Selecting a cake….be sure to ask the right questions...
- Do you specialize in a certain flavor? ~ yes, Genoise. A French sponge cake used by all gourmet cooks for baking delicious cakes.
- Can you design a Wedding cake from a photograph? ~ yes, very likely, however, please provide a large, clear copy of your photo to determine cost and feasibility. Our signature cake designs are our specialty!
- Can you match the cake colors to fabric swatches or flowers? ~ yes, color matching is possible, but some deviation may occur. Please provide color swatches or flowers as soon as possible.
- Do you price by the slice or by the cake? Our Wedding cake prices are by the slice and vary depending upon your flavor, filling and icing. Special requests for elaborate piping may be an additional fee. Please ask Chef Dan. The top layer of your cake is not included in your guest count. A box will be provided for this cake to reserve for your 1st anniversary. Please ask Chef Dan how to wrap your Anniversary cake for best results in freezing. We have an 80 guest count minimum for our Wedding cakes.
- Will you charge for supporters or bases on the cake? Cake boards and supporters between the tiers are included in the cake price. Platters, stands, pillars, fountains, etc. are all additional items that can be rented for an additional deposit and rental fee.
- How far in advance must I book your services? Chef Dan highly recommends 90 days, however, a deposit of 20% guarantees availability for your wedding date if that date is not fully booked. All deposits are forfeited for cancellations 6 months prior to event. Balance and final guest count are due 2 weeks prior to your event. Rochester Deli books (3) wedding cakes maximum per Saturday to ensure special attention is given to your Wedding cake.
