Where are you located?

Do you deliver?

44 Romasco Lane, Portland, ME 04101, We are open for morning coffee and pastries on Saturdays 9 am - 1 pm. Full cakes are pre-order and pick up only.

I deliver wedding and special event cakes that cost $500 or more within a 2 hour radius of the bakery in Portland, Maine. Delivery will depend on the distance (usually $3 per mile, round trip) - see the weddings page for popular delivery destination prices. Otherwise, cakes can be scheduled to be picked up at my commercial production kitchen at 59 Washington Avenue, Portland, Maine 04101.

What kind of frosting do you use?

 

Do you do tastings?

All of the cakes that I make are iced with super smooth and not-so-sweet swiss meringue buttercream. When chilled, buttercream is quite hard, so we suggest leaving your cake at room temperature for about 2 - 4 hours to allow the buttercream to warm and soften before cutting and enjoying.

 

I currently provide tasting boxes for pick up to wedding cake clients to taste at home. The tasting box costs $40 and contains 3 mini cakes in the flavors that you are most interested in tasting. We can then discuss, over the phone or email, the design of your cake.

Can you do fondant covered cakes or sculpted cakes?

How far in advance do I need to order my cake?

Do you ship cakes, pastries, or tastings?

Will you copy something I found on Pinterest or the internet?

Do you make vegan or gluten free cakes or pastries?

I only finish cakes in buttercream, and I do not make 3D sculptural cakes.

 

The sooner the better, tiered cakes and wedding cakes take at least two month’s lead time and sometimes as much as 6 months. Most weddings take place on the weekend, so delivery windows fill up fast. Standard one tier cakes for birthdays and small events (for pick-up) can be ordered one week out from pick-up (pick-up days/hours are Friday 11am - 6pm Saturday 9am - 1pm).

 

I do not ship any of my pastries, cakes or tastings.

 

The short answer here is no. I don’t copy other cake artist’s designs because I want people to come to me for my style and flavor menu. Finding inspiration in other people’s work to create something unique is a very useful tool. I do not mind being sent other cakes as inspiration. I may point you to another baker if I feel that the style is outside my wheelhouse as a cake artist/designer.

 

We do not currently make any gluten free or vegan cakes or traditional pastries. Our kitchen does use lots of flour and dairy. If you are looking for something non traditional, I can offer a pavlova meringue shell (using either egg whites OR aqua faba) that can be filled with fruit, curd (contains eggs and dairy), and whipped cream.
