Frequently Asked Questions

What size cake should I order for "x" number of guests?
We have a cake serving guide to help you decide on how big a cake you should order. We generally recommend 5 servings per pound but you know your guests best and can decide if they like big slices or small slices.

Some cakes like Carrot Cake or Italian Rum Torte are much heavier per serving so you can cut down the size ordered. For example, if you have 25 guests that would be a 5 lb., 12" round pound cake but if you want Carrot Cake you only need a 10" round.

What about peanut allergies?
Peanut Allergy Information
We are not a certified peanut-free facility

If you know of a peanut-free bakery in the Philadelphia area please contact us so we can list the shop here.

We do not use peanuts or peanut oil in any of our products.
We rarely walnuts, almonds, pecans, and hazelnuts.
All of these come from suppliers that specifically state that their facilities also process peanuts.

Ordering cakes for people with peanut allergies - When you place your order let us know if you are ordering with concerns for a peanut allergy. The order will be tagged and we will make every reasonable effort to prevent accidental exposure.

Legally we cannot call ourselves a peanut-free facility. To qualify for that designation all equipment would have to be replaced with new equipment. When an order is placed and tagged as “Peanut Allergy” we are extra careful that no staff brings in any peanut foods or snacks. Also the order is kept separate from any products containing walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans during makeup, baking, and packaging. While we go to great lengths to mitigate any exposure or cross-contamination we cannot be responsible for any adverse reactions.

Do you deliver?
Yes. Delivery is based on time and distance. Email for an estimate. We'll need the exact address, parking details, inside details (where the cake goes), date and time of day. Price ranges from $5 for very local to $150 downtown. Delivery to any of our wholesale accounts on regular delivery days are free.

Do you offer wedding consults and is there a fee?
Yes on consults. We're happy to answer questions about custom cakes. You don't have to order from us.
No on the fee.

Please refer to our wedding and specialty cake consultation checklist for more.
Most of the initial questions can be covered by email.

How much of a deposit is required for a wedding cake?
For wedding, custom, and specialty shape cakes a 25% deposit is required ($25 minimum) to place the order. Payment in full is required 2 weeks in advance of the order date.

How much do you charge for wedding cakes?
The price per serving depends on the level of detail in the design. Prices start at $5.50 per serving for most designs. Simple tiered cakes are less.

It's important to note that we recommend 5 servings per pound (3.2 ounces per serving) and we will detail out not only the number of servings but the total weight of your cake as well as the tier dimensions. Always compare yield in servings as well as the total weight of the cake.

Do you offer wholesale / volume pricing?
Discounts for wholesale accounts depend on the item and amount ordered. Please contact us well in advance to discuss pricing. Generally if it's cheaper for us we will pass along savings to the customer.
