Design
We work closely with our clients to design a cake that suits their theme, event and budget. We will do our best to interpret your vision into a cake and will also provide you with our opinion of what we feel would look best.
We reserve the right to make last minute changes to the cake design as we feel necessary to obtain the best possible finished product while still keeping the original design in mind.
Our cakes and decorations are edible but we do use wooden dowel and straws to support cake tiers and some non-edible products for support in our figurines and fondant pieces such as wire, toothpicks, etc. Please remove before consuming.
Colors
We will do our best to color match samples that are given to us but please keep in mind that we are working with a food product and edible colors. Some colors such as pinks, purple and grey are vastly affected by light and we cannot guarantee exact color matches nor color stability. Cakes should be displayed out of direct sunlight to keep colors from fading out.
Flowers
If fresh flowers will be used on the cake it is the responsibility of the florist to determine flower safety and safe food practices and not the cake decorator. We will arrange up to 25 stems free; $1 for each additional stem. You acknowledge that fresh flowers are not a food product, and may contain pesticides, insects, dirt, or other contaminants.
Edible Image Photo Submission
We only accept one photo per cake unless you have formatted a collage and it is submitted as a single JPEG image. We will not print numerous pictures on one cake unless this has been agreed upon with the decorator (extra charges will apply).
Dietary/Allergy Information
Our cake shop uses milk, flour, butter, sugar and eggs in our recipes. We do not offer gluten-free, eggless or sugar-free options at this time. We use peanut butter in our home and in cakes. We are NOT guaranteed 100% nut-free as some of our ingredients or garnishes may contain or have come in contact with nut products. You agree to notify your guests of this risk and hold us harmless for allergic reactions.
Picking up your Order
We will have your order ready at the agreed-upon time and date. Early pick-ups may be accommodated with proper notice, but as we are a very busy shop, we cannot always complete orders early.
