What you need to know before scheduling a consulation
We would love to schedule an appointment with you! We require a credit card on file to reserve your tasting time. The tastings are $25 for up to 5 people. This goes towards the cost of your cake if you book with us. Please note we cannot confirm a date/time for your tasting until we know what flavors you want to taste. If you have any questions about flavors, or pricing, please let us know! We have tastings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Saturday tastings can book up 2-3 weeks in advance, so please plan ahead!
In order to do so, it is helpful to know:
-What day and time is your wedding?
-How many guests are you inviting to your wedding?
-How many people are going to be at the tasting?
We also need to know what 4 cake flavors you would like (cake/filling/frosting combinations).
For example:
1) Champagne Cake with Strawberries and Whipped Cream and vanilla frosting
2) Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse and cream cheese frosting
3) Strawberry with Strawberry Buttercream and vanilla frosting
4) Yellow Cake with Hazelnut Mousse and cream cheese frosting
*We allow a large time window for each tasting, to make sure we have enough time to discuss everything about your cake. We will not be able to accomodate a full consulation if you are more than 20 minutes late. You will still be charged for the tasting, but we many not have time to discuss everything. Please allow enough time for traffic and parking when you plan your visit. Call us for parking and direction help.
Wedding Tasting FAQs:
Q: Why do you charge for the tastings?
A: Good question. We make your four flavors fresh every time, and you will meet with our designer to plan out your custom cake. For these two reasons, we charge for the tasting. However that goes towards the cost of your cake if you book with us, so if we make your wedding cake, tastings are free! We keep a rotating selection of flavors stocked in our front case for purchase. This is to allow you to get to know us and our cakes before you schedule an appointment. By the time you are scheduling a formal tasting with us, we hope you have a good idea of what we are all about, and that you enjoy what we bake, and are pretty confident you want to go with us.
Q: I want to serve several flavors, can I taste more than 4?
A: We are happy you like cake so much! For the consulation, we make 4 flavors because it is enough for the tasters to try a good variety of flavors to see if we are the bakery for them, but not too much that it is harder to choose the flavors of your cake. Most wedding cakes are 2-3 flavors, so choosing from 5 or 6 can be difficult. However, once a bride and groom book their cake with us, if they are still interested in tasting more/different flavors, we are happy to set up another tasting, or provide a little to-go box, depending on your schedule, at no additional charge.
Q: Can I bring children to my tasting?
A: We love kids. They are always welcome. However, the tastings generally take over an hour, and there is not a lot for children to do during this time. If you bring along a little entertainment for them, everyone will be happy.
Q: What are your most popular flavors?
A: The champagne cake with strawberries and whipped cream, and chocolate cake with cookies and cream mousse are our two most popular flavors. When choosing your cakes, pick flavors you enjoy, but also keep in mind what would please the majority of your guests. That way everyone will be happy and filled with cake.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: We require a credit card number on file to schedule your tasting. Your card will not be charged in advance. We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less that 24 hours before your tasting, are a no-show, or more than 20 minutes late, you will be charged for the tasting. This is a non-refundable charge, so please be mindful of your schedule. If you can't make it or need to reschedule, call us as soon as possible to avoid being charged. We are in a high traffic area, so please allow ample time for parking and travel, especially if you have never been to the bakery before. If you are more than 20 minutes late, we will not be able to accomodate a full tasting, but you will be charged accordingly.
