How far ahead do I need to book my cake?

To maintain the high quality of our products, our cakes are baked fresh for each customer. Therefore we cannot bake, decorate and deliver a cake in one day. Because of this, the number of cakes we can commit to at one time is limited, so the earlier you reserve your date, the better! Due to the immense planning involved with wedding cakes, we suggest contacting us 4 - 6 months in advance to schedule a consultation. Party cakes should be ordered at least 2 weeks from the event date. We have been known to make magic happen though, so if you have a cake emergency please contact us and we will do our best to get you in our schedule!

How much do your cakes cost?

Since each cake is custom designed for each client, we do not have a one-size-fits-all pricing structure. The prices vary depending of the design of the cake and the number of servings required. We are happy to provide a quote for your event, just drop us a line!

Do you make cakes for other events or just weddings?

Julia Child said it best, "A party without cake is just a meeting!" We love making wedding cakes, but we also make amazing cakes for birthdays, showers, bachelorette parties, anniversaries, christenings, graduations and many more! 

What is the delivery fee for your cakes?

We are located in the southeast area of Aurora, Colorado and offer free delivery for cakes within a 5 mile radius. After that our delivery fee is based on mileage. If you do choose to pick up your cake, know that we are not responsible once it leaves the premises. Because we assemble our wedding cakes onsite, we do not offer a pick up option for this type of event and delivery is complimentary. And remember, there are only two people who can be trusted to deliver a cake: the one who made it and the one who paid for it!

What kind of frosting do you use?

ALL of our cakes are frosted with our pure butter, buttercream frosting. Some cakes are then covered with a thin layer of fondant, giving a smooth finish and endless decorating options. Sheet cakes are available to provide supplementary servings for big events. They are iced only in buttercream, marked for the number of servings and delivered to the kitchen at the reception site. We do not offer decorated sheet cakes at this time. 

I HATE fondant, I want a buttercream cake. 

This is the generally one of first things communicated to us by clients. Don't be put off by big box store's use of fondant. We use Satin Ice fondant on all our cakes, which allows us to roll our fondant very thin, usually less than an eighth of an inch. Prior to this thin layer of fondant, all of our cakes are filled with thick layers of filling and iced in our signature buttercream. You never miss out on the buttercream goodness with our cakes. Fondant generally allows a wider scope of decoration possibilities than buttercream does too, so don't let a fear of the fondant keep you from getting your dream cake!  

Do you make cakes for people with dietary restrictions?

We are a nut-free kitchen (besides the one who makes the cakes!), so we can accommodate nut allergies. We do not offer vegan, gluten free or sugar-free products at this time.

What happens at the wedding consultation?

Lots of things! You never know what may inspire an amazing design, so bring your invitations, color swatches, flower choice, pictures of your dress, whatever you have! We will sketch out your dream cake right in front of you. Then comes the fun part, the tasting! Tastings are $25, but this fee will be deducted from the cost of your cake when you place your order. If you need to cancel or reschedule your consultation, we ask that you do so at least 48 hours ahead of your appointment date. We are unable to offer refunds for cancellations made within 48 hours of your appointment.

What about cake stands?

We have a fabulous selection of cake stands to display your cake. If we don't have the perfect thing, we'll find it! We'll even rent you a stand if you don't buy your cake from us. A valid credit card must be provided for all rentals.
