Frequently Asked Questions:

 

How far in advance should I order my cake?

During our busiest seasons May-Nov. it’s a good idea to plan at least 6 months in advance.  We can sometimes do it with shorter notice.

 

Will you put fresh flowers on my cake?

Your florist will put your fresh or silk flowers, or bows on your cake.

 

Will you match my wedding colors?

If you bring us a napkin or ribbon color, we will come as close as possible to your color selection.

 

Do I need to refrigerate the cake before the reception?

You do not need to refrigerate your cake, unless it is a champagne sheet cake.

However, cakes do not like to be outside on hot, humid Iowa summer days.

 

When do I need to pay for the cake and provide the final count?

We ask for a $50 deposit when you place your order with us.  Your deposit holds your date and goes towards your cake, and is nonrefundable. Your final rsvp count is due 2 weeks before your wedding.  Final payment in full is also due two weeks before your wedding.
