Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule a consultation?
Start by filling out our inquiry form on the "Contact" page. Please provide as much detail as possible. Once your form is submitted, we will review and contact you shortly after. Note: We can schedule a year in advance for weddings and major events (your venue must be booked prior to a tasting). All details must be confirmed 2months prior to your event. We offer weekend and evening Zoom and phone appointments. Consultations are usually one hour long and will include cake designing, flavor selection, and discussing important details about your special day.
How do I schedule a tasting?
Once we reply to your inquiry form with our availability, you will be invited to either a virtual or in-person consultation. At that time, you will be offered a cake tasting box with your choice of 3 signature flavors. Tastings are complimentary for clients with a minimum spending of $1,800. Otherwise, the cost per box is $35.00 + shipping. The tasting box is deducted from the total cost of the wedding package if a contract is signed.
How do I secure services with Flour House Cakes & Co.?
In order for us to hold your event date, we require a signed contract and 50% nonrefundable retainer deposit for cake services at time of consultation and/or tasting. Final payment is due 1-month prior to your event.
Does the nonrefundable retainer deposit apply to my balance?
Yes, the retainer will be applied to your final balance.
How will my cake be priced?
Many details go into quoting a custom cake. The cost of your cake will be determined by the type of cake, finishing selected, flavorings and fillings, embellishments and number of servings required. We highly encourage all wedding clients to schedule a complimentary cake consultation and tasting to discuss details of your event and build a customized quote.
