When
should I order my cake?
As a general rule, we suggest you book at
least two months in advance for a wedding cake and two
weeks in advance for a celebration cake, but we
sometimes can accommodate last minute orders. Call us
to schedule an appointment.

How do I order a cake?
If you are interested in ordering a cake from us, please
give us a
call or e-mail
us.
How much can I expect to pay for a cake? The price of my
cakes is determined by the actual cake design, so until
I know what you're looking for I can't really give
prices. I don't charge extra for different flavors or
fillings on each tier, or for cakes that are shapes
other than rounds.
My prices are average for my area, and they're lower
than many other bakers once all of their extra fees are
taken into consideration. If you
have a specific design in mind, feel
free to call or email and I'll be glad to give you a
rough estimate of the price of your cake based on the
design and your guest count. The content and decoration
of the cake along with the serving amounts determines
the final price. Each of our cakes is an individual
work of art and we will work with you and your budget to
create a wonderful experience for your occasion, so give
us a call.
How much cake will need?
Because the way that people cut the cake varies between
location, you will get a different serving count out of
every cake based on who cuts it. I will give you a range
of servings for each size cake, and you can choose which
size to buy
based on your personal situation (guests who are big
cake eaters or not, more than one dessert at the
reception, etc.)
What forms of
payment do you accept?
We accept cash, checks and debit/credit
cards through PayPal
What
is your payment policy?
For wedding and larger cakes(100 or more servings), we
require a 50% deposit the day a contract is signed. The
remainder of your balance is due two weeks before your
event date. If you book your cake with less than two
weeks to spare, full payment is due upon ordering. For
smaller cakes due upon delivery.
Do you deliver?
Yes. We are happy to deliver our cakes and cookies as
long as we are available. We generally deliver to Bonita
Springs (down to Mel’s Diner), Estero and San Carlos (up
to Alico Road) areas for free on orders over $50 or for
cookie bouquets. Please contact us for delivery charges.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes, we offer tastings for wedding cakes and large
celebration cakes (100 or more servings). Our tastings
include a variety of cupcakes to sample. Three cake
flavors 2 filling and 2 icing flavors per tasting. A
maximum of four people may attend the tasting. If you
would like to taste more than the initial 3 flavors, you
are welcome to order a sampler for $20.00. During the
meeting, we will discuss the design of your cake, so
please bring any pictures, invitations, etc, that may
help us come up with something perfect for your event.
If you should need to reschedule, or cancel, we ask that
you contact us no later than 48 hours in advance.
Do you ship your
cakes?
No. Since your cake cannot be guaranteed
to arrive in one piece, our cakes are not available to
be shipped. However, long distance delivery with in
Florida can be arranged if scheduling permits and for an
additional fee.
Picture Cakes and Cookies We
do have the capability
of printing your pictures, corporate logos or images
onto cakes, cupcakes and cookies. Displaying your
corporate logo on one of our creative cake designs is a
great way to brand your company. Corporations have also
used picture cakes & cupcakes for new brand launches,
retirement dinners, and charity events, and companies.
Cookies
We make custom
cookies, perfect for party favors for weddings, showers,
birthday parties and more. Our delicious shortbread
cookies can be cut into many different shapes, hand
decorated with fondant and royal icing, and wrapped in
cellophane and a ribbon. Our cookie favors start at
$3.00/each.
Can you accommodate food allergies and dietary
restrictions?
No. While many of our recipes do not contain nuts, they
are prepared in a kitchen where nuts have been used. If
you have a severe nut allergy we cannot guarantee that
your cake will not have traces of nuts in it. At this
time, we do not prepare cakes without dairy, eggs, or
sugar.
What about mini cakes?
Mini versions of cakes are a wonderful addition to any
occasion. They are a little present for each of your
guests. Although beautiful, they are a labor intensive
undertaking to create. Rather than one large cake, we
have to assemble and decorate multiple little cakes with
decorations that are much smaller and more tedious to
create than the larger cakes. Due to all the extra
labor involved, mini cakes start at $8.00 per cake with
a minimum order of ten cakes.
Doesn't fondant taste terrible?
All fondants are not created equal. There are brands
out there that do taste terrible, but we use a brand
called "Satin Ice" that tastes like vanilla
marshmallow.
Can we
have more than one cake flavor in our cake or does it
have to all be the same?
Please feel free to choose any cake
combination you desire. We do not limit you to one
flavor for your whole cake. If you have multiple
flavors in your cake, you may want to order more
servings since your guests may be inclined to sample
more than one flavor.
