Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am a baker specializing in custom designed cakes and dessert bars, so I do not operate a traditional storefront. This means I only make what clients order when the order is placed. (See below for why I use the term client instead of customer.)

  • I view every one of my customers as clients because I’m not interested in selling you a confection and hustling you out the door to make room for the next customer. My wish is that you will be so pleased with my craft, that you become a lifetime customer, perhaps even a multi-generational customer. That is why I will never consider you a mere customer, but a true client. Reach out using the contact form, or by texting or calling (504) 952-4752 now to see what the difference between a client and a customer is from the very first step.

  • While I would never be so foolish to say opening a shop is never in the future, I can truthfully say it isn’t in my short- or long-term plan. My primary focus will always be the specific needs of each individual client. Operating a retail counter means having to ensure there is enough product stocked and having enough personnel to staff the counter. This means there will always be distractions taking away from the personal and specific needs of clients when it comes to custom cakes.

  • You can get started by filling out the contact form, or by texting or calling (504) 952-4752. Please be forgiving if you must leave a voicemail, this is my cell phone, not a shop phone.

  • Everything! I only use bottom-line pricing on my quotes. The price I quote you includes the cake, decorating, boxing, credit card fees, and even delivery. You can rest assured there are never hidden fees unless you request a change to your order.

  • Yes, and the amount depends on the type of cake you are looking for.

    Signature Cakes have a $95 minimum

    Celebration Cakes have a $85 minimum

    Sculpted or 3D cakes have a $225 minimum

    Wedding Cakes have a $500 minimum

    Groom’s Cakes have a $175 minimum

    Please note that my minimums include deposits. No hidden fees!

  • Yes! For weddings and other large events, cutting service is available. Please be sure to mention that you would like to discuss this option.

    My cutting service is provided by me personally. You can be sure that you are receiving the best cake possible when the chef himself is willing to stand beside it in front of your guests while serving them!

  • Protecting the environment is something I take seriously. I start with sourcing organic and fair-trade ingredients whenever possible. Some packaging and displays are reusable to reduce landfill use. Since everything is custom made to order, waste is reduced to an absolute minimum since I don’t have to maintain a large inventory.

  • I will work with you no matter what your timeline is, but I do ask kindly for at least two weeks’ notice when possible.

    Wedding cakes should be booked at least six months in advance as bookings do fill up early. Bookings are on a first come first serve basis, and I recommend booking your reservation during your In-Person Tasting.

    I still encourage you to reach out no matter how soon your event is. If I can fit you in, I certainly will! You can get started by filling out the contact form, or by texting or calling (504) 952-4752. Please be forgiving if you must leave a voicemail, this is my cell phone, not a shop phone.

  • For weddings and similar large events, I offer In-Person Tasting. This is an opportunity for you to meet me and taste different options for your cake. An In-Person Tasting costs $50, which will go toward the deposit if you book your reservation within 48 hours of the tasting. You can get started by filling out the contact form, or by texting or calling (504) 952-4752. Please be forgiving if you must leave a voicemail, this is my cell phone, not a shop phone.

  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major US credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club). Checks are not accepted for any product or service. Refunds will be applied to the original payment method.

  • Absolutely! Delivery is included with every order for no additional cost.
