Cake Design

Can we have fresh flowers on our cake?
Stacey will complete your cake design with the Fresh Floral you provide. We ask you to order your fresh flowers from your florist and have them placed on the dessert table on site for set up upon delivery. If flowers aren’t on site upon delivery, the delivery will be completed without floral set up. Unless specified in the design, final setup will be at the artistic discretion of the designer.

Can you use silk flowers
No, we do not use silk flowers. We will use either fresh floral or our hand made sugar flowers.

Can you do a sculpture of my dog (cat, rabbit, etc)?
Sure we can. We’ll need you to email us a few pictures of your pet from different angles. Stacey will use the pictures to create the sculpture. Figurines typically run between $45-$75 per figure.

“Can you make this”?
If you have a picture of a cake you like, we’d love to see it. We can’t copy anyone else’s work (copyright protection) but we can use the pictures you provide for inspiration. The final artistic design will be by Stacey.

Do you make Groom’s Cakes?
We love to do groom cakes. Please let us know as early as possible if this is something you’d like us to make for your wedding. The minimum order for a custom cake is $250.
