If you are expecting a lot of guests you may want to order a tier cake. Some customers however, prefer to order multiple cakes of different sizes but instead of stacking them, arrange them on the table beside each other. Tier cakes have the advantage of taking up less table space and giving you the classic look that so many people have come to love. Spreading the cakes out on the table also has it's advantages. The guest of honor can have their very own cake, people with allergies can have their own special "safe cake", or you can create a fun and festive table arrangement with multiple cakes.

*We do not charge a fee to stack the cakes on top of each other if you do opt for a tier cake (some bakeries do).

TIP: To get the best color match to correspond to the theme of your birthday party, it really helps if you bring some kind of sample!

Whether you bring us one of the invitations, napkins or paper plates or a child's favorite toy, seeing the theme helps us better understand what you really want!

What you picture as "light blue" may not be the same as what another person thinks of because there are just so many shades. If we have a sample, we can compare it to the frosting as we are tinting it to get it just right.

A sample also helps us to identify the art style and, if you are in need of more ideas, it can give us a jumping off point so that we can give you better suggestions!

Animal print designs are popular these days. Bright colors like pinks, blues or purples with black and white create a sophisticated yet fun look when paired with a bow or ribbon and a monogram.

Kids and Fondant?

If you want the look of fondant, but worry that your child won't enjoy the taste we can help! In fact, we prefer the taste of buttercream! That's why 99% of our cakes are covered in buttercream instead of fondant! We smooth it very carefully to achieve the same look! All of the pictures on this page are covered in our made from scratch (super delicious) butter cream!

If we do need to use any fondant on the cake, it would be for decorative pieces such as 3-D models or bows. But we would go over those specifics with you at the time that we are discussing your design. The fondant is dried and then 'glued' to the cake with more icing. Those pieces are easy to remove once you are ready to cut the cake. Occasionally we do cover the cake with fondant, but only by request.
