FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Do you have a storefront?

​No. The Cake Mama is a home-based business meaning all of the goods that I bake are right in my own home kitchen. For me, it's open 24 hours and I have everything I need to convert your vision into a delicious reality! Eventually The Cake Mama will becoming a travelling gypsy at some local markets, stay tuned! Please note that your goodies are baked in a pet free and smoke free home :)

2. Pricing, pricing, pricing.

I know what you're thinking. It's just a cake, I could go out and get a huge cake from Costco or Walmart for a fraction of the cost right? Well as true as that might be you are also getting a cake that was mass produced.  My creations are an edible version of your vision that requires time, artistry and skill. I also do not get wholesale pricing on my supplies so I do have to pass those costs onto the client so I don't pay out of pocket for an order. Customized cakes requires back and forth dialogue with a client to ensure everything is to your specifications. They can sometimes take days to finalize and nearly 3 days to actually complete- definitely not the kind of service you'd get at a grocery store bakery.

3. What is your baking & decorating process?

The Cake Mama typically starts preparing your cake the week the cake is due. Any kinds of models, fondant or gum paste decorations are made at the beginning of the week allowing them to dry completely into its final appearance. Sponges are baked 2 days prior to the due date and then filled, iced and covered in fondant (if requested) and decorated the night before.

4. Can you deliver and set up my order?

Yes I can! But wait, only for weddings. I charge $0.75/km for delivery and $25 to set up your order at the venue. Please note that you are responsible for returning any rented items within 48 hours. These details will be included in your invoice.
