FAQS

I can make a recommendation on this once you have provided information on the number of servings required, and whether the cake is meant to be dessert or served alongside other food or dessert.

I plan to make tasting boxes a few times a year, likely in February, May, and September, although that may change. If you are interested in receiving a tasting box please contact me for more information or to be added to the list. Please be aware that couples getting married will receive priority for these boxes.

I can make gluten-free cakes. However please be aware that I use ingredients containing gluten in the same space so I cannot guarantee there has not been cross-contamination. I can make dairy-free cakes. However, at present, my buttercream is made using real butter. I have not found a substitute I am satisfied with as of yet. Currently, I have no vegan options. It is something I hope to offer in the future though!

I design cakes based themes, colours, florals, and other special requests from you. You are welcome to send photos for inspiration, but I will not copy another cake artist’s work. I have chosen not to work with fondant at this time as it is not something I enjoy.

I do make kids cakes! However, as stated above I do not work with fondant, nor will I create or sculpt copyrighted characters or other figurines. I am happy to use colours, etc., based on specific themes, adding plastic figurines to the cake to suit. If you have questions regarding a kid’s cake, please contact me and we can discuss if it is something suited to my style of design.

The more notice given, the likelier I will be able to accommodate. I have a maximum number of orders I am willing to take for any given day. Generally, 2-3 weeks is sufficient, but if you know the date of your event months ahead of time I am happy to book your order then. If you are interested in a wedding cake, I will accept bookings 12 months in advance.

To secure an order I require a 50% deposit. I will not consider an order officially booked until the deposit is received. The remaining payment can be made any time prior to pick up. As I am a home-based business pick up times must be arranged in advance. Delivery is available in the Medicine Hat area for an additional fee. To secure a wedding cake order, a $100 deposit is required. I will not consider your wedding date officially booked until the deposit is received. The remaining payment is due at least 1 week prior to your event. Delivery options will be discussed as we plan your cake. At this time payments can be made with cash or by e-transfer to sara@thesweetnessbakeshop.com.
