Common questions

Before you ask.

  • How early should I book?

    Cakes need three weeks. Wedding catering needs ten weeks in summer. Holiday gifting books up by mid-November every year.

  • Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

    Dairy-free sorbets are always an option. Gluten-free cakes are made-to-order with a different cake layer; please mention it when you book. We do not work in a nut-free kitchen.

  • Do you ship cakes?

    We do not ship. Cakes are picked up at the shop or delivered locally within thirty minutes of Almonte for a flat fee. Wedding catering travels further.

  • What does it cost?

    Cakes start at $58. Wedding catering quotes by guest count and runs from $9 to $14 per person depending on flavours and service style. Corporate gifting starts at $42 per box.

Tell us what you are planning.

Email the events team with the date, headcount, and a rough idea of what you have in mind. We will come back with a quote and the flavours we have available that week.
