Wedding cake questions

How much do your wedding cakes cost?
Every cake is individually priced around three things: size, flavors and fillings, and the detail of the design. Tiered cakes start at $7.00 per serving with one signature flavor and one filling included per tier. As reference points, a 3-tier cake (about 74 servings) starts at $518 and a 4-tier (about 130 servings) starts at $910.
How far in advance should we book, and how do we hold our date?
We're a small, family-owned bakery and take a limited number of weddings each week, so more than 95% of our dates fill. We recommend reserving 5 to 9 months out, since most weekend dates go early. A $100 deposit holds your date, and the balance is due one month before the wedding.
What happens at a tasting?
Tastings are $30 and last about 50 minutes. You and up to two guests taste 3 flavors and 3 fillings in any combination, then sit down with a cake artist to design your cake and leave with a price quote. Book a $500 or larger order the same day and the $30 comes right off your deposit. ($5 per extra guest, up to 6.)
Do you deliver and set up?
Yes. We deliver and set up wedding cakes and desserts across Central Indiana for orders of $350 or more, including Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville, Greenwood, Avon, Brownsburg, Plainfield, Franklin, Greenfield, Anderson, Danville, and Martinsville. Delivery is quoted by day and distance, starting at $60 on Fridays and Saturdays and $125 on Sundays and holiday weekends.
Can you accommodate dietary needs?
We offer a limited menu of gluten-free or vegan options (not both in the same cake). We do our best with food allergies, but we work with 6 of the top 8 allergens in our kitchen and cannot guarantee against cross-contamination. We also make cupcakes, cake balls, cookies, and brownies.
Can we pick the cake up ourselves?
Yes. In many cases you (or a friend or family member) can transport the cake. We assemble it, box it on a sturdy board, and hand it off ready to go. You'll want a flat surface in the vehicle, a careful driver, and the AC on.
Do you provide cake stands?
We keep a limited number of stands available to rent. Just ask at your consultation and we'll show you what's available.
Is there really a free anniversary cake?
There is. If your top tier is served at the wedding, we'll bake you a complimentary 6-inch cake for your first anniversary. Just reach out about two weeks ahead to arrange pickup and flavor.
