Do you offer private tastings or open house tastings?
Cakes So Special offers private tastings by appointment only.
What are your tasting hours?
Appointments for tastings are generally Monday - Wednesday and can be during the daytime or evening hours. If a bride is from out of town a weekend appointment can sometimes be accommodated.
Describe how you price, such as by slice or by tier, for your cakes?
Cakes So Special's cakes are priced by the slice.
Does the price include the top tier of the cake?
If 150 or more servings are purchased the top tier is free.
Do you offer custom cakes, or do you work with pre-designed styles?
Generally Cakes So Special works with brides to design something unique just for them but can accommodate most wishes.
What (if any) special ingredients, such as fresh fruits or farm-fresh butter, do you use in your cakes?
Cakes So Special are just that...special. They are made special with quality ingredients like real butter and whole eggs in the cakes and buttercream. The fondant is freshly made with rich, silky smooth chocolate and is not a commercial product.
On average, how far in advance of the event do you prepare the cake?
Generally cakes for a Saturday wedding are baked on Thursday. The buttercreams and fondants are generally made at that time also.
How many cakes do you schedule for a typical weekend?
Generally I accept only one commission per weekend. On rare occassions I will have two weddings.
What (if any) cake accessories, such as a cake stand or cake cutter, do you rent out?
I have a number of styles and sizes of plateaus for a bride to choose from.
Do you offer delivery? If yes, how much is your average delivery fee?
Delivery is included in the cost of the cake within a 30 mile radius. To deliver further will incur a delivery fee based on miles and time.
