We design it together
I reply within 8 business days with a few questions and a quote. For a wedding, we can arrange a tasting box of cake flavors and fillings for you to try at home.

A deposit holds your date
Your date goes in my calendar once the deposit of 50% is in.

Pickup or delivery
Pick it up by appointment in Sugar Land, or have it delivered in Sugar Land, Missouri City and Sienna[, set up at your venue].
Starting prices
Every cake is quoted on its size and design. [Starting prices include your choice of flavor and filling, a smooth buttercream or fondant finish and simple decoration. Fresh flowers, sugar work and delivery are quoted separately.]
The cakes are made with real butter, cage-free eggs, real vanilla and fresh fruit, and never with preservatives or a box mix[, or anything from a wholesaler].
