{ Can I design my own wedding cake?
| We
actually prefer you to design your own wedding cake. Your wedding cake
should be a unique reflection of your wedding day. However if there is
a cake we have previously made that you like, we can make any changes
you
want to customize it for you.
{ Can we copy a design out
of a magazine or off of a web site?
| If you bring us a picture
we will do our best to contact the original designer, out of respect for
other cake decorators, for permission to duplicate that
cake. If we cannot get in contact with the original designer or the original
designer is unknown, we will do our best to create a similar cake for you.
{ What is fondant?
| Fondant is an icing medium
that is rolled out to cover each entire tier of cake giving it a smoother
look then buttercream.
{ I heard fondant does not
taste good.
| This
is true for certain, less expensive, store bought fondants
We use
three different types of fondant:
| A dark chocolate fondant
that tastes like Tootsie Rolls.
| A better quality, store bought
vanilla fondant.
| It is also popular to flavor your fondant to compliment the
the flavor of cake you choose (i.e., lemon, raspberry, etc).
{ How far in advance do I need
to order my wedding cake? (for
more details see downloadable document: What
to Expect at a Wedding Cake Tasting)
| You
should order your wedding cake as far in advance as possible to ensure you
can reserve the date of
your wedding for your cake delivery. The longer
you wait, the less availability we may have. If we don’t have the date
booked, the latest you can schedule your cake tasting is one month before
your wedding. You will need to contact us six (6) weeks prior to your wedding
to schedule your cake tasting.
{ How far in advance do I need
to order a non-wedding cake?
| Like
wedding cakes, you should order a non-wedding cake as far in advance as possible
to ensure you can
reserve the date of your event for your cake
delivery. If we don’t have the date booked, the latest you can order
a non-wedding cake is two week prior to your event.
{ Can I pick up my wedding
cake?
| No, you cannot pick up your
wedding cake. We insist on delivering the cake because there are finalizing
details that need to be done on the cake once
it is set up and we may have to touch up/fix anything that breaks during
travel. The minimum cake delivery fee is $30, depending on the delivery distance.
{ Who decorates the wedding
cake table?
| You are responsible for decorating
the wedding cake table. When we deliver the cake, all that should be required
of us is to set up the cake on the
table.
{ Who serves the wedding cake?
| Whoever caters your reception
will usually serve your cake, although they may charge you a serving fee.
You will have to check with your caterer to
confirm, as some will insist that you purchase their cake. If you are not
having your reception catered, you should designate a person to cut and serve
your cake. We will include instructions on cutting the cake when we deliver
the cake.
{ Can
I reserve my date now and order my cake later?
| Yes, but we require a $75
non-refundable deposit to reserve your date. This fee will be applied to
your total cake order.
{ How large is a serving size
for a wedding cake?
| Our
cake serving size for a wedding cake is 1” x 3” x the height
of your cake.
{ Why
are our servings per tier less than Wilton’s?
| The
number of servings per tier on the Wilton serving chart is based off of a
1” x 2” serving size. You can cut our cakes smaller than
we suggest and get more servings per tier. We will still only charge for
the number of 1” x 3” servings you get out of each tier.
{ Can I make changes after
I order the cake?
| Yes,
see downloadable Wedding Contract for details.
