How far in advance should I place an order?

I can only accept wedding cakes with at least 60 days notice, the more notice the better. The reason for this is because there is typically a lot of coordination and we need the time to get the exact cake you want, including having a tasting and being in touch with the wedding coordinator and venue.

Celebration Cakes I need 2-4 weeks notice. The more notice, the better. (This lead time is smaller than wedding cakes because there is significantly less planning and coordination involved). Inspiration photos are only inspiration, I will not copy an exact cake.

I have food allergies, can you accommodate them?

Yes! We are a peanut-free operation. I also offer gluten-free versions of almost everything. 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 $35, price will increase based on distance and finishing touches (i.e. setting up a dessert table). Our smallest wedding cake is a cutting cake and starts at $75.

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?

Everything is priced per slice. These prices are guidelines, sometimes things may be priced higher depending on the level of requested detail.

• Basic Buttercream texture (smooth, horizontal, vertical, rustic, spackle, dots) $6.50/slice

• Vintage Piping $7.50/slice

• Buttercream Flowers $7.00/slice

• Palette Knife $8.50/slice

• Fondant $10.00/slice

Sheet cakes are non-decorated cakes that help supplement any cake slices that you may need if you only want a small cutting cake. These start at $4.00/slice (the price will only increase if you choose a *premium flavor).

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?

We have 3 types of tasting kits available. Please inquire about them and we will send you more details on the kits, pricing, and availability for delivery.

Where do you deliver?

We are located just outside of downtown Cleveland and will deliver to both western and eastern suburbs within 40 miles of Cleveland. 

Do you make dessert tables items?

Desserts & Dessert tables I need 6 weeks notice (the more notice, the better) so I know if I have the space or not to accommodate any quantity. 

Typically 80-85% of guests will enjoy 2 sweets. I recommend ordering either 3 small desserts per guest for 80-85% of guest count or 2 larger sweets per guest for 80-85% of guest count.

When you are ordering for your guests, I recommend keeping flavors minimum. For example, if you have a 150 guest event, and want to order around 360 items, it is ill advised to order 5 flavors of cupcakes, 5 flavors of cookies, 5 flavors of trifles, etc. If you keep the flavors to 2 flavors of cupcakes, 2 flavors of cookies, 2 flavors of trifles, then all your guests can try most of the options. This way, no one is left out.

• Small sweets: mini cupcakes, mini cookies, mini brownies, mini cheesecakes, mini tarts

• Larger sweets: cupcakes, decorated sugar cookies, mini trifles (5oz cups).
