About Our Custom Cakes
Cake Terminology
Let's Talk Cake!
A "layer" - a baked layer of cake that is alternating with the filling.
A "tier" - is a cake stacked on top of another cake.
A "serving" - is a standard slice of cake allocated per person
Size & shape
All of our cakes come with 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling. They are approximately 5"- 6" tall.
Please see our price and sizing chart below associated with each flavor category.
All our cakes are round or we offer heart shaped cakes.
We do not make square, carved shapes or sheet cakes.
DESIGN
We only work with buttercream frosting on the outside of our cakes which is vanilla buttercream unless otherwise requested. Our specialty is buttercream textures, whimsical features and floral styles. We do not "draw" illustrations, or licensed characters on cakes.
We do not work with Fondant and we do not make shaped figurines on cakes.
We do not provide real flowers on cakes.
ordering
We require a minimum of 7 days for custom cake orders. But we can book up sooner. Submitting an inquiry is not a guarantee of availability. Custom orders must be paid in full in advance to confirm your order.
Custom cakes must be ordered via email/inquiry form. We do not take custom cake orders over the phone or in person.
Please read through all of the information below before sending an email or filling out the form below.
Let's Talk About Cake "Design"
We mentioned how the pricing is dependent on the flavor and size, but the most important part is the final design of the cake which will determine the price.
There are a lot of cake styles on the internet, therefore we need a visual guide to help determine the amount of skill and labor a cake involves. A style may look "clean and/or simple" however, if we are working with several different elements, it will create more labor and therefore a higher price point.
Please click the photo gallery at the bottom of the page to see larger images of our custom cakes with descriptions of their style for reference. As always, please send us an email for clarification on a style.
Again we will state, we do not work with fondant.
Cake toppers, elaborate garnishments, flowers etc. are provided by the customer.
