Do you offer private tastings or open house tastings?
Tastings are available by appointment in our South Carolina Health Department approved baking shop. We are also a regular at the Wedding Festivals (see you in September at the Carolina First Center) and a member of the Upstate Bridal Association.
What are your tasting hours?
Our business is open 9 - 5 Tuesday through Friday and other times by appointment.
Describe how you price, such as by slice or by tier, for your cakes?
We price our cakes by the slice depending on the degree of the labor intensity. Our white chocolate fondant cakes are slightly higher, but are great for our hot, humid summer months.
Does the price include the top tier of the cake?
Yes, and our brides and their moms absolutely love our boxed anniversary cakes that are ready to go in the freezer and delivered to the venue with the wedding cake.
Do you offer custom cakes, or do you work with pre-designed styles?
We offer custom cakes that fit with the style of the wedding. We design many wedding cakes to match the bride's dress. The combined abilities of my staff allow us to create cakes that are far above the normal wedding cake. Our cakes not only are beautiful, but are moist and delicious. We offer over 25 cake flavors and approximately 35 buttercream and filling optons.
What (if any) special ingredients, such as fresh fruits or farm-fresh butter, do you use in your cakes?
We use the highest quality ingredients in our cakes from non-bromated and unbleached flours to our local Happy Cow buttermilk. Our buttercream is made with real butter, and you won't find a stick of magarine in our shop! We often go directly to the local farms for our fresh fruits.
On average, how far in advance of the event do you prepare the cake?
Our cakes are consistently moist and delicious because we follow the same baking schedule every week. Some cakes are better if they are baked earlier in the week. Others must be baked near the middle to end of the week. Our cakes are baked and decorated fresh for the event....never frozen.
How many cakes do you schedule for a typical weekend?
We limit the number of wedding cakes to four or five a weekend depending on the sizes of the cakes. This allows us to make some groom's cakes and a few other specialty cakes for the week.
Will you work with the client's florist to garnish the cake?
We work with the florist that the bride chooses. We also make fondant and gumpaste flowers to complete the look of the cake.
What (if any) cake accessories, such as a cake stand or cake cutter, do you rent out?
We rent silver and wooden cake plateaus and specialty cake linens.
Do you offer delivery? If yes, how much is your average delivery fee?
Our average delivery fee is $35. I deliver 99% of our wedding cakes personally.
