How do I cut my cake?

My cake servings are based on event slicing 2" x 1".  Each cake does come with a cutting guide. Here is a helpful link to a cake cutting guide as well  https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/the-ultimate-wedding-cake-cutting-guide 

Do you offer delivery?

Yes, delivery is available for an additional charge and must be requested when ordering cake to verify availability. 

Dessert pricing for delivery only (no set-up/door drop off):

Mileage is calculated from the starting point of Thornydale & Linda Vista.

Where is your cake studio located for pick up?

If you would like to pick up your order  it can be picked up in Northwest Tucson - Cross streets are Linda Vista and Bald Eagle. All cakes and treats are packaged and given storage instructions. Please note that once the cake has been collected, the client is fully responsible for the safety of the cake. Her Little Cakery is not liable from damage that occurs to the cake/dessert after the item has left our possession. 

What is a cottage baker/bakery?

I am a cottage home baker registered and licensed with Arizona Health Department under the Arizona Home Baked Goods Program. I have completed Food Safety Handling courses and all of my American Buttercream recipes have passed food safety testing at the UofA Food Safety Lab. I am not a commercial baker and do not have a store front. Her Little Cakery LLC is licensed and insured. 

How soon should I book my date?

Recommended booking should take place 6-9 months prior for weddings and large events, however I do book up to 1.5 years in advance. Please note Fall, Winter & Spring book soonest!

Party cakes are recommended to be booked 6-8 weeks in advance however you can always reach out to check availability sooner! 

Do you offer faux cakes?

Yes! I do offer faux cakes to add height to your cake if you do not need the actual servings. 

Please be aware faux cakes do not lower the price of the cake by much. The cost of the dummies are usually about the same as ingredients and the dummies are covered in the same buttercream and design requiring the same amount of time/effort. I do offer acrylic spacers & risers for rental if you would like additional creative ways to add cake height. 

Do you offer stand rentals?

Yes! I do offer stand rentals for dessert bars, cake stands and have a wide variety to fit any theme.
