FAQs

How far in advance do I need to place an order?

Booking your wedding cake at least 6 months in advance is highly recommended if you are getting married between May - October, and at least 3 months in advance for November - April.

Special occasion cakes require at least 1 month’s notice. But if you are ordering your cake during the wedding season, know that brides and grooms are ordering early! :)

How much do wedding cakes cost?

Every cake is a custom piece of art! 

There are many variables that make up the cost of each cake such as design, servings, size, etc. Loose quotes can be given with an email of what you are looking for and when you need it. Proper quotes are given at consultations or through detailed email sessions! 

Wedding cakes range from $12.00 to $18.00+ per serving depending on detail and intricacy.

Faux cakes start at $400.00

If you need to add more servings, side slabs start at $8.00 per serving.
Slabs are built the same as tiered cakes (4 layers of cake and three layers of filling).

Do you provide cake tastings and consultations?

All tastings are pick up only and consultations are done via e-mail, phone, or virtual meeting.

What if I need the cake delivered?

Delivery is definitely available! Deliveries start at $80.00 in Kitsilano and the downtown core and go up from there. In either a consultation or by email, a quote will be given for your location. Delivery pricing depends on distance and wether or not the order needs set up time (ex: arranging flowers, cupcakes or cake buffet).

Pick-ups may also be made from my shop in Vancouver.

 

I saw a cake in your portfolio/I want this cake I saw in a magazine! Will you recreate it?

I am proud to offer completely unique creations... so no! :)

Of course you may provide pictures you like for inspiration, but your final design will be 100% unique to you!
