Questions - Answers
How far in advance do I need to order the cake and other desserts?
We recommend that you contact us as early as possible to reserve a date for dessert production and, if necessary, delivery. We don't have a single answer on timing, as our availability depends on seasonality. If you have a big event (wedding, anniversary or corporate event), please book a date when you already know the date of the celebration and we will discuss all the details later. For small bookings, a week or a few days is enough. Please always get in touch - we will inform you of availability and availability for your preferred date.
What size cake to order?
The recommended amount of cake per person is 150 - 200 g. For example If 30 people are attending the party, we recommend ordering a 4.5 - 6 kg cake.
Plan to order 150 g per person during the summer heat, as it is common to eat slightly less. If you are planning to eat the cake the following day, or if you anticipate a large number of gourmets at the party, we recommend ordering a slightly larger quantity.
Can you make a cake with our decorations in the shapes you want?
Yes, we usually decorate cakes according to your preferences and samples. We create cake decorations from chocolate, rice paper, sugar paste and other materials. We can create any composition you want. Of course, there are limits to everything 🙂 Each case is assessed individually.
If I don't have a cake sample and can't make up my mind, what to do?
We will provide professional advice. We'll help you decide on a cake design based on the type of celebration, the setting and your guests. In this case, we create according to the client's wishes. It happens that customers trust us and keep the dessert design as a surprise for themselves.
Can you create a cake-sculpture?
Yes, we can. It would be an interesting challenge and entertainment for us. However, we have to stress that a cake sculpture is made over several days and requires a lot of careful work, dedication and advance preparation. The price of such a cake cannot be the same as a normal cake.
Can you make a copy of the exact cake?
We are often asked to make a 1:1 replica of the cake as in the "pinteterst" photo. We do not make copies. We can make a cake in this style, similar to this one. The same with colours - it is not always possible to reproduce an identical colour, as the colour you see on the screen and the colour in reality are often different. The raw materials and inks used, and the interaction between them, have a big influence.
Can you decorate the cake with sugar paste?
Yes, we work with sugar paste. We can cover the surface of the cake, make specific decorations, create realistic figurines. We can create marble and similar effects. Sugar decorations are charged in addition to the price per kilogram of cake. Statuettes are valued according to production time.
Do you decorate with flowers?
Yes, we decorate with the flowers you want. But note the seasonality of flower types - not all flowers are always available. Flowers come from all over the world. The selection of flower species needs to be discussed in advance. If the flowers you want are not available, we will look for alternatives. Flowers are prepared for contact before being placed on the product. The flowers are not edible and must be completely removed before the cake is consumed.
Can we use our own decorations and flowers?
Yes, you can deliver your own decorations and flowers to us one or two days before the event. However, please note that the decorations must be suitable for food contact and safe. In any case, this must be agreed in advance. We strongly advise against decorating with flowers on your own or giving this task to decorators. There is a high risk of damaging our products and your own mood.

Do you make cakes for corporate events and bussiness cakes?
We produce cakes for companies with a logo and corporate identity. Cakes range from a small team get-together to an extra-large grand celebration.

Cakes are often accompanied by additional desserts such as macarons, sweets, pastries, etc. These can also be personalised with logos and colours.
