You can access our full price list here. Custom cakes start at a base price for minimum decorations and the final price is calculated based on the amount of time it will take us to achieve the chosen design. The more intricate the design, the more it will cost. For example, hand sculped elements take longer to make than those made with a mold. We strive to work within our customer's budget and to mix techniques for a stunting result. You might be shopping around for the best price on the cake for your event. While that makes sense when you're looking at your event budget, in the end, we all get what we pay for. Lovely Cakes isn't the cheapest, nor are we the most expensive in the custom cake arena. We'll give you a fair price for a job well-done; a beautiful, delicious cake made with fresh ingredients and decorated with expertise...and love.

Fondant is a sugar paste used to cover cakes and to make edible decorations, figurines and sugar flowers. Fondant tastes similar to marshmallow. Although most people find the taste of fondant pleasant, it can be too much too much if its rolled thick. By rolling the fondant thin and by putting it over a buttercream frosted cake. as opposed directly onto the cake, we keep the fondant from drying out.

The name buttercream became interchangeable with frosting and that can be very confusing. We have many people tell us that they usually don't like buttercream but they like our buttercream. That is because we use Swiss meringue buttercream. A buttercream that is not too sweet and it is very airy and fluffy like whip cream or mousse. Since our buttercream actually contains butter (European butter!), it must be consumed at room temperature to have the perfect creamy and airy consistency.
