FAQs
How much are your cakes?
Each cake varies depending on serving size, design, and flavor. Pricing for a basic cake starts at $4/serving; however, keep in mind this is a starting price. Complex designs, gumpaste figures, sugar flowers, piping details, and other specialty techniques can affect this cost. Also, nuts, liqours, fruits, and specialty cake flavors will also affect the price.
Why is your cake more expensive than my local grocery store/super center?
A custom cake is much different than a mass produced cake that you can get at a store. Each cake is made from scratch, as well as all fillings and icings. Only high quality ingredients are used, creating a difference you can taste! Also, each cake is specifically designed with you in mind. A significant portion of time is used in designing each idea. Each cake takes a minimum of 2 days to create, not including the design time. Many designs will require more time, such as complex sugar work.
FYI: The cakes you see on TV ARE NOT created in half an hour. Although many of the shows do not show pricing of cakes, these bakers usually have order minimums. (According to the Ace of Cakes website, Duff's cakes START at $1,000. The cakes they feature on TV ARE NOT these cakes.)
Can you reproduce a cake from a picture?
I will be happy to create a design from a picture that you like, or use a picture as inspiration for your creation. However, like people, each cake is special, and should reflect a person's individual tastes.
Do you offer buttercream cakes?
I work specifically with fondant covered cakes. However, the fondant is made from scratch from marshmallows, rather than using the prepackaged versions that you may have had before. Therefore, there is no chemical or preservative taste from the fondant. Also, buttercream is used underneath the fondant.
Do you offer tastings?
Although I am currently not offering tastings at this time, this is subject to change in the near future. I will keep the FAQs updated.
Do you have a delivery fee?
Delivery within the metro Atlanta area is $25. Outside the metro Atlanta area will depend on distance.
