My cakes cannot be compared to those
offered by grocery store bakeries. I do not use bulk materials or frozen
cakes made in a factory. The expense of my ingredients, as well as
the time I invest in designing, baking and decorating each cake, require me to
charge more than grocery store bakeries. However, your cake with be fresh, made
with real ingredients, and absolutely perfect for your special occasion.
Reserve your spot as soon as
possible. Currently, I am scheduling 2 years in advance. There are times when I need to begin
making parts of the cake three or four weeks ahead of time to allow gum paste
pieces to dry, etc. I also limit myself one cake design per week. Please be advised that I book quicking
and often times have to decline orders, even when inquired weeks in advance.
Free delivery in the Decatur area. Delivery beyond 20 miles will incur a delivery fee,
depending on distance.
All cakes are priced out per
serving. I do not believe wedding cakes should cost more just because
they are for a wedding. I also do not believe cakes for other occasions
should be made with any less quality or time involved than I invest in my
wedding cakes. All cakes are made using the same fresh ingredients and
same amount of thought and loving touches.

These
cakes are for when you want a special cake but a bit more budget
conscious. The frosting is made
using real butter. The cake will
be decorating with one of the following designs: swirl, vertical ruffles, horizontal ruffles, rosette, or
petal. These cakes can be topped
with flat gumpaste/fondant toppers or put on a stick.
- Fondant cakes are more my specialty - Starts at
$3.00 per serving for cakes with simple decorations and basic flavors.
Many
people believe they do not like the taste of fondant. My fondant is handmade resembles a combination of
buttercream and marshmallows. I
can even add white chocolate if you prefer. My fondant cakes are first covered in a yummy chocolate
ganache made with chocolate and cream.
This gives it a nice shell in which to apply the fondant. The ganache also makes it easy for guests who do not enjoy the
consistency of fondant to peel it off.
Regardless of which frosting
you choose, complicated and intricate designs, hand-made gum paste flowers and
figurines, and gourmet flavors require additional charges (to be determined at
time of order or consultation). Fruit fillings add $0.25 per
serving.
Carved cakes to resemble
specific objects or characters will also require additional charges, depending
on difficulty. Keep in mind that most of these cakes require me to bake
large cakes and then carve them down to the desired shape. The
"wasted" cake does incur cost.
A 50% non-refundable deposit
will be required to secure your date. The balance is due two weeks prior
