Ordering
When it comes to
personal occasion or special event cakes we prefer to have at least 2 weeks notice of an
order. There is flexibility depending on how busy the shop is. Please call for
availability. For a Wedding / Quinceañera cake it's suggested you be on our books 6 months
before your event. For Wedding / Quinceañera cakes and large catering orders we require a
$100.00 non-refundable deposit to reserve a date.
Please do not
email urgent orders. If you email
an order, don’t assume it can be filled unless you receive a confirmation
email or phone call. We are a small
shop and often get booked up, so please call ahead!
Personal Occasion/Special Event Pricing Information
Because the range
of what we do is so varied, an exact price list is impossible to publish.
When it comes to traditional cakes such as rounds, squares, or sheets,
there is an initial charge for the cake and an art charge added depending on the
amount of time involved. Decorated cakes begin at $250.
Wedding / Quinceañera
Cake
Pricing Information
Wedding and
Quinceañera cakes
start with a base price per person which includes a standard, smooth buttercream
finish, appropriate borders, decorations, stacking and delivery. Anything added
beyond the standard finish, such as rolled fondant or handmade flowers, would
add to the base price. Because the design possibilities are endless, please call
us for an accurate quote on your particular design.
General
Information
Contrary to
popular belief, the most expensive ingredient in creating our unique cake
designs is Time. The actual cost of eggs, flour, water, oil and butter is
nominal. Therefore at Cup a Dee Cakes, we base our product costs on our Time.
Due
to copyright and licensing, we are unable to 'reproduce the image' of any
licensed character. This includes Disney ® characters and movies, Looney Toons
® characters and the like. We can,
however, keep the spirit of your theme in mind, such as... a traditional cake
with a licensed character candle, or... a
similar cake style that does not exactly match the character.
Other
factors that affect the final cost:
Design:
More
unique and extravagant designs require more time, which can affect the final
cost. We base artwork at
$30/per hour. If the design requires
less time than we estimated, we will absolutely adjust the price of your final
cake.
All cakes
over 100 servings include delivery and set-up within our normal delivery area. A
per-mile charge is added for any wedding cake delivery outside of our delivery
area.
Accessories: Some
cakes require additional pieces, i.e. props or accessories, such as tiaras,
toys, special candles, baby rattles, edible flowers, etc...
Special Flavors / Icings / Fillings:
Standard buttercream frosting is included in the base price of the cake. Fondant
and other types of frosting may be extra.
Special Requests:
Please inquire if you have any special requests that are not reflected here. We
will gladly give you a final estimate before you order.
