Wedding Cake Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to all of your burning questions

 

How do I order a wedding cake?

Please fill out an inquiry form and we’ll go from there. The next step is to schedule a short phone call to discuss your wedding design and set up your tasting!

 

When should I order my wedding cake?

Because of the care and attention to detail that go into our wedding cakes and desserts, we have limited availability. We recommend securing your date on our calendar six to nine months in advance. We always try to accommodate last minute orders, but once a week is fully booked we stop taking orders. If you’re wondering whether your date is still open, please fill out an inquiry form and we’ll let you know!

 

How much will my wedding cake cost?

Pricing is extremely dependent on design, but all cakes start at $7.75 per serving and go up from there. Simple buttercream cakes with fresh flowers have a flat fee of $7.75 per serving. We will give you a custom quote once we’ve discussed your wedding cake design together.

 

Is there an order minimum?

Yes, all wedding cake and dessert orders have a minimum which varies based on the season:

For weddings in May-October, there is a $1000 minimum
For weddings in November-April, there is a $600 minimum

Delivery fees do not go towards the minimum.

 

How do the tastings work?

Tastings are $60 and include four cake flavors of your choice. We make enough cake for you to try some at the tasting and have extra to take home with you. After you taste our cakes, you’ll get the chance to meet with one of our talented designers to talk through your ideas and design your dream wedding cake.

 

How far in advance should I schedule my tasting?

We offer tastings within 12 months of your wedding date. Since you design your cake during your tasting, you should schedule your tasting once you have a good sense of the overall design of your wedding. If you’d like to include fresh flowers on your cake, it’s best to have met with your florist before scheduling your tasting.

We offer tastings on Thursday at 4pm and Saturday throughout the day. If you prefer a weekend tasting, we recommend reaching out at least one month before you’d like to come in, as these slots book up very quickly.

 

I want to serve desserts along with my cake. Do you offer these?

Yes! We make a variety of desserts including cupcakes, cookies, macarons, and other tasty treats. We offer dessert table packages that include stands, setup, labels, and everything else you need to create a stunning dessert table. Just let us know you’re interested, and we’ll go over it with you in more detail during your phone consult.

 

Do you make vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, or nut-free cakes?

Not at this time. We are not currently able to accommodate special dietary requests, but we’d be happy to provide recommendations for bakeries in the area that can. We do have some cake flavors that do not contain nuts and we take precaution when baking, however, our kitchen is not nut-free and we cannot guarantee there will be no cross contamination.

 

Do you deliver your wedding cakes?

Yes! We offer delivery for wedding cakes of all sizes and require it for cakes three tiers and larger. Ann Arbor delivery is $45, and all other areas are based off mileage.

 

I have some specific questions. How can I get more info?

We’re glad you asked! If you fill out an inquiry form, we’ll send you a link to schedule a phone consultation. During this short call, we’ll chat with you about your wedding design, explain the cake ordering process, and talk through all of your questions.
