How much do you charge for Wedding Cakes?

Wedding cake prices are as follows:
$2.50/serving for buttercream frosted cakes
$3.50/serving for fondant covered cakes

*Please note that cakes requiring a large amount of handmade edible flowers are subject to additional charges of $25/hour for labor and material costs. Contact us with a picture for a price estimate.

What is fondant?

Fondant is an icing that is rolled out smooth with a rolling pin and then layed out on top of the cake. It provides a very smooth, flawless, elegant finish to any cake. Many people wonder what the fondant will taste like as they have had others that are not very good. We only use Satin Ice fondant which is a gourmet fondant that has a taste similar to marshmallows.

How much do you charge for delivery and setup?

Delivery (up to 30 miles) and setup are included in above mentioned pricing.
Delivery to locations over 30 miles is subject to an additional $30 delivery fee.

Do you offer Wedding Cupcakes and what are your prices?

Yes we do. Wedding Cupcakes are $17/dozen for plain icing decoration and $20/dozen for edible fondant decoration on top.

We offer cupcake stands that can either be rented or purchased through us. Pricing varies depending on the amount of cupcakes that you need for your wedding. Please inquire for further information.

What do I have to do to schedule a tasting?

First contact Amanda at amandairving@sbcglobal.net or (708)825-6251 to see what dates and times are available that meet your schedule. Then pick 2 flavors and fillings that you would like to try and let Amanda know what your choices are. More than 2 flavor choices can be done but will cost $50, however that $50 will be used as a deposit for the final cost of your wedding cake.

What if I don’t know what kind of cake I want?

No problem! We offer free professional design assistance. Once you schedule a tasting with us we will bring our books with us for you to look through. If you want to combine 3 different cakes into one we can help make that happen.

What if I want something simple? Do I still have to pay the wedding cake charges listed above?

Yes. The simplest cakes are often the hardest to work on. Since they are so simple they need to be completely flawless which usually require more work and materials on our end.

Okay, I had a tasting, liked what you had to offer and want to book you. What’s next?
Contact us to book your date. We will arrange to meet so that a contract that outlines all of the details on your end and ours can be signed. A deposit of at least ¼ of the price is required to reserve your date. Payment details are outlined in our Wedding Cake Contract.

What if I want to serve my top tier at my wedding? Do you offer 1st Anniversary cakes?
Yes, and we do not charge for the 1st Anniversary cake. Offer is valid for a 6” round filled and buttercream iced cake only. Should you want something more elaborate regular cake pricing will apply.
