FAQ

Is there a minimum for orders?

Our minimum requirement for order is $50.

How much will my cake cost?

Our serving & prices page has prices for cupcakes and base prices for custom cakes. The base price will give you an idea of cost for a standard custom cake with minimal decoration. Prices vary depending on flavor, filling and additional hours for the level of work required.

If you send us a design and party size, we can provide a better estimate of cost. Alternatively, if you provide us with a budget we can guide you on design options.

Due to limited availability and high demand, we require at least half of the order value as the deposit.
