How much does a custom cake cost?
Cake prices vary from cake to cake. Pricing is, like most handmade or manufactured products, dependent on labor and materials. Our cakes are all scratch baked. Cake's are priced by the serving (approximate serving size is 1x2" per industry standard). Buttercream cakes start at $5 per serving, and fondant covered cakes start at $7 per serving.
Sugar/gum paste flowers are all hand made petal by petal. A large full blown rose costs around $9-10 per rose, depending on final style, and a medium rose ranges from $7-$8. Smaller, less labor intensive flowers range from $3-$7 per stem.
The full blown roses on the wedding cake the right
are $10 per stem (per rose).
Cake toppers depend on size, degree of difficulty, materials,
and labor. For example, the hand sculpted toppers below range
from $30-$50.
Final pricing depends on materials and labor for your desired design. If you have a budget in mind, please communicate that to us upon our initial consultation, and we will design a cake around what you would like to spend.
Custom cakes are just that, custom, one of a kind. They are not generic sheet cakes available at supermarkets or wholesale stores. Each cake and decorations are hand made, one at a time, and are not mass produced. We take great pride in meticulously creating a piece of edible art for your to share with your guests and help commemorate life's precious moments.
Delivery fees are $0.59/mile after the first 5 miles. We are located in Ottsville 18942.

Does my cake need to be refrigerated?
We use real butter, eggs, milk, and cream in our recipes. For this reason, it is best to keep your cake refrigerated in the day(s) before your special occasion. We want you to get the full effect of the rich, fluffy icing, and tender, flavorful crumb, which is why we suggest you enjoy our desserts at room temperature. Think of a stick of butter, solid when refrigerated, but soft at room temperature. Remove cake from fridge at least 2 hours prior to enjoying (or planning to cut). Cake can also stay out longer, especially if its an indoor event or out of direct sunlight. Buttercream will soften in humid and hot temperatures. Keep fondant cakes in boxes while in fridge to prevent moisture migration. Store uneaten cake in the fridge for several days or the freezer for several months in plastic wrap or airtight container.

Do you bake with nuts or other allergens?

We do not bake peanuts, however, we cannot guarantee zero cross contact from peanuts or any of the 9 major allergens as defined by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) including but not limited to: egg, milk, wheat (gluten), soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, and/or shellfish.
