Will Creative Cake Co. replicate a cake from a picture?
Most cakes can be replicated with the understanding that there will be some small differences in design as each cake is unique. A final decision
on the degree of replication will be made after seeing the picture.

What is the difference between a cake layer and cake tier?
One tier is comprised of 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling for many cake designs.
Can each tier be a different cake flavor?
Since each cake is custom made to order, each tier can be a different flavor. However, please keep in mind that if you do have multiple flavors,
guests may want to try each flavor. Therefore, we advise that you order additional servings.
Can cakes be shipped?
Do to the fragile nature of cakes, they will not be shipped.
What is the difference between buttercream and fondant?
Buttercream icing is the traditional spreadable icing. Fondant is a dough-like icing that is rolled out and draped onto the cake. Cakes iced with
fondant generally have a layer of buttercream or ganache underneath. Cakes achieve a more flawless look with fondant than buttercream.
Do you offer 'dummy cakes' and is this a cheaper option for a wedding?
We do offer dummy display cakes for sale at a small reduction in price compared to that of the actual cake. A large portion of the cost of the cake
is in the time and skill involved with decorating; therefore, it does not matter whether styrofoam or actual cake is being decorated. In addition, if
you are also purchasing sheet cakes to serve your guests, it will most likely cost you more than if you just ordered a wedding cake.
Why are custom cakes more expensive than those sold at grocery or other chain stores?
Unlike chain stores that mass produce a small variety of standard design cakes, custom cakes are designed, baked, and decorated specifically
for each client. These works of art take many hours to complete and for complex designs, days are needed. Cakes seen on television actually
take days to weeks to prepare, not the 30-60 min of edited program actually shown.
Can I have a cake tasting?
Tastings are free for orders of 100 servings or more. For smaller orders, a tasting fee of $25 will be
incurred to be deducted from the order.
What is your delivery policy?

ordered at least a month in advance. If availability exists, we may be able to accommodate
requests up to one week prior to the event.

Do you make cakes for those with nut allergies?
Although many of our cakes do not contain nuts, we cannot guarantee that traces of nuts are not present in our kitchen.
