Please do not send Instagram direct messages or Facebook messages to place an order as that could get lost in the midst of things. I appreciate leaving those channels for general communication like questions or comments. While filling out the form, the date, amount of people to serve, and what type of orders (cakes, cupcakes, cupcake arrangements) you need are the most important things to start with so that I can first check whether or not I am available! Then we can talk details.
Is there a required deposit?
Deposits are required for our wedding clients. Once we agree on all of the details, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the final total is required to hold your date and will allow me to begin working. The balance will be due at least 2 days prior to pick up or delivery date. Due to the advanced preparation work that is required for my cakes, cancellations within two weeks of the due date will be invoiced in full.
HOW MUCH LEAD TIME DO YOU NEED?
I am a one-woman business and since every cake is custom-made for you, I can only take on a limited number of orders per week. So – please be sure to book well in advance of your event. Wedding cakes need to be booked as soon as possible in order to secure your date. Most of my cakes take a minimum of two to three days to complete, so same-day or next-day orders are not possible. If I am able to accommodate a short notice request, a $20 rush charge will apply.
WHAT TYPE OF FROSTING DO YOU OFFER?
All of my frosting is American buttercream. It has very basic ingredients in it which are butter, powdered sugar, pure vanilla extract, butter flavoring, and salt. Please note that flavor is subjective. I came up with this special recipe to offer not-too-sweet and settled buttercream. Please do not expect my frosting to taste like grocery store frosting.
WILL DARK COLORS STAIN MY TEETH?
Some dark-colored buttercream and fondant can leave a temporary stain, in particular black, red, and navy. This is due to the high concentration of coloring needed to achieve the intensity of the shade. If this is an issue, guests can simply remove the fondant before eating the cake. Certain buttercream frosting flavors have color restrictions due to their flavors – for example, it is not possible to make raspberry frosting aqua blue as adding blue color to a deep pink frosting will produce purple. So if you want a particular color of frosting, you will need to pick a flavor that has an inherently neutral color, such as vanilla, coconut, etc.
CAN I HAVE MY CAKE TO BE PURE WHITE LIKE SNOW?
The best way to get a pure white buttercream is to use shortening. It’s what you see in most novelty grocery store cakes. A simple American buttercream made with shortening and powdered sugar. We use real butter in our buttercream recipe for the real flavor and real ingredients. Due to the nature of yellow in butter, the buttercream does not generally give you a pure white color without using a lot of bleach to get the white color
WHY IS YOUR CAKE DRY OR DENSER THAN OTHER CAKE I HAVE HAD?
My cake and cupcakes are given to you cold to keep them safe for transportation purposes. Please be sure to leave the cake out at room temperature before you serve the cake. The cake should sit to develop the best flavor and texture. Please let sit at least 2 hours before serving. Tiered cakes take longer to warm up so please consider taking them out sooner.
All of my cakes are made from scratch, therefore I do not use any preservatives or chemicals in the cake batter. Boxed cake mix uses those chemicals and heightened amounts of sugar to create a lighter and sweeter cake. Scratch-made cake naturally has a denser consistency, but I think, it also has a better, richer flavor!
Cake texture and flavor preference is highly subjective so I suggest that you try my cake before placing a large order to ensure I can provide you with the best outcome! I offer a tasting box once a month.
