How much notice do I need to give to order a cake?

• Everyday Cakes come in 10 different flavors and are almost always available in our store. These do not need to be pre-ordered can can be written on at pickup if a decorator is available.

• Custom Cakes require at least 24 hour notice. More notice may be needed for elaborate designs or fondant work.

• Tiered and Wedding Cakes require at least 2 weeks notice. You must speak directly with one of our cake decorators for any tier cake. You can order these as far in advance as you would like, but a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your order.

What is the difference between your frostings?

• Our standard buttercream frosting is an Italian meringue style buttercream. It is primarily made with egg whites and butter which gives it a slightly off-white color. It is light, silky smooth and less sweet than most buttercreams. Not recommended for sitting in temperatures above room temperature, or 74°F.

• Our sweet frosting is an American style frosting. It is primarily made wiht vegetable shortening and powdered sugar which gives it a pure white color. It is thick and sweet. This icing holds up better than buttercream in the heat.

• We do not offer whipped cream icings

Can my cake be made peanut free?

We are not a nut free facility, however, none of our cakes contain peanuts in the ingredient (with the exception of our peanut butter icing). While we do our best to prevent cross-contamination, there is always a risk. Please use your best judgement if you do have an allergy.

What about gluten, dairy, soy, or other allergens?

What is an edible image?

An edible image is a thin piece of edible paper, similar to fondant, which we print a picture on with food coloring. It is made with tapioca starch and it both gluten and dairy free. This option is best if you want an exact picture of something, such as a real person or a precise logo.

Can you hand draw on my cake?

Our decorators can hand draw almost anything in buttercream on top of your cake. Please keep in mind any hand drawing is going to have variations from the original subject, but we will match what you are looking for as close as reasonably possible.

Can I have black icing?

Black icing and other dark frostings like maroon and navy require a LOT of food coloring, and this does alter the taste of the icing. We recommend only using these extremely dark colors as accents for your decorations, but we will use more if requested.

Can you do an Everyday Cake in a size other than 8”

The short answer is yes, most of them can be, with the exception of German Chocolate. However, any changes to an Everyday Cake (size, flavor, decoration) changes the pricing to a Custom Cake. Please also note that our Cloud 9 cake has two different fillings which is an extra charge per filling.
