Things to consider about your cake

A serving is considered to be 1.25" W x 2" D x 4" H.

As a general rule, base your cake servings on about 85% of your guest list.

You may want to provide more servings if the cake will be the only dessert offered and/or you will only be having finger foods available (versus a full meal).

If you plan to have several different flavors of cake, you may want to increase the servings as many guests opt for seconds to try the different flavors.

If alcohol will be served at the reception, it is likely that fewer guests will eat cake.

Your Personal Consultation

Please remember, it's never too early to start planning. Schedule your consultation early. If your wedding date is less than 90 days away, call and ask about availablility. You may also view the calendar page to check if your date may be available.

Do some research. Search the internet, magazines, and other resources for wedding cakes. Get an idea of shapes and styles that you like. Bring these ideas and photos with you to your consultation. We will also have some books and photos for you to browse through during your visit.

If you plan on incorporating your wedding colors in the cake, please provide a sample of the color(s). A piece of fabric or ribbon, an artificial flower, a paint chip, or some other sample would be appreciated. We will make every effort to match the color exactly.

We will provide cake samples for you to taste during your visit so that you will know exactly how your cake will taste. You may choose as many flavors as you would like for your cake, there is no additional charge.
