FAQ's

I'm so excited about all the questions I have been getting about my cakes. Thank you for your interest!  Here are some basic answers to the most frequently asked questions I've been getting - and please feel free to ask MORE!  

Every cake I make is unique so all special requests will be considered. Here is a list of my current offerings:

What flavors of cake do you make?

Every cake I make is Custom - so you choose what you like best! Here are some standard flavors to get your mouth watering but I can do almost any request!
Chocolate (dutch or German)
Vanilla
Coconut
Lemon
Spice



What fillings can I choose from?
Every layered cake begins with Buttercream frosting - which can also be flavored to compliment your cake) Some examples of that would be:
Butter-cream (Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon, Almond or Coconut)


I also usually use a Secondary filling for my layered cakes.  The most common of these would be: 
Raspberry/strawberry preserves
Lemon curd
Fresh berries (extra charge)



What will you frost my cake with?
Every cake gets a base layer of Buttercream icing. That is either topped with more buttercream or a combination of buttercream and Fondant.  MOST of my cakes are finished in Fondant.  I may also use candies, modelling chocolate or specialty gumpaste to complete your designed cake. (Extra charges may occur)


Here I want to make a note that I MAKE MY OWN FONDANT - it is not cardboard-y or tasteless.  It is a sweet, soft and mellow homemade confection!  Almost everyone who has tried my fondant has exclaimed that they have never had a fondant they liked until mine!!

PRICING:

My cakes are Very Reasonably priced for custom cake design! 

I start with a base price to cover my expenses and then use a calculation based on how many people the cake needs to feed and the degree of difficulty (i.e. how many hours spent decorating).  I know you all want a BALLPARK figure - so . . . The BEST information I can give you is that you can expect to pay at least:

$40-70 for a small cake that will feed less than 15 people 

$60-140 for a small party or occasion cake the will feed more than 15 people

$100 and UP for wedding cakes, cakes that need to feed a big group of people (more than 20) and large party and occasion cakes.  

I give an EXACT quote for each and every cake!
