FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions ?????
How much do your cakes cost?
Prices depend on the size, complexity and number of servings needed. From what I
have been told, my cake prices are comparable, if not cheaper, than the grocery
store cakes. So if you think you can't afford me, think again!!!
Do you do anything other than cakes?
Yes!! I do dessert bars as well ~ Just ask!
May I sample your cakes?
Yes but we will need to set up a tasting appointment, as the cakes are made to
order.  Please no more than 4 people per tasting.
Do you make groom's cakes?
Absolutely!! What did you have in mind??  Tell me your vision, or his passion and I will
create it in cake form!
How soon should I order my wedding cake?
As soon as possible!!! Many people think of the cake as an after thought, which is NOT
a good thing. The longer you wait, the slimmer chance you have of getting the person
you want to do your cake.
Do I have to sign a contract and pay a deposit?
To secure and confirm a large cake order, or a wedding cake order, a $100 deposit
($50 is non-refundable) is required. The remaining balance must be received 2 weeks
before the event date. Unfortunately, I cannot hold a date without a deposit
Do I have to buy a cake stand?
Not unless you really want to, as all cakes will be provided with a nice sturdy base.   
I do have some stands that you can be rented and but they require a CASH deposit
equal to the purchase price of the stand. The deposit will be refunded minus the
rental fee upon the safe and prompt return of the rental item.
Do you replicate cakes?
I really do not like to unless that is what the client wants.  I prefer to take
elements of cakes that you like and design something just for you!  I certainly do not
want to copy other people's designs as I want all of my cakes to be unique to you, as
well as to me!
What if I cancel the event? Or have to Postpone?
If the event is cancelled prior to 2 weeks before the event date, $50 of your deposit
will be refunded. If the event is cancelled within the 2 weeks before the event, your
entire deposit is non-refundable. Why is this you ask? Because chances are that by
then I have spent the money to purchase any items needed for your cake. Also, I
have more than likely turned down other cakes due to your booking.  As far as
postponement, that's not a problem as long as I have the next date available to
reschedule.  
What forms of payment do you accept?
At this time I accept cash & checks.  Please note that there will be a $35.00 fee
for any returned checks.
Is there a delivery charge?
There is a charge of $25.00 for delivery and set up for local surrounginding areas.  
Delivery & set up charges will be agreed upon at the time the order is placed.
Do you arrange fresh flowers on my wedding cake?
Please make arrangements with your florist for any cake flowers and make sure that
the flowers you order are safe for the cake and do NOT contain pesticides.  If you
have the flowers available upon delivery and set up then I will gladly arrange them
per the direction in our agreement.  I will not hold any responsibility for flowers used
that are poisonous!!!!
Can I get different flavor with each tier?
For all wedding cakes, or large cake orders I allow up to 2 flavor choices.  If you are
ordering a smaller cake, or prefer more flavors for a large cake or wedding cake,
then charges will be applied accordingly for extra flavors. .
How big is a serving size of wedding cake?
The dimensions are 1 inch 2 inches deep and approximately 4 inches high (2 layers).
Final outcome of servings depends on the experience of cake cutter. A cake cutting
guide will be provided with your delivery. That guide is also how I base my number of
servings when placing your order.
Who cuts the cake(s)?
Check with your caterer or venue, some of them will provide this service free of
charge while others charge a small fee. Another option is to have family members or
close friends cut the cake for you.
Can I make changes after I order the cake?
Changes in size, flavors and decorations can be made up to 2 weeks before the
wedding, and additional charges may apply.  Please keep in mind that a wedding cake,
or large cake is not “magically whipped” together in a matter of hours.  There is a
great deal of time, planning,  purchasing of supplies and equipment that go into
preparing for your cake. I am not able to make changes to the final order after the
2 week deadline. Changes to the cake may only be made by the bride or groom.
