    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q:  How many tiers will I need for my wedding cake?
    A:  The number of tiers you will need is determined by the number of guests you plan on serving.  A tier
    consists of two layers of cake, each layer approximately 2" in height.  The following chart shows how many
    servings each round tier will serve.  Keep in mind that wedding cake servings are smaller than what would
    be served for a typical party cake.  This guide is based on a piece of cake that is about 2" x 1" and 5"
    high (iced with frosting in between the layers).

    Q:  How much will a wedding cake cost?
    A:  The price per serving of a wedding cake frosted and filled with buttercream is $2.15 ($3.15 for
    fondant).  This price is for a basic cake design.  Cake elements such as fondant or gumpaste flowers or
    bows, ribbon, etc, are additional and priced according to the final cake design selected.  Cake fillings
    (such as fruit or mousse) are an additional $0.25/serving.

    Q:  Can I use sheet cakes to get additional servings needed for a large wedding?
    A:  Yes.  Refer to sheet cake prices in our cake brochure.  Sheet cakes will be simply decorated with a top
    and bottom border.  Fresh or silk flowers are a nice way to decorate sheet cakes.  If a more complex
    design is desired for sheet cakes, there will be an additional cost.

    Q: Is there a delivery fee?
    A:  There is no delivery fee for any of our cakes within a twenty (20) mile radius of Huntsville.  There is a
    delivery fee of $1.00/mile one way for locations beyond this limit.

    Q:  How many weddings do you do in a weekend?  
    A:  In order to provide the very best service to our customers, at this time, we only do one wedding cake
    or other wedding service in one weekend.  In some cases where a wedding occurs on a Friday or Sunday
    and we already have a Saturday wedding cake scheduled, we may take on this additional wedding cake if
    the schedule allows, at our discretion.  We never want to compromise quality customer service just to get
    additional business.


    Q:  I would like to set up a consultation.  Where are you located?
    A:  Consultations are done by appointment at our remote office, 4092 South Memorial Pkwy, Huntsville, AL
    (Coldwell Banker Building), or we can arrange a meeting at a mutual location convenient to you.  Please
    call or e-mail us to schedule your appointment.
