Tasting and Consultation

As a family bakery, there is a tremendous amount of pride in serving a wedding cake you and your guests will enjoy and talk about. Just try our cakes and you'll know!

Our wedding cake samples offer a cake to filling ratio consistent with your actual wedding cake. Order an In-home Tasting Plate and enjoy in the comfort of your own home! You will sample and enjoy twelve (12) of our wedding cake flavors, along with an easy to follow description of the flavors you're sampling. If dessert bar is in your vision, you can also order Dessert Samples. Cake Tasting Plates are $25 and Dessert Samples are $10. Dessert samples available only with purchase of cake samples. A one time credit of your tasting plate charges will apply towards your final wedding cake order. If you need to cancel your order, we require a 24hr advance notice for refund. 
 
Tasting Plate

The plate is made with 2 (3 max)  people in mind. Our cakes have been thoughtfully put together to hopefully hit flavor notes you never knew you wanted in a cake. Below are our twelve (12) standard and delicious cake flavors. While each tier can have its own flavor, we recommend no more than two flavors for ease of serving. From our experience, when you have more than two different flavors, you will need to account for more cake.

Cupcakes are not available in the Tasting Plate but all of these flavors are available as cupcakes. The flavor profile will all be similar. The major difference is that cupcakes are topped with buttercream swirls instead of the mousse filling that are in most of the cakes; and have more of a "bite". Please keep in mind the more cupcake flavors your get, the more quantity you should account for. We recommend no more than 3 cupcake flavors.

If picking up a Tasting Plate is not in your schedule with any of the above options, you can also simply choose a flavor from our wedding cake menu or ask an eager willing friend or family member to be your taste tester!

  2. Raspberry Preserve & Italian Lemon Mousse with White Cake.

If you are inquiring about Custom Cake Samples outside of our wedding cake offers, please email us the flavor you have in mind. Depending on the availability, we will get back to you if your request is available for the day of your wedding. To sample most filling flavors outside of our offerings, you will receive a standard 1/8 sheet cake with our white or chocolate cake for $40. For a custom cake and filling combination, you will receive a 8" round cake (2" tall) for $90. Cakes for both options are simply iced with no decoration and for tasting purpose only; and does not get applied to your wedding order. Minimum 2 weeks notice required.

For your convenience, we offer different Consultation Options:

Email and Quote - We recommend you start by emailing us an inspiration cake design with estimated guest counts; and we can provide you with a general quote and recommended cake size. This has proven to be most convenient for our busy couples. Our professional Wedding Team works with you over email or phone to finalize any details. You can order an In-home Tasting Plate before or after your inquiry to decide on your cake flavor.

Schedule a Phone or Zoom Consultation - You will talk to one of our head Wedding Decorators directly to discuss mainly design ideas. For general questions, contact Wedding Team directly for faster response. When you schedule a Phone or Zoom Consultation, you can share any inspiration cake designs (or you can email it ahead of time) and address any questions. This is an ideal option if traveling is limited in your schedule. This is also a recommended step if you've already emailed us your inspiration design and have further questions or concerns. We recommend you've already tasted our cakes before your consultation and have a general idea on which cake flavor you like prior to the Phone or Zoom consultation.

Our In-Person Tasting and Consultation is back! We are thrilled to see our couples in person again. Appointments are available at our Watsonville and Monterey locations. Our Tasting & Consultations are prepared with 2-3 people in mind. It usually lasts about 45min - where we'll sample all 12 of our wedding cake flavors and discuss your cake design and vision. In addition, we go over any logistic details. In-person consultations are $50 (+$10 with dessert samples), which a one-time credit will be applied to your final wedding cake order. If you need cake samples for more than 3 guests at the tasting, please email us to order additional tasting plate/s. If you need to cancel or reschedule, 48hr advance notice is required for refund. Unfortunately, if you are contacting us outside the policy window, you will have to rebook a new appointment. No refunds on late changes and no-shows. We recommend you book your wedding cake no later than 3 to 4 months before your wedding date.
