FAQs
Sweet answers to your most-asked questions.
Still have questions? We’d love to talk through your order in person or by phone.
How far in advance should I place my order?
For custom cakes and wedding cakes, we recommend 2 to 4 weeks. Standard cupcakes and bundt orders usually need 5 to 7 days. For weddings or large events, reach out as soon as you have a date, since our calendar books up fast, especially in spring and summer.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes, we offer local delivery throughout the Detroit Metro area for an added fee based on distance. Pickup from our Auburn Hills shop at 617 S Opdyke Rd is always free and lets you see (and taste-test) the final product.
Can you accommodate allergies or dietary needs?
We can often adjust for nut, dairy, and egg allergies with advance notice. Please mention any allergies when you request your quote so we can talk through options. Note: our kitchen is not certified allergen-free.
What flavors do you offer?
Classics like vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, and lemon, plus signature flavors like strawberry crunch, banana pudding, and seasonal specials. Have a flavor idea? Ask. We love a custom combination.
How much do custom cakes cost?
Pricing depends on size, design complexity, and flavors. Every cake is made from scratch with premium ingredients, so prices reflect real handwork, not a boxed mix. Send us your details and we’ll come back with a transparent quote in 48 hours.
