Custom Celebration Cakes begin at $150 for a 6-inch cake. Final pricing reflects serving size, flavors and fillings, design labor, specialty materials, and event details.

For ready-to-order cakes with clear pricing and preset options, please visit the Online Bakeshop.

I typically open Custom Celebration Cake availability 1–4 months ahead, once wedding and event commitments are confirmed.

Please inquire at least 3–4 weeks before pickup, as custom cakes require time for design planning, communication, and production. Dates may close sooner during busy wedding and holiday seasons.

Requests more than four months in advance may be asked to check back once availability opens.

Flavor availability and dietary requests are reviewed case by case. Please include those details in your inquiry. Allergy-safe products cannot be guaranteed in a home kitchen that handles common allergens.

Allergen Notice:
While I take great care with each order, my kitchen is not a dedicated allergen-free facility. Equipment may come into contact with gluten, nuts, dairy, and other common allergens.

If you or your guests have severe food allergies, I strongly recommend working with a bakery that specializes in allergen-free baking to ensure everyone can enjoy a safe and worry-free treat.

Completing an inquiry does not reserve your date. Your order is confirmed only after availability is approved and the required invoice, contract, and retainer or payment are completed.

Pickup is available for Custom Custom Celebration Cakes are generally pickup only from my home-based microbakery in Salem, Virginia.

Delivery may be available for larger orders or events requiring setup, depending on the date, location, and order scope. Delivery is quoted separately when available.

Cakes are best kept refrigerated until about 1–2 hours before serving so the buttercream can soften slightly for the best texture and flavor. Keep the cake in its box on a level surface, away from direct sunlight, heat, or strong odors.

Yes. Small custom cutting cakes are available for elopements, intimate weddings, and celebrations when availability allows. Custom cakes begin at $150 for a 6-inch cake.

For a simple, ready-to-order small cake, please explore the Online Bakeshop.

Changes may be possible before design planning and production begin, but are not guaranteed. Requests that change the scope, design, flavors, serving size, or event logistics may require an updated quote.

I can provide a starting estimate once I have your event date, estimated guest count, desired serving size, and general design direction. A final quote requires enough detail to determine the design labor, flavors, materials, and production needs.

If you are looking for a simple cake without a custom-design process, the Online Bakeshop is likely the best fit.

Online Bakeshop cakes are ready-to-order, preset designs with listed sizes, flavors, pricing, and available pickup dates. They are the best option for customers who want a beautiful celebration cake without a custom design process.

Custom Celebration Cakes are created for events that need something beyond the Online Bakeshop, such as a more personalized design, custom colors, specialty details, or a one-of-a-kind artistic finish. Custom cakes are offered in limited quantities and begin at $150 for a 6-inch cake.

Custom Celebration Cakes are best for milestone birthdays, showers, engagement parties, anniversaries, themed celebrations, and other special events where a preset Online Bakeshop cake is not the right fit.

For simple celebrations, classic finishes, preset vintage designs, or a cake needed without a design consultation, the Online Bakeshop is the best place to start.

Yes—feel free to share a few inspiration photos that communicate the overall style, color direction, or details you love. Inspiration images help me understand your vision, but I do not copy another baker’s work exactly.

Each custom cake is interpreted in my signature style and based on the scope of the design, available materials, and current calendar availability.
