Short & Sweet Cakes
basic & budget-oriented
Short & Sweet Cakes are perfect for folks who need something simple, or want to DIY their wedding cake! They do not include consultations, cake samples, fresh flowers, tall tiers, or custom designs.
PRICING
Short & Sweet Cakes are available in two sizes:
2-tiered 25 serving cake for $160;
3-tiered cake to serve 50 for $240.
DESIGNS
We offer eight basic designs, with a few additional options. This keeps the cost low on these cakes. We will be offering NEW designs in December, so make sure to check back soon.
Tiered cakes will have buttercream, or ganache frosting on the outside. We cannot use whipped cream or cream cheese for the frosting.
DELIVERY
Delivery is $40 for within 10 miles, contingent on our schedule. We do not stay to unbox and set up the cake.
FLOWERS
We do not include fresh flowers or greenery with these cakes.
CONSULTATIONS*
We do not offer consultations for these cakes, because they are easy to order over the phone.
DEPOSIT
To secure the date for a Short & Sweet Cake, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit. The balance is due one week before the event date, however you can pay it early if you prefer. We recommend securing the date at least 1-2 months in advance for June - September weddings, and other busy holiday months, as we can book up for some dates.
SAMPLES
We do not include a box of cake samples with these cakes, but you are welcome to call and place and order for samples if you like. A sample box is $40, and it comes with four flavors that you choose from our Tiered Cake Flavors. Samples boxes require at least three days' notice to order, and are paid in advance (when you call to order). We do offer gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free options.

Additional Options
Simple extras that we can add to your cake as a finishing touch.
Ribbon: We carry 1" grosgrain ribbon in several basic colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and brown. This looks best on a smooth surface (as opposed to a textured finish). Ribbon can be used around the bottom of the tier(s), or around the middle of the tier.
No charge.
Numbers: We can add a number made from fondant, on the front of the cake or on the top of the cake. Available colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, brown, cream, gold, or silver.
$10 for one number, $15 for two.
Fondant blossoms: We carry a variety of small fondant blossoms in different colors. We can add a sprinkling of fondant blossoms to your cake! Available colors: pastels such as pink, green, orange, blue, and white.
No charge.
