Frequently Asked Questions

I take an artisanal, small-batch approach to every cake, which is thoughtfully crafted with premium imports, local highlights, and ingredients that elevate both flavor and experience. My process is intentionally slow and hands-on, allowing time for ideas to steep and details to emerge with clarity.
The result is a cake that feels considered, personal, and quietly extraordinary.
I don’t – and that’s intentional. Focusing solely on cake allows me to work with premium ingredients and imported specialties that wouldn’t make sense across a full dessert menu. It’s a more contemplative process, and it means every cake gets the very best of what I have to offer.
No, I design cakes – I don’t replicate them. I’m happy to draw inspiration from what you love, and I can interpret the mood or inspiration behind a design, but your design will be a one-of-a-kind piece tailored to you.
I offer a carefully curated menu of flavors, crafted to balance depth and richness. If you have a specific request, let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
Pricing varies based on size, design, and detail. Wedding cake commissions begin at $900, and other milestone cakes have a $225 order minimum. Final pricing is determined after our design consultation.
Yes. Select vegan and sugar-free (keto-friendly) cakes are available by request. Each is crafted with the same care and quality as my signature offerings.
