Cake and Desserts FAQs: Answers to Your Sweetest Questions

Cake/Dessert Tastings:

We are a cottage law bakery and can provide tastings.

Recommended Booking Time: It's advisable to schedule your tasting and cake order around six to eight months ahead of your wedding date. Our availability is limited as we accept a restricted number of orders each week. The busiest periods tend to be from February to June and September to November.

Guiding Your Ideas: We encourage you to bring pictures that inspire you, whether they're printed cake photos, saved images on your phone, Pinterest pins, snapshots from bridal magazines, or even color swatches and invitations. Your inspirations can be invaluable, especially if you're still exploring cake designs.

Tasting Guest Count: Our cake tastings with A Piece of Cake & Desserts accommodate the bride and groom as part of the $25.00 + fee. 

 

 Cake Boxes: Absolutely! At A Piece of Cake & Desserts, we provide to-go boxes containing cake samples. You're able to select up to four cake flavors and four cake fillings, or alternatively, choose from our selection of cake pairings. 

Wedding Cake Pricing at A Piece of Cake & Desserts: Our wedding cake pricing begins at $6- per slice. There will be supplementary fees for custom flavor combinations, intricate decorations, specialized designs, the use of fondant, delicate lacework, and other unique elements. Prices are determined based on your selected flavors and the intricacy of the design.

Deposit Policy and Payment Options at A Piece of Cake & Desserts:

Certainly! Our deposit requirement is an integral part of our process. A deposit is essential for all cake orders. However, please note that once three business days have passed, this deposit becomes non-refundable under any circumstances.

The deposit amount is set at 33% of your total order cost. To facilitate this process, we'll send you an official online quote via our software program. Review the quote at your convenience, and when you're prepared to proceed, you can simply accept the quote. This acceptance converts it into an official order, securing your spot on our calendar.

To pay the deposit, we offer a few convenient options.  It's important to note that additional fees may apply for credit card payments.  We accept Venmo, Paypal and checks.

Remember that our order schedule operates on a first-come, first-served basis for all dates. To guarantee a specific date, the deposit is imperative. Unfortunately, we're unable to reserve any date without the corresponding deposit. We appreciate your understanding of our policies in maintaining a smooth and efficient order process.

Delivery Charges at A Piece of Cake & Desserts:

Certainly! We do apply charges for delivery services. The applicable delivery fees are calculated based on mileage. Moreover, it's important to note that additional fees are incurred for deliveries scheduled on Sundays, holiday weekends, beach destinations, and similar instances. Your understanding of these charges is greatly appreciated as they allow us to ensure the smoothest and most convenient delivery process possible.

Set-Up Fees at A Piece of Cake & Desserts:

Certainly! We do have set-up fees in place for specific instances. These fees apply to dessert bars, cupcake weddings, and any other dessert items that are not assembled upon delivery, unlike traditional wedding cakes. Your understanding of these charges is greatly appreciated, as they help us ensure a seamless setup process and maintain the high quality of our dessert presentation.

Faux Cakes at A Piece of Cake:

Certainly! We offer faux cakes as part of our offerings. Please note that we don't create a pocket with an actual slice of cake inside due to cross-contamination concerns. Instead, we recommend having an entire layer as faux. The pricing will vary based on factors such as the design and inclusion of sugar flowers.

If you opt for a faux cake or any portion of it to be faux, kindly be aware that we require the purchase of additional servings of cake, cupcakes, or desserts equivalent to your final guest count. This ensures that every guest is accommodated with the delightful treats you've chosen. Your understanding of this policy is much appreciated, as it aids in crafting a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your guests.

Preserving the Top Layer: Should I freeze the top layer for a year from A Piece of Cake & Desserts?

To provide accurate information, we advise against freezing the top layer. It's important to consider that cakes typically contain ingredients like eggs, butter, cream cheese, and cream. After approximately four hours, these ingredients can potentially spoil. Freezing the cake won't eliminate bacteria growth, and when thawed, it could continue to develop.

Instead, we suggest considering the option of ordering a separate anniversary cake in a year's time. However, the choice ultimately rests with you. At A Piece of Cake & Desserts, we are committed to accommodating your preferences. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're here to assist you in making the best decision for your special occasion.

Anniversary Cake Information at A Piece of Cake & Desserts:

Yes, for orders exceeding $750.00, we offer a complimentary anniversary cake. If you're interested in this offer, kindly send us an email including the picture of your original cake, the desired flavor, and filling. Please ensure to do so approximately two weeks before your anniversary date.
