Ordering Information

Hi,

I am so happy you are interested in my cakes. I love making them. Below is all of my general information. All of the prices are subject to change at any time, but you are locked in once you have paid the deposit. If you can not find what you need listed, just let me know and we can work together to come up with exactly what you need. To order, email me at hopessweetcakes@gmail.som. You can also see more of my work on facebook  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hopes-Sweet-Cakes/150998641585289?ref=hl.

Transport: I am bringing this up first because it seems to be the last thing we think about, but it is extremely important. It does not matter how beautiful the cake is if it doesn’t make it to the party in one piece! You have two options…you can pick the cake up  in Helena or I can deliver the cake to you for a fee (fees start at $15 and go up depending on distance). If you choose to pick the cake up, be sure you have a flat surface large enough to hold the cake…car seats or the lap of a friend will not work.  Cakes do have to be refrigerated until the closest time to the party as possible.  The colder the better!

Payment: I will not accept a check unless I will receive it in enough advance time for it to clear the bank. Money orders are always a great option.  Upon delivery or pickup, payments must be made in cash.Your date is not booked or guaranteed available until I have received a 50% deposit.

Specialty Fondant Cakes

Each tier is three layers of cake….about 5 to 6 inches high.  I use butter cream icing to fill and crumb coat the cake and then cover it in yummy marshmallow fondant. All of my icing and fondant are homemade.

Price

The prices listed below are completely subjective. All cakes are not created equal. The same size cake with different designs would require completely different amounts of material and time to create. These prices are the jumping off point. If you have a budget you would like to stick to, just let me know and we can design a cake that will fit within that price range.

Sculptural Cakes

All sculptural cakes will need to be accessed and quoted.  It will be priced based on size needed. Most 3D trains (engine plus 2 cars), firetrucks, pirate ships(includes flags and one pirate) and castles will start at $200.

Figures

My hand sculpted figures start at $20 each.  The fondant figures will dry very hard after a few days and can be kept as a little memento of the occasion.

Toppers such as large ribbon bows, 3D names, and wired art start at $15.

Cupcakes

Simple buttercream designs are $1.50 each. This includes two colors of buttercream to coordinate with your party.

Detailed designs such as grass are $1.75 each…this works perfect if you plan to add a small plastic goodie to the top as a gift for the party guests.

Fondant details….well…it all just depends.  Most will start at $1.75 to $2.50 but could be more depending on the amount of detail.

Mini Cupcakes are $.50 each for simple buttercream designs and $.75 each with a fondant detail.

Having trouble deciding what size to get? I always say go bigger than you think you need. The cake is often the center piece of the party. So, don’t think of it as how much cake you need, think of it as  how big of a show stopper do you want!

***I ask that you pay a 50% deposit to book the date..  The deposit is non-refundable at two weeks prior to the date of the event and can not be transferred or held for a later date. You can mail that deposit to me at 413 Bentmoor Way Helena, AL 35080.  Your date is not booked until I have received the deposit!***

Smash Cakes

If it is for a child’s first birthday, I also make 6 inch 2 layer smash cakes to compliment or mimic the “big cake”.  Smash cakes are covered in butter cream instead of fondant for that nice squishy feeling.  ($35) I would be happy to  include a complimentary smash cupcake if you choose not to purchase a smash cake.
