More Desserts From the Same Kitchen
Alongside the wedding cake, the bakery makes cupcakes from $5 each before tax, plus cookies, pastries, fruit desserts, groom's cakes, bridal shower cakes and full dessert buffets. Cake stands are also listed. Hosts can pair a smaller display cake with cupcakes or a dessert table to serve a larger guest list in a relaxed way.
Planning Your Buttercream Cake
Start planning a few months ahead so there is time for a tasting, a design discussion and changes. Bring inspiration photos, fabric swatches and your floral plan. Buttercream pairs well with fresh flowers and greenery, so sharing your florist's palette helps the cake and the reception decor feel like one design rather than separate pieces.
Consider where the cake will be displayed and for how long, since warm rooms and outdoor settings call for planning. Share your venue layout and timeline so delivery and setup happen at the right moment. For a larger guest count, a smaller display cake with cupcakes or extra servings can keep the budget in line while serving everyone.
Questions to Ask at Your Tasting
- How many slices match your guest count?
- Which cake and buttercream pairings work together?
- Which design details change the per-slice price?
- When will delivery and setup take place?
- Can cupcakes or desserts be added to match?
A tasting is also a good time to talk about cutting and serving. Ask how the cake will be presented, whether the top tier is set aside for you, and how slices are portioned for guests. Clear answers help your venue or caterer plan service, and they make sure the slice count in your quote matches the way the cake will actually be served.
How Per-Slice Pricing Works
Your total follows the number of slices you need, which usually matches your guest count. At $10 per slice before tax, a cake for 100 guests would start around $1,000 before tax, and the bakery lists an overall starting order of $250. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details.
Details such as sugar flowers, hand piping, extra tiers or added desserts can change the final price. The bakery is five-star rated and highly reviewed for cakes that look and taste as planned, patient communication, the tasting process, dietary accommodations and value for the result, with reviewers describing a reliable and stress-free experience.
Plan Your Tasting
Send your wedding date, venue, expected guest count and a few photos of designs or colors you like. The bakery typically responds within 24 hours and can set up a private tasting so you can try flavors before you decide. Check open 2026 dates early to reserve your spot on the baking calendar.
