questions

“A party without a cake is just a meeting.”

-Julia Child

You may be wondering…

You have 2 options.

  1. You can schedule a wedding cake design session where we actually talk specifics such as design, color, size, shape, delivery time, flavors, and pricing, etc.
  2. If you aren’t ready to design, you can order a sample box here and come pick them up.

Here’s a whole page on pricing including delivery, taxes, etc. 

We can replicate any cake from a picture. The couple doesn’t have to stick to our book. We also do a lot of techniques that other bakeries would not attempt. We aren’t scared of power tools!!

It’s right here on our inquiry form.

We are the only bakery in town doing a free Honeymoon Cake to take to the hotel room after the reception. Usually, the couple is too busy and doesn’t get a chance to eat a piece of cake, so we pack them one to go with forks stuck to the box. We’ll give it to the caterers upon delivery of the wedding cake. The trick is to remember to grab it before the big send-off.

NO!! We provide a free anniversary cake in a year. We never encourage frozen cake. Yuck!

Some of our couples live out of town, so they can get it the next time you are in town. It never expires.

Delivery is included within the first 30 miles for wedding cake packages. After that, it is an additional $6.50 per mile (one way, ie if the venue is 40 miles away, the extra charge is $65).

For birthday cakes/occasion cakes/non-package wedding cakes, delivery is calculated at $6.50 per mile to the venue, with a minimum of $40. If the destination is 10 miles away, the delivery is $65.

If the flowers are made of buttercream or sugar, yes. Fresh flowers should be provided by the florist. Please make sure the florist washes the pesticides off the flowers prior to application, and that they have confirmed that your variety of flowers are not poisonous.

2-3 days ahead. One day to bake. One day to fill, frost, and decorate. Then we like the finished cake to set overnight in the refrigerator. It is a much safer ride if the buttercream is cold when you transport on the day of the wedding.

Not usually, unless we absolutely have to. Our pastry chef bakes, we have someone who fills and ices, and our sugar artists decorate.

Your sugar artist is the person who will be creating the decor on your wedding cake and taking your order. We feel it is imperative to talk to the person actually decorating your cake. You should feel confident that your vision of the perfect cake was understood.

Yes! We are very flexible in our flavor configurations. Even if you want 2 flavors of cake in a single tier, we can do that.

We charge $15 to make each subsequent batter.

No, our wedding cakes are not frozen. We feel that if someone is paying you to make them something wonderful, it truly should be wonderful. Our kitchen is on site at The Makery Cake Company, and we are very proud that we bake fresh to order.

The answer to this is “sort of” and yes…For our gluten-friendly cakes (although the cake is in fact gluten-free it is still manufactured in an environment that is not). This means that although they are gluten-friendly, and it should not be consumed by those with serious allergies or celiac disease. As for Vegan, the answer is simply yes!  Here is a link to our allergen menu.

Fondant is a sugar dough that is made of tree gums, powdered sugar and corn syrup. It traditionally does not taste good, because most bakers use the stuff off the craft store shelf. Personally, we do not advocate eating things purchased at the craft store. We, however, use a premium fondant which is the same brand that The Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes uses, called Satin Ice. It is much softer and tastier. It also has a “glow” that can not be replicated in buttercream.
