.  Expect to pay more for  your requested decorations.

- How much do your decorations cost?
The cost of decorating a cake varies a great deal.  The price depends on the time and skill it takes to make the decorations.  Intricate, detailed, or difficult to create sugar art will cost more.  A cake with simple to no decoration will cost less.

- Do you do tastings?
At this point I don't have the time or resources to do tastings.  I've tried to describe the flavors on the menu well enough to help you make a choice.  If, however, you are having a hard time deciding between two flavors, and you aren't ordering a cake with more than one tier that can each have different flavors, a tasting appointment could possibly be arranged.

- How much notice do you need to create a cake?
Most cakes take time to plan, and take time to gather supplies and ingredients for.  I am also often booked, so I prefer at least 4 weeks notice for a cake.  Any cake for less than 2 weeks away will add a 15% extra charge for the short notice.

- When do I pay for cakes and artwork?
Half the price of the order is due at the time the order is placed.  The other half is due 2 weeks before the order is to be delivered/picked up.  I can accept credit and debit cards, as well as PayPayl, checks, money orders, and of course cash.
