Cake FAQ

Please ensure you have a flat surface large enough to accommodate the size board your cake will be sitting on (which is typically 2-4 inches wider than ordered cake). If the only space available is in a car seat, a flat surface may be created by placing a rolled up towel in the incline area, and placing a non-slip gripper mat is highly recommended.

We have talented artists that can recreate almost anything you find online! We do, however, have certain restrictions when it comes to copyright issues with certain brands. Also keep in mind that results can vary, depending on size differences ordered versus what may have been used in your inspiration picture. Please feel free to fill out our inquire form.

If you are picking your cake up the day before the event, it is suggested to refrigerate your cake-especially if your cake still needs to be transported (a cold cake is more stable for transport). We use real milk, butter, and eggs and it is important for those to stay fresh. It is best to pull your cake out of the fridge at least 2-3 hours before the event. We feel our cakes are best enjoyed at room temperature. If your cake contains fresh fruit or pastry cream(s), please be sure to refrigerate until time of serving, regardless.

We do not charge tax on our cakes.

Not necessarily. If you know what you want with regard to flavor and design, fill out inquire form and we can consult with you over the phone or via email.

We recommend at least 2-4 weeks advance notice for the best option of availability. We often fill up very quickly, but if you need a cake sooner, please check with us anyway to see if we have a spot open on our calendar. If your cake does not require a lot of custom detail, we can often accommodate your request fairly quickly.

Since we are a custom bakery, our final cake price is based on a number of factors mostly pertaining to serving size and design. Please refer to our pricing chart for starting prices; once we have all your details in place, we can provide you with a quote.

American Buttercream is what is most often in America refer to simply as “buttercream,” and it is the icing we most often use. It has great stability for the more detailed artwork. However, in Europe, buttercream is typically a much softer, silkier and less sweet icing. Many consider this the more elite icing and requires a cooking stage and more skill to create. Swiss Meringue Buttercream does not hold up well in outdoor Houston heat, but would be a great choice in multiple designs indoors. Swiss Meringue Buttercream is similar in texture to Italian Buttercream. No matter which buttercream you choose, they are both delicious!

Most fondant covered cakes can be covered in buttercream instead, and we are quite skilled in getting a very smooth, polished look. But if you choose to add fondant, please keep in mind that there will still be plenty of buttercream underneath to enjoy (although our fondant actually tastes good)!

Our bakers and decorators also strive to maintain a good variety of several decorated cakes in our display case and are available on a first come, first serve basis. To reserve a cake from our case via phone, we can accept payment over the phone and secure your cake until you can feasibly arrive to pick it up.
