Frequently Asked Cake Questions
Your Questions, Answered
How far in advance can I order a cake?
It’s never too early to start dreaming up your perfect cake! I typically book orders up to three months in advance, but I’m always happy to discuss celebrations further down the calendar.

Do you offer cake tastings?
As a small, boutique bakery, I currently offer cake tastings exclusively for wedding orders. I look forward to introducing tasting boxes in the future—a delicious way to sample a selection of flavors and find your favorites!
Do you offer vegan and gluten-free options?
Absolutely! Some cake flavors and recipes adapt beautifully to vegan or gluten-free ingredients, and I’m happy to help you explore a delicious option that suits your needs.
Reach out on Instagram, through my website, or by submitting a cake request form—I’d love to hear what you have in mind!
How do I cut a cake to serve the most guests?
Great question! Custom cakes are often best served in smaller, rectangular portions rather than traditional triangular slices.
For a tiered cake, begin with the top tier and work your way down. Carefully lift each tier onto a separate cutting board, removing any support dowels as you go. Cut each cake into straight sections, then divide those into individual servings. Remove the cake boards and any remaining supports before continuing.

Is my cake ok to set out at room temp? Do I need to refrigerate it?
Your cake deserves to look—and taste—its best! Please keep it refrigerated until its recommended display time, then allow it to soften slightly before serving for the best flavor and texture.
The ideal timing depends on your cake’s size, frosting, filling, and the temperature at your venue. I’ll provide storage and serving instructions tailored to your order so you can enjoy every slice with confidence.
For outdoor celebrations, keep your cake in a cool, shaded location away from direct sunlight and heat, and bring it out close to serving time. Buttercream is sensitive to warmth, so a little planning helps keep your cake beautiful throughout your celebration!
