Q: My wedding package includes a cake in the price, is it possible to make arrangements to get one of your cakes instead?

A: In many cases it is possible to negotiate for some alternative item such as ice cream, fruit, or a special coffee bar, and bring in a cake of your own.

Q: Is cake delivery and set up included?

A: Yes.  We commit to you and your event.  We discuss cake placement and table styling with you ahead of time.  We personally deliver and set up your cake at your reception site.

Q: Is it possible for you to ship a cake?

A: We do not ship cakes. We have made arrangements with customers to deliver cakes all over the country but that requires special arrangements for transportation.

Q: Do you decorate cakes with fresh flowers?

A: We do not use fresh flowers on cakes because of pesticides and because many plants are not safe for consumption. We love the artistic challenge or creating chocolate or sugar flowers and decorations.  These will retain their beauty throughout the event and can be saved as keepsakes.

Q: What is a groom's cake?

A: Groom's cakes are typically more personal and lighthearted than the bridal or wedding cake.  Groom’s cakes can be served at the wedding to provide a second cake flavor.  They are also frequently used at Rehearsal dinners.

Q: Do you do other special-event cakes?

A: Absolutely.  We have created cakes for many special events both for individuals and for organizations.

Q: Can we have more than one flavor cake?

A: Yes.  We frequently do two flavors in a cake.  This offers guests a choice of flavors, or even allows guests to have two flavors.
