Frequently asked questions.
How do I order a cake?
Right here! Click the tab for Classic Cakes or Custom Creations for menus and to find an order request form.
How much notice do you need? When is it “too late” to order?
Always reach out ahead if you know you need a cake. If you know you want a special cake for an event, reach out as soon as you have a date. Orders are limited by fridge space and time, so sometimes the answer is “I’m sorry, we’re booked.” Other times, I am able to whip something up in 2-3 days notice.
in short, it’s always worth an ask!
Are your cakes vegan? What about gluten-free?
Currently, the answer to both is no. While I am experimenting with vegan recipes I can not yet guarantee the decorating results. It is something I would like to move toward in the future.
If you need a cute, delicious, vegan and/or gluten-free cake, I highly recommend Two Birds Baking. We serve the same area and Lesli has over a decade of vegan/gf baking under her belt.
Do you Ship?
I do not.
Do you deliver?
Normally, I do not. Sending a Lyft or Uber is a great way to get your cake delivered to your door. Large tiered cakes may require delivery which would be factored into the price of the order.
Do you make wedding cakes?
I do!
Do you offer cake tastings?
Unfortunately, no. Because all cakes are baked to order, there is no extra fresh cake to sample. If you are interested in trying a flavor for a big event, you may consider visiting a pop-up event. For less-popular flavors, ordering a 6” cake is an option too.
What do these cakes cost?
Custom cakes — designed to your specs and desires, start at $100. Classic cakes, holiday sales, pop-up menu cakes, and some Mystery Cakes cost less.
Why do these cakes cost more than the one I saw at _____?
These cakes are baked fresh and decorated, to order, by me. They are also often designed individually. I stand by my work and years of experience and believe the pricing fairly reflects my time as well as the cost of supplies, ingredients, and packaging.
Can I get a cheaper cake?
Sometimes! I try to run pre-orders for cake-centric holidays which allows me to share the overhead of design and ingredients between many customers. I am interested in doing more pop-up events that feature a grab-and-go menu. Another chance at a price break is to snag yourself a MYSTERY CAKE.
What is a Mystery Cake?!?!
Some cakes are born for promotional content, photoshoots, recipe research, from ingredients sourced for a custom order, or even for my own experimentation. When this happens, mailing list members and social media followers will have a chance to purchase these Mystery Cakes on a first-come-first served basis.
