FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Rates: Decorated wedding and celebration cakes begin at $5.00 per serving. Final rate may vary according to cake designs or structures. Standard serving size measures 1"x2"x4". Couture embellishments, hand-sculpting, and custom structural designs are just a few elements that determine the price per serving. Fruits, nuts, and exotic or premium flavorings and liqueurs may also bear on the price per serving. Upon consultation you will be provided with an invoice detailing the cake elements that you choose, with full disclosure of your final price. Cardinal Cake Company will work with you to find solutions within your budget for your wedding or celebration. Cake stands and displays are also available to rent and may be subject to additional deposit.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Scheduling a consultation and tasting is more important than you would think! At first, it seems as though it's "just cake." But during your consultation construction considerations are identified and I am able to educate you on the most appropriate design options to fit within your budget. This is not just an opportunity to "pitch a sale." The consultation is an opportunity for you to learn about how to calculate servings, display, cut, serve, store your custom cake and for me to learn about your style, serving needs, venue, and display requirements!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am continually enrolled in an award-winning training program as well as remaining active with the local professional cake community.
