Our minimum for wedding cake delivery is $600. That includes our smallest wedding cake — about 50 servings — and delivery. If you need something smaller than that, you can pick up your cake.

Our smallest cake for delivery is either a 2 tiered cake to feed 50 or a 3 tiered cake to feed 50. If you need something smaller than that, you can check out our "White Wedding" cake in our Cake Shop. You can purchase it directly from the website.
Anything smaller than 50 servings is not eligible for delivery and you would have to pick it up the day of, or the day before your wedding.

From there you can let us know any changes, questions, or concerns which we can address via email or additional phone consultation. Once you are ready to move forward we will send you an invoice to secure your date.
The nonrefundable 50% deposit is due within one week of confirmation and your remaining 50% balance will be due 1 month prior to your date. You are able to make any changes necessary up until 1 month out.
