FAQs
How far in advance should I place an order?
Since everything is made to order, we need at least 5 days notice for bakery items. Custom cakes require 2 weeks notice.
I have food allergies, can you accommodate them?
Yes! We are a peanut-free operation. I also create plenty of vegan, gluten-free, and vegan/gluten-free treats. While we can try our best to, and will, isolate your items from allergens, we cannot promise there will be no cross contamination because we are not an allergen-free facility.
I have a very specific design in mind for my cake/cookies/dessert table, how should I proceed?
Fill out the inquiry form or you can send us an email at customcakesbykt@gmail.com with as much detail as possible!
I have inspiration photos and would like you to re-create a specific cake, can you do that?
Every cake is created uniquely for every couple, and therefore we do not imitate exact cakes brought to us for inspiration. We love inspired photos to get an idea of what the client would like to have, however, like any artist (painter, tattoo, sculptor, etc) we have our own style and process for creating.
What is your wedding cake minimum?
Delivery starts at $100, price will increase based on distance and finishing touches (i.e. setting up a dessert table). Our smallest Wedding Cake is 25 slices, which starts at $125
What do people usually buy for their wedding?
The most popular order is a simple buttercream texture cake with fresh florals (provided by your florist). We can make sheet cakes to supplement servings.
How much does it cost?
Our tiered cakes start at $8 per serving and go up based on the level of detail. This starting price includes simple white buttercream designs. Sheet Cakes, which are used to supplement additional servings, are $4 per serving.
When I should I order my Wedding Cake?
We recommend 3-4 months in advance as we tend to book up quickly!
How does a tasting work?
After you inquire via our booking form Katie will contact you directly to schedule your tasting. You can choose a tasting for pick up, which can be picked up Tuesdays, 2-6pm, Fridays and Saturdays 12-4pm. Tastings in person are temporarily on hold, unless set up with a planner.
Tastings are $40.
There are also add-ons available for an additional cost, like custom flavors and dessert table items.
What flavors comes with a tasting?
Cake: Vanilla, chocolate, lemon, almond, red velvet, marble
Filling: Vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream, lemon curd, raspberry buttercream, cream cheese frosting, coffee buttercream.
Additional flavors may be requested!
Where do you deliver?
We are located just outside of downtown Cleveland and will deliver to both western and eastern suburbs within 40miles of Cleveland.
Do you make dessert tables items?
Yes! We have a mini dessert menu and recommend 2 desserts per guest. If you are offering a dessert table to your guests where they serve themselves, we estimate that you will need servings for 70% of your guest count as not everyone will want dessert.
