Do you offer private tastings or open house tastings?
At this time, we offer private tastings, either in our boutique or meeting the client off-site if she is not able to make it to our area. Whichever is most convenient for her.
What are your tasting hours?
Anytime.
Describe how you price, such as by slice or by tier, for your cakes?
Our cakes are priced based upon the number of servings and the complexity of the design. Cakes start at $400.00.
Does the price include the top tier of the cake?
We do something very unique and special for our brides when it comes to the top tier, which we talk about at the tasting.
Do you offer custom cakes, or do you work with pre-designed styles?
All of our cakes are custom cakes. Though many brides choose to incorporate elements from our display cakes into their own designs.
What (if any) special ingredients, such as fresh fruits or farm-fresh butter, do you use in your cakes?
All of our cakes are covered in fondant. We pride ourselves on being specialist with this medium. Our icing is a Swiss Meringue Buttercream, NOT blended confectionery sugar and shortening. All of our cakes are made from scratch the week of the wedding, hence they are not ever frozen.
On average, how far in advance of the event do you prepare the cake?
The cake is baked that Wednesday. On Thursday we fill the cakes. On Friday they are covered and decorated. On Saturday we deliver them.
How many cakes do you schedule for a typical weekend?
We value quality, not quantity. We normally are commissioned to create 3 to 4 wedding cakes, per weekend.
Will you work with the client's florist to garnish the cake?
We certainly can. But we also have the ability to create sugarpaste flowers that recreate the flowers of the wedding for the bride, and she can keep them afterwards!
What (if any) cake accessories, such as a cake stand or cake cutter, do you rent out?
Our cakes do not require the use of a cake stand, since each cake comes with a custom stand that we build in our boutique.
Do you offer delivery? If yes, how much is your average delivery fee?
We deliver all of our cakes, period! We have gained lots of experience delivering cakes in Manhattan, braving potholes and NY taxi's, so we feel confident. Our fees are all-inclusive. Don't worry, you won't get hit with surprises by us.
