For the BRIDE
How do I start ordering a wedding cake?
I'm glad you asked! You are probably here because you like my design work, tasted my cakes at an event, or have been referred by a friend. So now it's time to inquire about a cake for YOUR special event! Congratulations! I can't wait to meet you! Ideally, you should start inquiring about a wedding cake 6-8 months in advance. Not in that time frame? Let's talk and see what my schedule looks like.
CAKE TASTING
Check me out for yourself! Contact me to set up a time in which you and your fiancé can taste your favorite wedding cakes flavors. I offer to go boxes that you can enjoy at your leisure. The box will include 2 slices of 3 flavors.
After your tasting date is arranged, please give me 1 week notice to bake up to 3 flavors with complementing fillings of your choice. You will find a list here. My frosting is made with real butter and a high ratio shortening which produces a superior taste and texture. Please notify me before the tasting if your wedding reception will be outside during the summer months. I will adjust the frosting recipe to eliminate the butter.
Tastings are for 2 people for a $35 fee.
DESIGN PROCESS
We will discuss your vision for the cake, how to incorporate elements you may have on your "must have " list, and I will have my past work as samples we can refer to. I will gather this information and sketch up several designs to send to you to begin the process. The goal is to get a design you love, meets your budget, and provides just the right amount of servings.
THE WEDDING CONTRACT
Each wedding cake requires that a wedding cake contract be completed. It will contain all the details of the cake; where it is being delivered, cost breakdown, and contact information. This simply assures that we both know what to expect from each other to make this a great experience. Here is a peek at a blank form.
