Tasting Information & Frequently Asked Questions: 

Do you use Fondant? We do not use fondant or any other rolled icings! We get that same smooth look by using specially honed techniques with our white chocolate mousse frosting. This way your cake not only looks great but it tastes even better!

Do you offer fake cakes?  No. In the end purchasing a fake cake costs the same as a real cake and we would much rather give you a real cake than styro-foam.

Do you deliver?  Yes. We deliver and set up all over the twin cities and beyond!

Can I pick up my wedding cake? Absolutely. If you are on a budget or have a wedding out-of-town and are traveling our cakes our perfect for your event. They come in separate boxes with pillars and plates already to go! So you simply have to stack one on top of the other.
