FAQs

Each Custom Creation is unique. Each one takes a different amount of ingredients, supplies, and time. Because of this, I do not have a specific, one-size-fits-all price. That said, I do have a list with base (beginning) prices here. To receive a specific quote on what you want made, please contact me.

You can discover how many servings are in a cake here.

To get started, shoot me a message. Give me details on how you'd like your Custom Creation to look (having inspiration pictures you found online is always a huge help), how you want it to taste, and when you need it. Please keep in mind that requesting a Custom Creation does not guarantee I'll make it. I am a one woman show so my calendar fills up with orders FAST.

If a cake needs delivered further than 10 miles away or if the cake is complicated (super delicate decorations, odd tiers, etc.), then, yes, there is a small delivery fee.

Since I operate under cottage law and cutting and serving cake is considered a catering job, I am not allowed to cut and serve the cake at your event. I may, however, provide you with an instruction sheet that guides you in the easy, proper cutting of the cake. I do recommend assigning a guest as an official cake cutter and server, especially if this is for your wedding.

Depends. If they're made of icing or sugar, then yes. If made of other materials, possibly not. We'll discuss these details as we get your order moving. Keep in mind that you may need to provide some items yourself beforehand or I may need to order them at your expense.

Ideally, I like a bare minimum of 1-1/2 to 2 weeks advanced notice before I can accept an order. Sometimes less will do especially for simpler projects. A wedding cake really needs about 1 month or more advanced notice.

I might be able to do a last minute cake, but it totally depends on my schedule and the cake's design. Submit a message with the date you need your Custom Creation and details on how you'd like it to look and I'll see what I can do!

I am not Walmart, Safeway, or King Soopers. Which means my cakes are homemade, tasty, and FRESH to order! No frozen, pre-decorated, 6-week old cake with nasty preservatives here!

You sure can. Be sure to double wrap it (two layers of plastic wrap or one layer of plastic wrap then pop it into a freezer bag). When thawing, thaw it in the fridge. Some of the decorations may not look the same as when the cake was fresh and the flavor won't be exactly the same, but it should still taste pretty good!

Fondant is like edible play dough. It is made using sugar, water, and gelatin.

This depends largely on the individual. Some people love fondant, others hate it. My kids could eat it all day if I let them.

The fondant that I use is created with high quality ingredients, so it's tastier than many fondants out there! If however you find that you do not like the fondant, you don't have to eat it. In fact, people in some countries think it's weird that Americans eat the fondant at all. They usually peel it off before eating their slice of cake. And, you and your guests can too!

That depends on how you want your cake to look. We can discuss this as your order is processed.

Yes and no. Am I able to make just about any design? Probably. Am I allowed to? Not necessarily. Here are my limitations:

1. Copyright laws. Many companies (Disney, for example) have copyrights. Because of this, I am not allowed to, say, create a full fondant figure of Mickey Mouse. This is copyright infringement. However, in this scenario, we can acquire a toy of Mickey Mouse that is distributed by a company that is licensed to sell it (i.e. it's not a cheap knock off version). Or we can acquire a licensed edible Mickey Mouse or Mickey Mouse image (Disney has licensed retailers who sell edible decorations especially for cakes/cookies that we can get too). Or I can create a cake with generic black circles that look kinda like Mickey Mouse's ears and match seamlessly with your party's theme, but don't break the law.
   
2. Replicas. I highly encourage you to show me pictures of other cakes that you like (gives me an idea of what you want); however, I can't replicate another's cake artwork exactly (legal stuff). I can make it almost completely identical, but I do need to tweak it (even if slightly) so that it becomes my own artwork.
3. Equipment. Some designs I can't make because of a lack of certain equipment (although, to be honest, a cake order is often my excuse to buy more equipment, so bring it on!).
4. Conscience. There are certain designs I won't make, not due to lack of equipment or because it's illegal, but due to my character. For example, I will not do R rated cakes.

Most cake designs I can and will do. If I do have any limitations for what you want done, I'll let you know!

Unfortunately, due to the volume of orders I am receiving (since I am running my business solo from my own home), I am unable to make allergen friendly or sugar free cakes at this time. I have in the past, and I may do so in the future, but I am unable to at the moment.

Cakes and other Custom Creations take ingredients, supplies, and lots of time and labor to create. And because of irresponsible customers in the past, I now require full payment before I will even begin to make your Custom Creation.

Yes, I do, with my Cake Tasting Kit! Typically, these are reserved for wedding customers. However, if you would like to do one for any other occasion, you can. You can learn more about my Cake Tasting Kit here.

I have a list of the common ingredients I use here. For a list of ingredients used in a specific item, please contact me. All products come with a label or sheet of paper that lists its ingredients as well.

I would LOVE to be able to offer French macarons. However, they're a bit tricky to get the hang of and I hate wasting ingredients so I haven't practiced them much. So, at this time, I do NOT offer French macarons.

If in saying "edible" you mean able to eat, then, yes, totally, all my cakes and cookies are edible. If, however, you mean laced with certain green plants that make you high, then, no, I do not make anything "edible."
