FAQ

How do I get some information about ordering a wedding or special occasion cake?

We will be happy to answer any questions by phone or email.  It helps us serve you better by having the following information available when you contact us:

  • date & time of your event
  • location
  • basic design ideas
  • number of guests
  • delivery requirements

Please inform us of all food allergies when inquiring.
 

Do you offer tastings?

Yes.  We certainly do offer complimentary tastings for orders of 72 servings and more and recommend that you attend as your cake should taste delicious AND be beautiful.  Emailing us ahead of time with some of your favourite flavours will help us to prepare a selection of cakes and buttercreams that cater specifically to your taste expectations.


How long in advance should I order a cake?

For a wedding cake, we recommend placing an order as soon as you have booked your reception site and know your approximate number of guests.  Wedding planning can begin as early as a year in advance and getting an early start on your cake will ensure that you've had ample time to finalize your flavour combinations and coordinate the design of your cake with your wedding theme.  For a special occasion cake we need at least 72 hours notice though ideally a month notice is recommended.  This is because a select number of cakes are baked each weekend creating limited availability.  All of our cakes are custom and made to order.


Do you deliver your cakes?

Yes.  We will deliver and set up your wedding cake in and around Durham Region and the GTA.  The delivery fee is determined by area with a minimum cost of $30


Can I pick up my cake?

Yes.  Most people do pick up their special occasion cakes however we recommend delivery for cakes that are 3 tiers and over.


How much do your cakes cost?

The costs of cakes varies depending on size and level of complexity of the design.
Examples:
1 tier cake serving 24 starts at $95
3 tier cake serving 72 starts at $300


Is a deposit required?

Yes.  We do require a 50% deposit to secure an order.


How many servings do I need?

When deciding on how many servings you need there are a few things to consider.  Is your cake the main or plated dessert?  When is it being served? Are you having a sweet table?  What type of design have you envisioned? Do you want to keep the top tier?  These questions will affect the number of servings and help you cater for the appropriate number of guests.

Our standard serving size is 1" x 2" x 4"

What is the difference between a tier and a layer?

Layers make up tiers.  There are 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of buttercream filling in each tier.


What is the difference between fondant and buttercream?

Fondant and buttercream are different both in taste and texture.  Fondant is a sweet sugar dough which holds it's shape well and allows for more intricate design.  It also withstands a wider range of temperatures.  Buttercream is rich and luxurious, and can be flavoured with an endless variety of options.  It is soft and works better for piping based designs.  It does not hold up as well to different temperatures as fondant.
