Frequently Asked Questions
01
How far in advance should I book?
As early as possible!
Wedding dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend inquiring 6–9 months in advance to ensure availability.
Celebration cakes are best booked 4–6 weeks ahead. If your event is sooner, you're always welcome to reach out—we're happy to accommodate shorter timelines whenever our schedule allows.

03
How much will my cake cost?
Once I learn more about your celebration, we’ll explore the cake size, serving needs, flavors, and overall style that feel right for you. Some couples arrive with a detailed design in mind, while others simply want something classic and beautifully finished.
Pricing is based on the full scope of the cake, including its size, design, decorative details, and the time required to create it. A more understated cake may require fewer design elements, while intricate piping, handmade flowers, fondant details, or specialty finishes will add to the final cost.
After we’ve discussed what you’re envisioning, I’ll provide a custom proposal tailored to your cake and celebration.
04
Do you offer desserts?
Yes! We offer a small selection of cookies, dessert bars, and tartlets to complement your cake and dessert table. Please let us know if you're interested and we'll send you more information
05
Do you use fondant?
Our signature cakes are finished primarily in Swiss meringue buttercream, known for its smooth, elegant finish and exceptional flavor. Depending on the design or structural requirements, fondant may be incorporated for select decorative or support elements. Every cake is thoughtfully designed using the medium best suited to achieve the desired look while maintaining both beauty and functionality.
06
Will my cake look exactly like my inspiration photo or sketch?
Inspiration photos and sketches are used as a guide for the overall design of your cake. Because every cake is custom designed and handcrafted, the final result will reflect your inspiration without being an exact replica. These subtle differences are what make your cake uniquely yours.
07
Can I make changes after my booking?
Yes! We understand that details often evolve throughout the planning process. Minor design adjustments, flavor selections, and serving increases may be accommodated up to four weeks before your event, subject to availability.
Final guest count and payment are due three weeks prior to your event. Because production time and scheduling are reserved in advance, guest count reductions may be limited. Please refer to your agreement for complete policy details.
08
Do you make gluten-friendly or vegan cakes?
Many of our flavors can be made gluten-friendly upon request. Please note that our kitchen also handles wheat and other common allergens, so we cannot guarantee a gluten-free environment.
At this time, we do not offer vegan cakes as we continue refining our recipes.
09
Do you deliver?
Yes! We offer delivery throughout Southern California, with delivery beginning at $45 and up. Delivery is strongly recommended for all tiered cakes to ensure safe transport, professional setup, and a seamless presentation.
Delivery fees are based on distance and venue location, with a custom quote provided once event details are confirmed. We regularly serve Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Santa Barbara counties.
10
What can we expect during a tasting?
Tastings are available by appointment at my private cake studio in La Cañada Flintridge. During your tasting, we'll sample a curated selection of flavors, discuss your wedding vision, review inspiration images, and begin designing a cake that reflects your celebration. Afterward, you'll receive a personalized proposal with pricing and design details.
