FAQ's & Important Info
How far in advance should I order?
Typically as soon as you know a date it is best to get in touch with me to get the process started. On average 4-6 weeks is a good time frame. Keep in mind that certain times of the year and some weekends fill up quicker than others. Wedding and large party cakes should be ordered further in advance.
What are your prices?
Each cake is custom made, so there is no "set" price list. There are very few cakes that are made identical, therefore each cake is priced according to its own design and detail. Each cake is priced according to the amount of time they will take to be achieved, ingredients, and detail. All cakes are priced by serving.
Please contact me for an estimate!
Buttercream party cakes start at $2.50 per serving
Wedding cakes start at $3.75 per serving, fondant $4.50 per serving
3D cakes have a minimum of $200
**Please keep in mind this is for basic decor, the more detail and decor will increase price per serving**
Do you require a retainer?
Yes! A $50 non refundable retainer & signed special occasion contract is required for all cakes ordered to obtain your spot on the calendar.
A $100 non refundable retainer for weddings is required, along with a signed contract.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes I do! Complimentary tastings are available by appointment only for weddings or large events. Normally these appointments are best during the early week (Monday-Wednesday) as the end of the week is busy with baking & decorating. We will meet, get to know each other, discuss your ideas, and design your cake while you enjoy tasting different flavors. Please come with pictures, ideas, and inspirations ready to create your dream cake!
Do you do consults for any cake?
Normally consults are only needed for weddings and large parties with numerous details. Typically I can get everything designed over the phone and/or by email. I will be sure that I understand your thoughts and at times can confirm with sketches if need be. If you still feel that you need to come in, an appointment can be made for an additional fee.
How quick should I expect a response from you?
Normally between 1-3 business days. Please keep in mind I am a busy mom with 3 active children & a working husband, sometimes life gets crazy and family duties come first. I normally catch up on all messages at the beginning of the week, simply put, weekends are the busiest time and I have very little free time to work on quotes or design cakes. If I have already spoke to you and you have confirmed your date, I ensure you that I have it down. If I have not spoke to you and you are waiting for my response, I promise I will get to you as soon as possible! The best way to contact me is by phone or email, if I do not answer please leave a voicemail so I can return your call!
Do you deliver? How far will you go?
Yes, I will deliver any cake. There is additional delivery fees depending on the area in which the cake will need to be delivered. I will travel as far as need be as long as I can ensure the cake will be able to handle the trip. Some cakes require delivery and set up (this will be made known upon ordering) by me because of design.
Can I pick up my cake?
Sure! I will allow most cakes to be picked up, however once the cake leaves my possession Sarah Cakes is no longer responsible. If you choose to pick up a cake that I think should be delivered, I am not responsible for anything that may happen. Louisiana roads are quite tricky to deliver cakes on, by paying for delivery you are ensuring me to get you your cake in perfect form to you.
Do you offer any gluten-free, allergy-free items?
Yes! I am currently working on new items for both of these special diets. Everyone should be able to enjoy cake! Please contact me and let me know your needs and I will do my best to help!
