Whether you're a seasoned cake expert or a custom cake newbie, we've compiled some helpful info to guide you through your cake design journey...

DATE OF EVENT
​
So you're planning an event! If you're like me then you've probably got a "to-do" list a mile long. But at the top of that list should be nailing down the date. When it comes to designing and ordering your cake, the sooner the better. For custom birthday or celebration cakes it is recommended to order 2-8 weeks in advance. Please note that we are open Wednesday to Saturday, and are closed for all statutory holidays.
If your event requires a large or intricate cake requiring delivery, it is recommended to order 3-12 months in advance. This is especially true for wedding cakes. In addition to many hours in the kitchen and design room, wedding cakes typically require on-site assembly.
Cake & Crumb typically books a maximum of two weddings per day. So make sure you book early!

​
SERVING SIZE
​
Deciding how much cake to order can sometimes be confusing. We typically quote cake based on industry standard serving size, which most people find rather conservative. For this reason, we break down our serving size chart into "Cocktail Servings" and "Party Servings". For large events, such as weddings, we suggest ordering cocktail servings for 60%-75% of your guests:

​
We decorate all cakes in American buttercream unless otherwise specified. Swiss meringue buttercream, which is made with egg whites and often considered to be "less sweet", is an option for customers who may be sensitive to sugar. Due to its food cost, Swiss meringue buttercream has an additional fee of $1.60 per serving. If you're interested in trying the difference, our Premium Cake Tasting has samples with both American and Swiss meringue buttercream. ​

Once you have chosen the serving size and flavour, we can start designing your cake! Whether you know exactly what you want, or are looking for a complete surprise, you can rest assured that Cake & Crumb will deliver something incredible for your event. If you are providing photographs for reference, please note that some design elements may be tweaked to provide a truly unique creation (we don't believe in copycats!).
