The earlier the better. My schedule fills up fairly quickly especially around Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. As soon as you begin planning your event reach out to me. For weddings, a 3 – 6 months advance notice is preferred. This gives us time to schedule a tasting if you so desire.

Question 3

Question 4

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TIERS & LAYERS?

Accepted Answer

Cake Layers: These are the individual horizontal slices of cake that are stacked on top of each other within a single tier. Layers are typically separated by fillings such as frosting, cream, or jam. A single cake tier can have multiple layers. Our single tier cake may consist of 2-4 layers, with 3 layers being the standard.

Cake Tiers: These refer to the vertical sections of a cake, where each tier is a separate cake that is stacked on top of another. Tiers are often used in larger cakes, such as wedding cakes, to create height and visual impact. Each tier can consist of multiple layers. Our tiered cakes may consist of 2-4 layers stacked as tiers of varying sizes.
