Plates ready to go for a day of tastings

Every wonder what a tasting is exactly?  Usually complimentary (unless you have more than 4 tasters), we offer a variety of cakes and fillings to try.  If you want to try something specific, like a type of icing or mousse, mention it and we’ll include it on the plate, otherwise you’ll sample our vanilla butter cake, chocolate cake and then depending on what we have made that week, our strawberry, italian, or red velvet (we have just started to offer Pillsbury White cake, for that light and fluffier cake some of us grew up on).  Then we try a variety of fillings, such as cream cheese, white choc mousse, lemon, raspberry, caramel, chocolate something……  usually 3-4 different types.  Last but not least, our sweet buttercream, chocolate buttercream, chocolate ganache and white chocolate buttercream.  We keep everything separate so you can come up with your own combination of flavors-  chocolate cake, lemon curd, white chocolate mousse and ganache???  Sounds different, but surprisingly good!

While you are tasting our cakes, we go over the colors, theme, style of your reception and discuss the design of your cake.  It is best to do a little homework before you come in and bring pictures, colors, etc. of what you are interested in.  That way we can give you a firm quote and a rough sketch of what you are looking for.  Usually everything else we can accomplish thru email (snail mail in our case because we are that slow, but we try), over the phone and sometimes one final visit a couple of weeks before your wedding to finalize the details.  If you decide to book us, it’s a $100 deposit to hold the date-  after that, you can take as long as you need to finalize your design and your numbers. 

So, really, it’s as easy as eating cake and talking about your wedding- both things we love to do!

If you’d like to set up a tasting, just call Lena or Jan at 868-7771.  If your wedding is during a busy time, such as May or June, September or October, you might call us sooner than later.  We look forward to meeting with you!
