Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?

NEW FALL HOURS: Phone calls are accepted from 9am-3pm Wednesday-–Saturday. We are open by appointment only. We are closed Sunday-Tuesday.
When are your consultations/tastings?
Consultations are scheduled once per month. Please contact us for the next tasting date. Exceptions can be made for out of town clients.
Do you need to meet with clients for a party cake?
No, we typically do not need to meet with you to plan a birthday unless you are looking for a very complicated or intricate design. If you feel it is necessary, there is a $20.00/hour fee over and above the price of the cake.
Do you ship your cakes?
We cannot ship cakes due to their fragile nature. If you need a sugar artist near you, please look on our “Find a Vendor” page. We do, however, ship our cookies.
Do you deliver?
Yes, we deliver to all of the greater Cleveland area, including all surrounding counties. Delivery fees are billed at $1.50/mile (one way) based on the actual mileage from our location to yours. We can also deliver throughout all of Ohio, parts of Pennsylvania, NY and Michigan. Please contact us for out of town delivery fees

Do you offer smaller display cakes and kitchen cakes for weddings?
Yes, we can create a smaller cake for display then use kitchen cakes to supplement the servings. There is a minimum of 100 servings in the display cake before kitchen cakes are utilized. Keep in mind that the display cake should look reasonable for the crowd you’re expecting.
Do you make ‘fake’ cakes?
Yes, it is possible to use Styrofoam inside your cake,. However, the price of the “fake” cake is the same as the base price of wedding cake.
Will you provide a cake if we’re getting the cakes from another baker?
Most of the time the answer is no. We have spent the last 10 years building our reputation of deliciously creative cakes. On a rare occasion this may be possible.
Do you only make cakes?
No. While we specialize in creating one of a kind cakes, we do also offer decorated cookies, edible favors, gourmet cookies and pastries.
Do you offer cake or cookie decorating classes?
Yes, classes are available. Becky teaches all over the country as well as locally. Contact Becky for pricing information or check out our “Classes and Events” page.
