About Our Approach
Every wedding cake we create begins with your vision and the feeling of your celebration. We work closely with you from the first consultation to the final presentation to craft a cake that tastes as exceptional as it looks and feels personal, artful, and thoughtfully designed for your day.
Design & Ingredients
We use the finest ingredients, layering flavors and textures to create a memorable experience. From Vanilla Bean and Carrot to more adventurous combinations, every cake is carefully crafted to be as beautiful as it is delicious.
Service Area
Based in Grand Rapids, we serve couples and celebrations across West Michigan and beyond. Every cake is fully commissioned to reflect your event, ensuring that even those traveling from outside the area receive the same care and attention to detail.
Booking & availability
Because each cake is a fully commissioned creation, we accept only a limited number of wedding cake orders each season. This allows every design to receive the time, focus, and artistry it deserves. We recommend booking early to secure your date and allow ample time for tasting, design, and refinement.

Artfully Meraki is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I serve couples and celebrations across West Michigan, including Rockford, Saugatuck, Douglas, Holland, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, and nearby lakeshore destinations. Each cake is fully commissioned to reflect the character of your event, ensuring every client receives the same level of careful attention and artistry.
-
Yes. Every wedding cake is a commissioned, one-of-a-kind design. To maintain the highest standards, I accept a limited number of commissions each season, allowing each event the time and focus it deserves.
-
Because of the custom nature of my work and limited availability, I recommend securing your date as soon as your wedding date is confirmed and you have booked the venue. This ensures ample time for consultation, tasting, and design refinement so your cake is perfectly aligned with your celebration.
To see if we have your date available, please fill out the wedding cake inquiry.
-
A $200 retainer is required to reserve your date. Once your design details are gathered, I'll send a proposal outlining the total cost. A signed contract and a 50% payment is then required to move forward, with the remaining balance due no later than 4 weeks before delivery.
-
Yes! Private tastings are available to clients who have reserved their wedding date with us. The tasting includes a selection of curated flavors and is offered as an optional add-on for $100. Tastings are by appointment and can be scheduled at a time that complements your design consultation.
-
Once your date is reserved, you’ll complete a cake design questionnaire. Then we’ll schedule your design consultation to discuss ideas and details. From there, I’ll begin working on your cake concept. The final sketch and full design proposal are shared once everything is officially booked.
-
The design consultation takes place once your style details and floral themes are confirmed.
-
Absolutely! Inspiration is always welcome, whether it’s a mood board, stationary, floral arrangements, or personal heirlooms. While I don’t replicate cakes, I’ll create a design that feels uniquely yours.
-
Certainly. I love working with your floral palette, stationary design, bridal fashion, and venue atmosphere to create something cohesive and meaningful. Share anything that feels like part of your story… a swatch, a mood board, or even a poem, and I’ll draw from that when designing.
-
I specialize in commissioned wedding cakes, designed to complement your venue, floral arrangements, and overall aesthetic. Each cake is crafted with elevated ingredients and thoughtful design, balancing visual artistry with exceptional flavor.
-
Yes. Wedding cakes have a $1,000 minimum. Final pricing is determined after our design consultation.
-
I will price your cake based on the design complexity, ingredients, and size needed for your event. Each cake is individually crafted, and the price reflects the artistry and time involved in creating something unique for your day. Once we discuss your vision, I’ll provide a preliminary quote.
-
I offer cutting cakes when they’re part of a larger kitchen cake order that meets my $1,000 minimum. I don’t take stand-alone cutting cake orders, as my focus is on full wedding designs that reflect the day as a whole. You’re welcome to include a dessert table with small pastries or confections, but I ask to be the only cake provider for your event.
-
Yes! we offer select keto/sugarfree, dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan options. However, our kitchen is not a "free-from" kitchen, therefore, our cakes are only recommended to those with dietary preferences and not to those with a dietary requirement or allergies, since we cannot eliminate cross contamination. If you have specific dietary needs, please mention them in your inquiry so we can explore options together.
-
Yes, all wedding cakes require delivery to ensure they arrive safely and are set up with care. Delivery is available throughout West Michigan and beyond, with fees based on cake size and distance.
-
I take every precaution to ensure your cake is delivered and set up flawlessly. However, in the rare case of an emergency, I will work closely with your planner or venue to find a solution.
-
That’s perfectly okay. Many couples book their date before every detail is finalized. I’ll reserve your place on my calendar with the retainer, and we’ll refine everything together during the design phase. The process is designed to feel easy and flexible, not rushed.
