Wedding Cake Orders

We look forward to working with you to create your dream wedding cake. Sometimes event dates are already completely sold out so to avoid any disappointment, first check with us to confirm your wedding date is still available. Secondly, if you want us to deliver the cake, be sure your site is within our delivery area, and that your preferred time range is still open. With your desired date and time range available, you will want to come in for a cake consultation.

Wedding Cake Consultations

Cake consultation hours are available each day until one hour before the store closes. No appointment are necessary for cake consultations but cake samples do need to be reserved in advance. We make our cake samples to order based on your favorite selections. To help save you time, we recommend placing an order for cake samples to be ready at the same time as your initial cake consultation. Then, when your are looking through our photo album and discussing your ideas, you will be able to taste our cake.

Buttercream Wedding Cakes

This type of cake is best eaten at room temperature. The cake can stay in an air conditioned room for up to 7 hours, but must be kept out of sun light and spot lights. All of our buttercream cakes are layered. Each tier is filled with six layers of cake and five layers of buttercream or chocolate ganache and are iced in buttercream or covered with fondant. Prices are primarily based on the style of presentation chosen and then multiplied by the closest amount of servings needed (some filling or adding liquors add an additional charge). Some details to your cake order have additional charges, such as monograms, coloring of icings, special trims, etc. We only decorate our cakes with icing flowers or with fruit. Your florist would need to arrange and decorate the cake if you want fresh flowers. Decorating the top of the cake with icing bows or icing flowers has an additional charge.

Choices for the outside presentation of your wedding cake:  We decorate most of our cakes with vanilla buttercream or with fondant. The outside presentation can usually be done with icing, but some presentations require that we use fondant.

Buttercream presentations (a slightly off-white color) can also be tinted another color (for an additional charge), but remember that because vanilla buttercream is not pure white, we cannot achieve certain colors. Decorator icing, mocha (a beige color), or dark chocolate (a brown color) buttercreams can also be chosen for the outside of wedding cakes or groom's cakes. Fondant presentations can be pure white or tinted another color (for an additional charge). Fondant icing provides a very smooth surface to decorate. This is the best type of icing for cakes that are to be displayed indoors for long periods of time or for outdoor weddings as long as the cake is kept reasonably cool and away from direct sunlight and heat. If you would like to taste the fondant icing, you can order fondant to be put on top of your samples.

Wedding Cake Styles

Please note that we do not provide fresh flowers. Your florist will need to assist you for your fresh flower arrangements or table greenery. Our buttercream is make with butter so it is not a true white color, but slightly off-white. If you would like the outside of your cake to be white, we must use rolled fondant as the outside icing. There is an additional charge to tint fondant or buttercream to another color. When we color icings please remember that we are limited in using only food colors. We try our best to achieve as close as possible your color selection. Some colors are subject to fading, running, or of being too bright.

Mouse Style Wedding Cakes

Gaining quickly in popularity are our creamy, chocolate mousse wedding cakes. Each tier of this type of cake has 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of mousse filling. This type of wedding cake is for couples who want to treat their guests to an extraordinary chocolate dessert with a contemporary presentation. Decorations for this type of cake can be either white or dark chocolate shavings, chocolate ribbons, or thin chocolate squares. Many brides often have their florist decorate this type of cake with fresh flowers.

Mousse cakes are more fragile and delicate, so they must be kept refrigerated, and only be taken out of the refrigerator one hour before serving for display in a cool air conditioned room. This type of cake should not be displayed in a warm room or for a long period of time. We do not recommend this type of wedding cake during the hot summer months, or for it ever to be served outside.

White Chocolate Mousse Cake - yellow cake filled with two layers of white chocolate mousse and a light grand marnier syrup.

Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake - chocolate cake filled with two layers of dark chocolate mousse.

Marble Mousse Cake - chocolate and yellow cake filled with a layer of white chocolate mousse and a layer of dark chocolate mousse with a light grand marnier syrup.
