4 to 6 Months
CAKE TASTINGS
Choosing the flavors of the cake is just as important as choosing the design! Once you have your wedding date and reception site finalized and are ready to talk cake details, give us a call! Tastings are available by appointment only on Sunday afternoons from 2 pm to 5 pm.
BOOK YOUR ORDER
The booking process includes signing a contract which outlines our policies, what each party is responsible for, and payment terms. Once the cake tasting is complete, you will receive a completed order detailing all of the choices you've made and the amount of the deposit. You then have 1 week to review it, make sure you're happy, ask for any changes, sign it and return it. The deposit is due at the time of the booking. Your order is not considered booked until the deposit is received.

CONFIRM DELIVERY DETAILS
We will reach out to you to confirm the time of the ceremony, reception time, delivery address and the guest count. At this time we may offer suggestions for additional cake servings if needed. I will also contact your venue to confirm delivery, set up times and other arrangements.
