Why should I order a cake from you?

 

Why aren't there any prices shown?

 

Gosh, you don't HAVE to....but if you CHOOSE to, you will be guaranteed the loveliest most delicious cake that I am capable of doing. Since my business consists of only me, you are assured of getting the utmost professionalism because I really know what I'm doing. Not only that, I'm darn friendly too.

Because they're free! Ha! Gotcha! No, it's because every cake I do is so customized, they all have their own prices. Price is dependent upon number of servings, what kind of materials are used for the art work, labor time, certain cake flavors, special ingredients, research, and whether or not I have to build a special stand or buy a larger cake board. By far, the biggest cost-determining factor is labor. The longer it takes to do it, the more expensive it is. Wedding cake prices start at $3.50 per serving. Please see additional pricing info, below.

 
 

How do I order a cake?

 

Where are you located?

 
 

You can e-mail me, or call my business phone number at (360) 531-3028 Monday thru Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. If you 're not sure you want to order, and want more info, just call or email me for info or a price quote.

 

I am located in bee-yoo-tiful Port Townsend, Washington...how great is that?!?! My working kitchen is at 939 Kearney Street. Go to MapQuest.com and enter the above address to get a map!

 
 

How far in advance do I need to order?

 

Do you ship cakes? Do you deliver?

 
 

There's no such thing as ordering too early! My advice is to order as early as possible to guarantee getting a cake for your special day. My workload is determined by the number and complexity of cakes in a given week and some weeks can sell out early...especially during wedding season (April thru September). Last minute ordering? I try to accomodate, but due to the nature of my work, advance planning is a must. I'll never be in the "drive-through" business, let me tell you that. However, if you haven't planned ahead, and I can do something for you, believe me, I will. But if you call me today to order a sculpted castle for tomorrow, it's just not gonna happen.....capiche?

 

Some other cake shops may ship cakes, but I don't. I stand behind and guarantee complete satisfaction with my work, and frankly, if I brought "Brown" or "FedEx" into the equation, I couldn't guarantee anything. Too much can go wrong in the cake transportation department. No one but me or the customers themselves are allowed to handle my cakes!

Yes, I do deliver! There is an extra charge for that, and it's determined by how far I go. How far do I go? Generally, the Olympic Peninsula area only. These days it just gets too costly to go any farther...especially when you have to take a ferry!

 
 

Some important things to know......

 

More on pricing.

 
 

I am a former full-time cake designer by trade. I now do cakes more as a pleasurable hobby than a full-fledged business. I loved designing and creating cakes for a living, but the hours are brutal, and it's just not in me to dedicate those kind of hours to a job when I have a family to take care of and spend time with.

Because of that, I may not always be available to create a cake for you because of other commitments I have.

As always, I suggest as much notice as possible, it's the closest I can come to guaranteeing that I can do your cake.

 

As you can see by perusing my cake photos, that what I do is very specialized.....you don't see these kinds of cakes in your bakery down the street, most likely. It's important to know also, that the cakes I do are very very labor intensive, and they take a LOT of time. Some cakes take me a week to construct. Because of this, they can be quite pricey. My supplies and kitchen rental are expensive, and, as they say, time is money.

I have a $250 minimum for all cake orders. I am only really interested in doing cakes that are unique, and challenging. Gone are the days where I do sheet cakes "a la Costco". For most occasions, your local baker can provide you a lovely cake to meet your needs. But if you are looking for that "special something" that will exceed all expectations and don't mind spending a little extra, then please, contact me. Thank you.....
