Meet Lena, our customer service girl and super talented cupcake icer!  She’s usually the first person you will talk to, either on the phone or at the shop.    Come visit Lena and she will help you design the perfect cake for your event!

This is a buttercream and fondant decorated wedding cake, which we delivered to the Arkansas Art Center, in their lovely patio area.  The five tiers of vanilla buttercream cake are covered with floral piping and cut out flowers, with cutout fondant borders.  The cake is accented with fresh orchids and stephonotis.

This black and white fondant covered cake was delivered to the Hamilton House.  It allowed us to try a few new techniques, such as the damask stencil, gumpaste jewels and bow making out of real ribbon.  Never thought I would say fondant bows were easier, but a lot of time went into that satin bow.

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!

Over the next couple of months, please order as early as possible.  Between Weddings, First Communions, Graduations (and some kind of baby boom-  a lot of first birthdays!), we are filling up earlier than usual.  There are a few weekends, such as April 25, almost all of May and June 20, where we will be taking a limited number of cakes due to our wedding workload.  Try to order 2 weeks ahead to guarantee your order.  Never too early!
