Tiered Wedding Cake FAQ

1. How many tiers can I have on my wedding cake?
   We can create cakes with anywhere from two to five tiers (or more, depending on your vision). We’ll guide you in choosing the right number of tiers to accommodate your guest list and aesthetic preferences.

2. How do I determine the right size cake for my guest count?
   We can estimate the number of servings based on how many guests you plan to serve. Each tier provides a specific number of slices. After a brief consultation, we’ll help you choose the perfect cake size.

3. Can I mix different cake flavors and fillings in each tier?
   Absolutely. Many couples enjoy offering multiple flavors so guests can try different options. Just let us know your preferences, and we’ll help you coordinate flavors that complement each other.

• Can you recreate a design I found online or on social media?
  We’re happy to use reference photos for inspiration. While we may not replicate a design exactly, we’ll work closely with you to capture the overall style and ensure the finished cake reflects your vision.

• What if I want fresh flowers on my cake?
  We can coordinate with your florist or provide fresh blooms if requested. Please note that certain flowers aren’t food-safe, so we always take extra steps to ensure everything on or touching the cake is safe and properly prepared.

• Can you match my wedding colors or theme?
  Absolutely! We specialize in color-matching frostings, fondants, and decorative details. Let us know your color palette and theme, and we’ll create a design that fits perfectly with your décor.

• What’s the difference between buttercream and fondant for design?
  Buttercream has a softer, more natural finish and works well for textured or rustic looks. Fondant allows for a smoother surface and more intricate detail work. We’ll recommend which medium best suits your design and flavor preferences.

• Are there design limitations I should be aware of?
  Extremely delicate decorations can be affected by heat, humidity, or travel conditions. We’ll discuss any potential limitations during your consultation and suggest the best materials and techniques for a stable, beautiful design.

• Can I add personal or sentimental items to my cake design?
  Yes. Many couples like to incorporate family heirloom toppers, small keepsakes, or monograms. Simply let us know in advance so we can plan a design that accommodates your personal touches safely and elegantly.

• How do you handle sugar flowers or edible art?
  We can create custom sugar flowers, edible figurines, or hand-painted details. These specialty decorations require additional time and may increase the cost, but they can truly bring your vision to life.

• Will the final cake look exactly like my sketch or reference photo?
  We aim for accuracy and consistency. You’ll receive a final sketch or digital mockup if needed, and our decorators follow it closely. Minor variations can occur due to hand-crafted artistry, but that’s part of what makes your cake unique.

• Can I make changes to the design after placing an order?
  We’re happy to accommodate changes up to 14 days before the event, depending on the complexity of the design. After that point, we’ve likely started sourcing materials or creating custom decorations, so changes may not be possible.

• Do you charge extra for elaborate or highly detailed designs?
  Our pricing is based on size, flavor, and complexity. Elaborate sugar work, fondant details, or custom toppers often increase the final cost. We’ll give you a clear quote before we proceed so there are no surprises.

• Do you offer gluten-free, dairy-free, or sugar-free cakes?
  Yes! We strive to accommodate most dietary restrictions. However, due to recipe adjustments, you may not be able to select from all of our standard cake and frosting flavors.

• Will my gluten-free or dairy-free cake taste the same as your regular cakes?
  We work hard to ensure our specialty cakes are just as delicious as our regular options. That said, gluten-free or dairy-free recipes often have a slightly different texture or flavor profile due to the ingredient substitutions.

• Can I choose any frosting for my special dietary cake?
  Some frostings require dairy or contain sugar. We do offer alternatives (like dairy-free buttercreams or reduced-sugar recipes), but not every flavor on our main menu is available in these formats.

• Are your gluten-free or dairy-free cakes made in a separate facility?
  Our bakery is not a dedicated allergen-free facility, so there is a risk of cross-contact. We do our best to minimize this by following strict cleaning protocols, but we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

• Can I get a sample or tasting of your gluten-free or special dietary cakes?
  Absolutely. Let us know you want a specialty option during your tasting appointment. Please note that we may need extra time to prepare these items, so scheduling in advance is helpful.

• Do you charge extra for specialty dietary cakes?
  Specialty ingredients often cost more, and recipes may require additional time and care. We’ll provide a clear quote upfront if there’s a price difference.

• Are there any limitations on decorating specialty cakes?
  In most cases, decorations can be adapted; however, certain design elements (like some sugar flowers or toppings that include gluten or dairy) may need to be altered to meet your dietary needs.

• How far in advance should I order a gluten-free or special dietary cake?
  We recommend placing your order at least two to four weeks in advance—or even earlier during peak seasons—to ensure we can source specialty ingredients and schedule sufficient prep time.

• What if I have a severe allergy?
  Please inform us during your consultation. While we strive to accommodate, there is always a possibility of trace allergens in our facility. We may suggest extra precautions or refer you to a fully allergen-free bakery if needed.

• Can you make multiple tiers with different dietary needs?
  We can create tiered cakes where different tiers meet different dietary restrictions (e.g., one gluten-free tier and one regular tier), but each tier must follow a recipe best suited for that dietary requirement.
