Additional Questions and Answers

Q: Do you offer cupcakes?

A: We offer cupcakes in a variety of flavors. Our cupcakes can be topped with our delicious meringue buttercream, cream cheese frosting or coated in a dark, shiny chocolate ganache and decorated with sugar or buttercream flowers, sprinkles in different colors and themes, or custom decorated. Some of designs have been "gold medal" cupcakes for a beloved ice skating coach; farm animal cupcakes for a barnyard birthday party, and seasonal cupcakes for St Patrick's Day, Easter, Graduations, July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chanukkah, Christmas and New Year's Eve. Cupcakes are popular for weddings, and we offer our custom-made wrought iron cupcake stand for display. Cost on our large cupcakes (also known as Texas size or Jumbo) ranges from $2-$3.50 depending on the level of decoration.

Q: How soon should I place an order?

A: Generally, wedding cakes are booked a minimum of 3-6 months in advance.  Our most popular month of the year is October, which sells out fast!

Q: What about pricing?

A: We take pride in using the only best ingredients - imported dark, white and milk chocolates, fresh eggs, King Arthur flours, unsalted butter (never vegetable shortening!), real fruit purees, Swiss fondant - and our pricing reflects this high quality of the ingredients that go into our cakes. Fondant designs range from $5 to $10/person.

Q: What's the most popular cake flavor?

A: It varies by season - chocolate combinations are most popular in the fall/winter and white with passionfruit buttercream is a frequent choice in the spring/summer. Spice cake with caramel buttercream is fantastic in the autumn!

A: We are pleased to be affiliated with the fine catering firm Two Chefs are Better than One. (Visit them online at www.twochefsfood.com). The production kitchen is located at 1000 Technology Park Drive, Billerica. This is not a retail location - everything is baked to order.
