What are my icing choices?

Our main icing is buttercream and ganache, however depending on the type of cake many other options are available. Please call us at 734 7305090. We also offer fondant.

What is buttercream?

Buttercream is a mixture of butter, sugar and eggs used to fill and frost cakes. We make our buttercream "Swiss meringue" style, which is light and fluffy in texture (never grainy or too sugary). Since we use real butter the best way to enjoy our  buttercream is at room temperature hence the cake needs to be removed from the refrigerator at least an hour before serving to soften the buttercream.

What is ganache?

Ganache is a rich, thick chocolate filling made from melted dark chocolate and cream.

What is fondant?

Fondant is like sugar play dough. We knead it, roll it out in sheets and lay it over the cake. Fondant offers a range of design options for more formal cakes. Most of the cakes you see featured in wedding magazines are covered in fondant. It gives a smooth flawless matte finish, and can be draped, painted on and tinted among other things.

Should I keep my cake refrigerated?

Yes, we recommend you keep all your cakes with perishable frostings and fillings refrigerated if they will not be served within a few hours of purchase. Remove cakes from the refrigerator at least an hour prior to serving to bring it back to room temperature.

However, try to avoid refrigerating cakes that are without perishable frostings and fillings because it dries a cake. You can keep them at room temperature to maintain freshness and moisture. Make sure you wrap them with plastic wrap and/or foil.

Food Allergens & Sensitivities/I am allergic to nuts, can I consume your products?

We do not encourage the consumption of our products if you are allergic to nuts or nut oils. Our equipment may have come in contact with these ingredients during the baking process. While we will do our best to accommodate our customers’ special requests, we cannot guarantee with 100% confidence that the product will be nut free.
