Pricing & Custom Cake Information

Every cake we make is a one-of-a-kind piece of edible art. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, or unforgettable event, our cakes are made to order using the highest quality ingredients and hand-crafted designs.

Because each design is fully custom, final pricing varies based on size, complexity, and decoration. However, we provide starting prices below to help guide your planning and ensure transparency from the start.

Do you have a storefront/bakery we can visit?

Not at this time. All cakes and desserts are custom made-to-order in our commercial kitchen near downtown Raleigh. We offer consultations over the phone, email, text, in person at our kitchen (in our meeting space), or wherever is convenient for you.

Do you have a flavor menu?

Yes! While we are happy to work with you on achieving your desired flavor combos, we have standard flavor offerings as well as premium flavors and pairings we highly recommend.

What Affects Your Custom Cake Price?

• Size (serving count)
• Design complexity and sculpting
• Style of finish (buttercream vs. fondant)
• Sugar flowers, edible figurines, hand-painting, etc.
• Delivery/setup location and timing 

We specialize in highly detailed sculpted cakes, realistic edible art, and luxurious wedding designs and everything in between. We focus on not just presentation, but flavor. We have but one rule: Every cake we bake must taste as good as it looks, or better. This dedication require extensive time and craftsmanship and so the cakes are priced accordingly.

How far in advance should I place my order?

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance or more.

Because all cakes are made to order, we have a limited capacity every week depending on the orders we received as each cake can vary significantly in time/resources needed. One cake may take a few hours, another can take 20! It is not uncommon for us to be completely booked 2-3 weeks into the future so we urge planning ahead. 

We also work on a first-to-book policy!

Because we receive so many inquiries, and not everyone books, we only secure dates once an order is confirmed and a deposit paid. 

Wedding cakes and large event orders may require 3–4 weeks or more, especially during peak seasons.

We occasionally accommodate last-minute orders based on availability, so feel free to ask!

Can I get a quote before I book?

Yes! To provide an accurate quote, we’ll need details like the event date, guest count, design inspiration, and preferred flavors. Use our Contact Form to get started.
