Here, you will be able to obtain more detailed information about our work, such as cake sizes, fillings and decoration techniques. Our cakes are made from scratch and are moistened. We don't use buttercream as a filling, but rather our fillings are a cream from condensed milk. They are so delicious!

Please carefully read the topics below to choose the cake that will best accommodate your expectations and style. If you have a design that you like then you can send the picture to us, but note that we don't make copies. Therefore, if you want something specific, please ask us if it is possible.

Remember the reservation of the date is only valid with initial payment so don't leave it to the last minute.

SIZE AND FAUX

The sizes of our cakes are: 6 in, 8 in, 10 in and 12 in. All are round. 

Our suggestion regarding the number of slices, for regular cake (around 4.5 inches tall) is:

  • 6 in: 10 - 12 slices
  • 8 in: 15 - 22 slices
  • 10 in:  32 - 38 slices
  • 12 in:  50 - 55 slices

For TALL cakes our suggestion regarding the number of slices is:

  • 6X6 in – 18 slices
  • 8X6 in – 30 slices

With tiered cakes, the sizes vary. The smallest size, for a 2-tier cake, serves up to 30 slices.

We work with decoration in faux cakes, which are Styrofoam cakes, covered by decorations chosen by the customer. These cakes allow us to build a multi-story structure, even if only one tier is edible. 

FLAVORS

Sponge

Doughs used for decorated cakes are: white or vanilla, chocolate and red velvet.

FILLINGS

We offer a variety of fillings listed in the table below. It is very important to note that the variety of fillings in the same cake and cake type can change the budget amount. So it is important that you have a defined, final and accurate quote for your cake. Remember we don’t use buttercream as a filling!

Our flavors can be:

  • Vanilla cream
  • Chocolate
  • Dulce de leche (with or without pineapple or coconut)
  • Coconut cream
  • Pineapple cream (with or without coconut)
  • Walnuts
  • Peanuts
  • Strawberry jam with cream

FONDANT

This technique consists of covering the cake with Fondant. However, because I work with the cake moistened, they don’t sacrifice texture and taste for aesthetics.

This technique is a little bit more expensive than buttercream.

Note: it is important to emphasize with our 3D decorations there might be some pieces outside the initial cake that even though covered with fondant, may contain inedible components to help its structure. If the customer prefers all edible pieces then they must contact us first to ensure that it is possible and within their budget.

Cake covered with fondant should NOT be kept in the fridge as it is a more heat resistant cake, but instead before the party it should be kept it in a cold room --  around 69/70 degrees Fahrenheit.

BUTTERCREAM

This technique consists of covering the cake with buttercream. The decorative components may be fondant, stationery work, or even natural decorations like flowers. The client should clarify which decorative model they prefer to receive an accurate quote.

This cake must be kept in the refrigerator until the time of the event and if there is additional care it can be used at outside parties. 

On cold days, the cake has to be out of the fridge for about 90 minutes before cutting as to make it more creamy.
