cake prices start at $3.00 per serving.  Icing or
gum paste flowers are extra and must be custom
priced.  I usually recommend using real or silk
flowers to match the bridal bouquet.  There are no

Let's get together to design your dream wedding cake!
(1)  First, call me or visit the store on Friday from 11:00 am until 7:00 pm and fill out your Wedding Cake
Reservation Date form.
We are often booked 6 months to a year in advance. We charge a 75.00, non-refundable,
deposit, to reserve your
event on our wedding calender and set up a consultation.
(The 75.00 consultation fee is considered a down payment on the total cost of your cake. )

(2) It is important that you schedule an appointment to discuss design, delivery, flavors, setup and prices. Your
consultation and tasting will last approximately 1 to 2 hours.
During the consultation, see our wedding cake
photos, share your ideas with us and taste samples of our cakes. ( If you prefer, you may come by the store and
place an order for the cakes that you would like to taste. Many brides like to take them home to make the
decisions with friends or family members. I will be happy to help you choose fillings and frostings to
compliment the flavors you have chosen.  I need at least 5 business days notice to fill a custom cake sample
order. Please feel free to bring magazines and photos of cakes you like. You may also send pictures or ideas as
a j.peg file to my e-mail address. We will be glad to discuss expectations and work with you to create a realistic
plan for your personally crafted cake. Be prepared to address special dietary needs such as nut allergies,
lactose-free, sugar-free, strawberry allergies, no berries, no coconut, kosher, etc.

(3) We also require a refundable deposit on any cake equipment. This will also be discussed at your
consultation. I will issue a refund check within 10 business days for equipment returns.  


(4) Delivery charges will be 2.50 per mile up to 50 miles.

(5) Delivery times should be set up at least three weeks before the wedding.(6) Out of state, weddings will require
special pricing to cover travel and  expenses.

(7) I do not rent cake stands, but will let you use mine (no charge) if we cut and serve your cake. We will cut and
serve your cake for you, at a cost of 1.00 per guest. If we provide plates, forks and napkins, the charge will be
1.50 per guest.

(8) We provide a box for the anniversary tier, and glassine cake bags for your guests to take a slice home in.
(Boxes may also be provided at an additional cost.) We can discuss these in more detail at your consultation.

(9) If silk flowers are provided by you, they must be brought to the bakery within 30 days before the wedding. If
your florist will be providing the flowers, I must have them and any cake ornaments at least 24 hours before the
wedding.
We can not deliver your cake without the flowers. If silk or real flowers are to be provided by me, I must
have color swatches or samples to match your reception decor.  An extra charge will be applied for this service
and your flowers.

(10) Payment for your wedding cake must be finalized within 30 days of
the final date or your date may not be held. We reserve the calender for our couples on a first come first serve
basis.

(11) Additional, in person, consultations may be arranged at a cost of 15.00 per hour.

(12) When your consultation is complete, you will be asked to verify your order information and event details and
then to review and sign your cake contract. If you have not already paid the full _____% deposit, please be
prepared to pay the balance of your deposit at the consultation. If you are still unsure, you may take a copy of
your cake order with you and call us later with payment when you decide to proceed.

    Side cakes and cupcake weddings may also be discussed at your consultation. These are standard guidelines
for my wedding consultations, and have been carefully written to provide a fair environment for planning one of
life's most beautiful events.  I reserve the right to make changes to these guidelines, and will always strive to
make your event extraordinary.
    I can supply references and letters of recommendation.
A few points to consider;
"You get what you pay for."Select a bakery that has references, and look at their work.
Do they have a passion for the craft? What do other couples say about the cakes design and taste.
"Anything worth doing, is worth doing well." What about service? Is the cake fresh or has it been frozen? Is it
custom made? How many flavors can they offer. Is it delicious? Is your baker qualified to fulfil your wishes?
"If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." If a baker is too inexpensive, you might be O.K.  Chances are,
however, that you might
be disappointed on one of the most important days in your life.
    Take care to get the best that your budget will allow. I accept payments toward your wedding cakes and
parties, which helps if you have a tight budget and need to make payments each month. I am happy to work with
you. However, do not expect an elegant, high end, special occasion cake for 35.00. Baking is tedious, heavy,
work, and requires experience and patience. Cake design and decorating  require knowledge, experience, skill,
and artistic talent. Do your research and know what prices to expect for wedding cakes, and other services in
your hometown.
     An experienced baker or caterer is worth every dollar!
