Do you offer a Wedding Cake Consultation?
Please call for an appointment to go over the design of your cake, and let me know if there are any cake flavors you are interested in so I can have samples ready for you to taste. During this time we can also go over photos or ideas that you may already have, and I can sketch a custom design. The cost is $25 and if you reserve your date with me, it will be applied to the balance of your cake. The consultation fee must be paid upon arrival of your appointment and any cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Appointments can be made no sooner than one week in advance, and a maximum of 4 people are allowed to attend the tasting. Consultations have a maximum time slot of one hour. * Sketches and designs exchanged by email are free of charge.


How far in advance should I order my cake?
Orders must be made as soon as possible. For simpler designs and cakes serving less than 50 people, a minimum of one week is allowed. Larger orders (particularly wedding cakes) require a minimum of four to six weeks in advance.


Do you deliver the cakes?
Cakes can be delivered or picked up depending on your needs. For wedding cakes or large orders, delivery starts out at $75 and is based on the distance from my Naperville location. I may only charge a minimal fee for smaller orders within a 10 mile range.

How are your wedding cakes priced?
My wedding cakes start out at $3.75 per serving for buttercream. There is an extra $2 cost per serving for fondant cakes. Depending on the complexity of the design, additional charges may apply. Please contact me by email or phone for a quote.

What are your Cookie prices?
Prices start at $3.00 per cookie. Discounts may be given for larger orders. Custom cookie designs are also available in sugar cookie, gingerbread or shortbread.

What is your refund/deposit policy?
