Do you offer private tastings or open house tastings?
If you let me know what flavors you are considering prior to our meeting, I will do my best to put together a sampling for you.
What are your tasting hours?
By appointment only.
Describe how you price, such as by slice or by tier, for your cakes?
Wedding cakes are priced per slice.
Does the price include the top tier of the cake?
There is no charge for the top tier of the cake. The top tier is not included in the serving count of your cake.
Do you offer custom cakes, or do you work with pre-designed styles?
I can customize a cake for you, or incorporate other designs. I have in the past combined 3 different cake designs into one.
On average, how far in advance of the event do you prepare the cake?
For cakes with sugar or icing flowers, preparation begins weeks in advance to ensure the flowers have dried properly. The cakes themselves are usually baked 2 days in advance of your date and frosted the day before. Final decorating touches are added the day of and at the time of delivery.
How many cakes do you schedule for a typical weekend?
I only do 1 wedding per week so you will have my undivided attention.
Will you work with the client's florist to garnish the cake?
Absolutely! I will work with the bride and her florist in any special needs for fresh flowers on her cake.
What (if any) cake accessories, such as a cake stand or cake cutter, do you rent out?
I require a deposit on any cake stand used, cake plates or plastic pillars used that will be refunded upon the return of the items in the same condition they received them. If items are not returned, the deposit is used to replace the items lost.
Do you offer delivery? If yes, how much is your average delivery fee?
Yes, I deliver all wedding cakes. There is no additional charge for a 30 mile radius of Albany, NY. Outside of Albany, there is a $1.75 per mile (one-way) delivery charge.
