Questions, answered

How far in advance should I order?

Weekend dates book four to six weeks out and fill first. Reach out as early as you can, and ask about shorter notice for simpler designs.

Do you offer tastings?

Yes. A private tasting is $55, where you choose your flavors and direction, and that fee credits toward your booked cake.

Can you make a specific theme or character?

Yes. Stephanie designs custom around your theme, colors, and interests, hand-finished from scratch rather than pulled from a case.

How do you size the cake for our party?

Tell us your headcount and Stephanie sizes the cake to serve it, with clean portions for everyone.

Are the cakes made from scratch?

Always. Real butter, farm-fresh eggs, Madagascar vanilla, and Valrhona chocolate, baked by hand. No mixes.
