Frequently asked questions

Here you'll find answers to some of your questions and an introduction to our standards of service.  

Our Cakes

All of our cakes are flavored pound cake: rich, moist and dense with a minimal filling to cake ratio.

Because the majority of our designs are sculpted cakes, they wouldn’t be as structurally sound with lots of cream filling. However, this does not compromise the well-balanced and satisfying flavor of our cakes.

All of our fondant-covered cakes have a layer of chocolate ganache between the cake and the fondant. You’re welcome to choose between dark or white chocolate ganache.

Booking

Because we are a boutique bakery, we take a limited number of orders per week.  

To secure our services for your date, you must pay a 50% non-refundable retainer, and return a signed contract.  

The remainder of your balance is due 4 weeks prior to delivery for wedding orders, and two weeks for all other orders.  

After these deadlines, orders are subject to cancellation.

We can occasionally accommodate some rush orders; however, please book your date at your earliest availability.

Pricing

We carefully curate each dessert to the celebrant's preferences and needs.  This takes into consideration the number of servings, time, intricacies of design, and flavor profiles.  

Our buttercreme cakes begin at $7.00 per serving, and fondant cakes begin at $8.00 per serving. 

Wedding cakes require a $1000 minimum order.  Our novelty cakes and celebration cakes require a minimum $750 order.

Display stands are also available for rental.

delivery

Delivery and setup are required for all wedding cakes, and most celebration cakes over 2-tiers.   We partner with Attyre to deliver your edible art.

If your cake does not require delivery, arrangements must be finalized 48 hours prior to pickup.  Pickup is available at either 8am or 6pm on your scheduled date, with a 20 minute window for pickup.

Once your order has left possession of Zuckerie or our partners, we are not liable for any damages that may occur; however, we will try our best to assist you with repairs if possible.

Tastings

Seasonal tasting consultations are held in-person and virtually, typically once per quarter. A tasting box will either be at the tasting event or be prepared for you to pickup and a subsequent consultation time will be scheduled for a video meeting to discuss your preferences.

Tastings are $60.  If you require shipping or delivery, there will be an additional fee.

During this time, feel free to share your event theme, design elements, and any other details you want incorporated.

Inspiration Images

Your dessert will be a one-of-a-kind piece of edible art. It will personify your vision and marry your design ideas with our aesthetic and sugar artistry. As such, we welcome you to share inspirations images with us to influence your design. Final design decisions are at the artists creative discretion.

Please visit the design gallery to view some of our creations.

Custom renderings may be requested.  These images will be released after a retainer and signed contract have been received.
