We work with fillings only when working with our bridal offerings. We know hot seasons can create unstable environments, so our designers will make best suggestions on final use of flavors and fillings.

Will you work with my ingredients, make substitutions or recreate my grandmother’s recipe?

We know food and memory have a connection but we are unable to use outside products brought in by customers, due to food regulations. We have tried and tested our recipes and can only offer what we know we can confidently stand behind with our "Make Life Sweeter" guarantee.

How do I travel with my cake?

Place your cake flat on the floor board of your vehicle. Never travel with the cake in a car seat or your lap. Keep your cake refrigerated or in a cold space until 1 hour before serving.
