FAQ
The 'B' word?
Come prepared to talk about the "B" word. We're talking budget! Almost every bride has one and we get that. We certainly don't want to design a cake that is out of your price range, so the more information you give us, the more options for design we can give you!
How do I order a cake?
You may place your order via e-mail or over the phone. For a more intricate cake design you may want to make an appointment for a consultation.
Please note, consultations are by appointment only.
What can I expect at the consultation?
Before you come in, be prepared, have a sense of what you are looking for. You will be able to discuss all the details about your event, like style, theme, colours, invitation, flowers, dress details and much more. Also, you will be able to sample some of our cake flavours and fillings.
Please limit the number of people at the consultation to 3 or 4 individuals, free tasting for the couple, $10 thereafter per person.
How long after my consultation will my date be available?
We don't rush our clients to make a decision, but keep in mind a 50% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date on our calendar. The remaining balance is due 14 days prior to the event. We accept cash only.
How far in advance should I order my cake?
Considering that all cakes are made to order (meaning cake design and cake flavours) we need 4 to 8 weeks lead time. For a last minute cake please contact us, we will be happy to accommodate your order if we have availability on our calendar.
Fake it?
We are often asked if couples can have fake tiers on their cakes. Usually this is because they think that having a fake tier will save them money. Since our cake prices are based mainly on design, the savings are minimal. We do not do fake tiers on cakes less than 5 tiers, and even then, it is at our discretion.
Can canape's replace a light meal:
This is very possible, we would recommend 10-12 different canapes, again this makes 1 1/2 canapes per head and your guests would get at least 15-18 canapes each.
Do you only do canapes?
We will be happy to provide you with a buffet if a more substantial meal is required, but as we are a small company we can only cater up to 120 people for a wedding/event.
Should we serve sweet canapes?
Sweet canapes are usually served towards the end of the event as a subtly hint to your guests that the party is drawing to a close. They also tend to be better suited for events where guests are invited for a specific period of time. At a wedding for your guests' dessert you could have a sweet canapes table, where guests can choose between an assortment of canapes.
Can you cater for events at private homes?
Yes, certainly. if you are hosting a birthday party or an elegant dinner party we would be more than happy to supply you with canapes or a three course meal in you own home. Please note that these are for smaller groups of people.
Can you make a themed menu?
We can design a bespoke menu that will suit your event. We will make an appointment to discuss what you are looking for.
