Materials Used:

We use Switzerland fondant, Swiss white chocolate fondant, and American Buttercream icing as outside coverings, and occasionally Ganache will be a covering.

We use fondant, sugar paste, chocolate, modeling chocolate, ganache, rice krispie treats, and cake for modeling items.

We use handmade (hard) sugar paste flowers and  handmade *wafer paper flowers.  Sugar item are edible, but NOT recommended for eating due to the hardness of the sugar (sugar paste)

-or *the lack of flavor (wafer paper).

We use edible printed sugar sheets and edible printed *wafer paper for some decorative items.

    *Wafer paper is an edible rice or potato starch paper or ribbon. 

It basically has no taste, melts in your mouth instantly, but not necessarily recommended for eating because it doesn't have a taste, or the food-coloring-ink may have a slightly off-taste.

Regarding Fake/Dummy Cakes

& Sheet Cakes: 

Cake dummies are not usually less in pricing because the same amount of decorating is required, and styrofoam is no longer super cheap to buy.  Sometimes dummy cakes are even more costly than using actual cake, especially if we are carving them.

We don't generally do sheet cakes, but if the shape is required, it is charged at the normal per-serving charge.

Cancellations:   

IF you need to cancel your order after Retainer has been made, Retainer is non-refundable.  
The Retainer was intended to keep us from booking other cakes in your timeframe and date.

 We save your date and time slot so that we have time to work on your cake.    

  • If Full payment has been made all at one time, upfront, Half is still considered the Retainer.

  • Canceling within two months of your date:  non-refundable.  In some cases we may be able to offer half of your cake price to go forward to another cake within one year; it will depend on dates available.

  • Retainer is non-refundable; AND any work that we have done plus time used, plus any supplies that we have bought specifically for your order will be subtracted from your amount that goes forward toward a future cake dated within one year.  

 

 Can I Make A Design Appointment?

As we are purely an online business, design appointments are not generally needed because we work everything out over phone and email.  BUT we definitely can schedule a meeting if needed or if you would be more comfortable.  However with email, it's quick and easy!.  We both save time and gas, AND everything is written down and therefore easy to track and follow.  We generally send a Zelle request when it is time for payment.  

 

We are consistently able to assist you in a very accurate and time efficient manner via email.  
 

​​Regarding Your Design:

Please send any photos via email of cakes you like or send a copy of your invite if we need to coordinate. You may mail a color sample if we need to target a specific shade. 

*Please note, that if items are printed, the colors may not look like the colors on your viewing screen.  All screens show colors differently (just like TVs), and printing with food coloring sometimes varies in color results.

Please remember that we are known for delivering very accurate results and all of our orders are strictly based on a written cake design agreement that we track via email.  You will be asked to carefully read the written Order that comes in your email, and okay it,

as that is what we print-out to make your cake,

and this Order becomes our Contract once payment has been made. 

Any changes will require email with your okaying the newly rewritten Order.
