Frequently asked questions

Q: What is your pick-up/delivery policy?

A: We are happy to deliver your cake. For large, multi-tiered cakes we insist on delivering and setting up the cake ourselves to ensure safe transport and best results.  Smaller cakes may be picked up or delivered.  Pickup and delivery times will be arranged at the tasting session or when the cake is ordered.

Q: How much is delivery?

A: Delivery is $50 per round-trip hour of travel time.  We calculate travel time using Google Maps. (Please refer to our pricing page for more info!)

Q: When should I book my cake?

A: Booking really depends on the size and complexity of your cake.  Simpler, smaller birthday cakes need only be ordered a week or so in advance, whereas a large, multi-tiered, or sculpted cake should be treated like any commissioned art work and ordered at least a month ahead of time.  Most large cakes require on-site assembly.  So if you are ordering for an event during peak wedding season (April-October) plan on booking four-six months in advance to secure your date. We are also happy to accommodate late-notice orders, and often do, but to guarantee your date we recommend placing your order as far in advance as you can.

And if you need a last-minute, but still delicious cake, stop by to pick up and personalize one of our gourmet cakes from our display.

Q: Do you provide a preview/sketch of my cake?

A: Yes, Amanda has a degree in Fine Arts/Painting from Mass Art in Boston and will not hesitate to provide a custom sketch for complex, hard-to-imagine cakes.  Let’s say you love the design of the wallpaper in your room but don’t know how that translates into cake, send Amanda a picture/the paper and she’ll transform your idea into a custom cake. Other ideas we can work from are children’s toys, favorite animals, and even lace patterns on wedding dresses.
