How And When To Order

Party cakes may be ordered by telephone or email, but if it's your first time we encourage you to visit our shop to see what we have to offer. Party cake orders require a scheduled appointment time and a deposit. Please remember we often book 3 - 6 weeks in advance, so ORDER EARLY.

Wedding cake orders should call for an appointment time for a free consultation where we will give you an exact estimate and a box of our white and chocolate cake for you to take home. These appointments are done on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and sometimes Friday. The wedding consultation is limited to 3 people per session and children are not allowed. Due to the demand for Emily's wedding designs it is suggested to book your cakes 6 - 12 months in advance.
