The earlier the better. My schedule fills up fairly quickly especially around Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. As soon as you begin planning your event reach out to me. For weddings, a 3 – 6 months advance notice is preferred. This gives us time to schedule a tasting if you so desire.

The cutting method can vary depending on whether you’re using a traditional style or an event style. Traditional style involves a typical wedge slice. Event Style involves a square or rectangular slice by using a grid-like cutting technique which in most cases will maximize your servings. Cake cutting tip to maximize servings:

Cake Layers: These are the individual horizontal slices of cake that are stacked on top of each other within a single tier. Layers are typically separated by fillings such as frosting, cream, or jam. A single cake tier can have multiple layers. Our single tier cake may consist of 2-4 layers, with 3 layers being the standard. Cake Tiers: These refer to the vertical sections of a cake, where each tier is a separate cake that is stacked on top of another. Tiers are often used in larger cakes, such as wedding cakes, to create height and visual impact. Each tier can consist of multiple layers. Our tiered cakes may consist of 2-4 layers stacked as tiers of varying sizes. Example of layers and tiers :

A cake should typically sit out at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving, allowing it to reach the best texture and flavor after being refrigerated. However, the exact time may vary depending on the room temperature and the type of cake and frosting used.

You should store your uneaten cake by wrapping in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. If you plan to eat the it within a couple of days, you may keep it at room temperature in the cake box or an airtight container. However, cakes with fruit or fruit fillings should be kept in the refrigerator and taken out when ready to eat.
