Cakes

A lot goes into making a cake. Size, design, time, colors, flavors and fillings, materials, and many other things need to be taken into consideration when pricing out a custom cake. The best way to price out your cake would be to email us with your design idea, flavors, colors, and size. Once we know those thing, we can start calculating out the pricing. The smallest cake we make is a 6 inch 2-layer cake and starts at $80.

Due to the small size and custom nature of our bakery, we can only take so many orders per week. Availability tends to fill up fast (sometimes months in advance), so we require a minimum of 2 weeks notice for custom cakes and 8 wedding cakes.
-
Tiered wedding cakes can be tricky to transport and move. Driving/stopping too fast, cornering, and bumps can all cause a stacked cake to collapse or fall over. We will allow you to arrange transportation for a wedding cake up to 2 tiers tall but will require you or the person picking up the cake to sign a waiver accepting responsibility once it leaves our shop. For 3 tier and larger cakes, we do not allow pickup as these cakes normally need to be assembled onsite.
General
-
We are a small, family-owned bakery with little kids at home. We’re currently open as much as we can be given our family limitations.
-
We do not offer any preordering for weekly items out of the case as we do not have space to store the orders.
However, we will sometimes offer holiday ordering via our website for certain items Follow us on Instagram and/or Facebook for ordering information.
-
We accept special orders for certain quantities of items that are the same flavor/type provided we have capacity and enough advanced notice (usually 2 weeks, but sometimes less depending on other orders) to make it (We’re a very small bakery and our space is limited). For our bars (brownies, s’mores, blondies, etc), special orders are by the sheet (26x18 inches), and cookies and cupcakes are by the dozen. Please contact us directly for other items or if you would like to place a special order.
