Q. Is the deposit refundable or transferable?

Q. Do you stay and cut the wedding cake?
A. No. However if you desire someone to stay and cut your cake, we charge $.50 per serving for this service. This service DOES NOT include napkins, basic plates, and forks.

Q. Do you offer dummy (fake) cakes, sheet cakes, or cupcakes in addition to the wedding cake to save on cost?
A. Yes. We love this option as a way to save!

**Dummy cakes are styrofoam cakes, iced and decorated just as a real cake would be and are 1/2 of what the real cake would cost, based on the design, and size.

**Kitchen cakes/sheet cakes are non-decorated, single-layer, buttercream-iced, pre-cut, and served to guests after the cake-cutting ceremony.

Q. Can I order my wedding cake from you, and a groom's cake or sheet cake from someone else?
A. No. This is a quality control issue. Since we cannot guarantee the quality of someone else's work, we have a strict policy against the mixing of cake vendors, including cupcakes. The cake is all cut and served in the end, and there is no differentiating what slice came from whom. If someone was to get sick, or simply not enjoy the taste/look of the secondary vendor's cake, they would not necessarily know that it wasn't provided by the same company that you hired to create your wedding cake. We recommend that if you have a family member, friend, or other preferred bakery in mind, that you serve their cake at the rehearsal dinner, the night before.
