Commonly Asked Questions
When is the best time to order my wedding cake?
The sooner the better! As soon as you have a date and a reception location established, you may schedule a tasting with our wedding coordinator. The date is reserved with a $50.00 deposit and the price of the cake is guaranteed at contract signing. All orders must be finalized and paid in full no later than 2 weeks prior to your wedding date.
Can I get different batters with each tier?
We are happy to alternate the batters and filings in your cake for no additional fee, but it can complicate the serving of the cake. If you decide to do multiple flavors, you may want to consider using a dessert table instead of serving the cake so the guests may choose the flavor they prefer.
Do you incorporate colored icing into your cakes?
We recommend using fresh flowers or bow/ribbon accents to highlight your bridal party colors. However, if you provide a swatch we will match your color as close as possible. Keep in mind that the cake is usually photographed with only the bride and groom, so the bridal party colors are not a significant factor when choosing your cake.
Is it more cost efficient to have a smaller cake for decoration, and serve undecorated cakes to the guests?
Although this option is less costly, the beauty, majesty and overall visual impact of a towering bridal cake is compromised. We recommend ordering a cake large enough to serve all of your guests.
Should I bring my ornament(s) to the bakery before the wedding?
Because certain ornaments or figurines are too tall or heavy for the cake, We will need to see what you have in mind. You will be responsible to bring them to the bakery two weeks prior to the wedding.
Will you have the cake there for my florist?
We are happy to coordinate with your florist. They may want to discuss placement of the flowers on the cake and also the set up time. If we do not hear from your florist, we will contact them the week of your wedding to discuss the details pertaining to your cake.
When do I need to have my cake paid in full?
Complete payment is required at least 2 weeks prior to your wedding date.
How long do you guarantee your pricing for?
Price is guaranteed at contract signing.
Delivery Information
Is there a delivery charge?
Yes, there is a delivery charge. Our delivery charges are based on mileage and our typical delivery radius is within 30 miles of the bakery. At Oakmont Bakery only professional decorators handle our cakes - from initial order to final delivery and set up. This ensures a flawless, perfectly elegant presentation of your custom wedding cake.
What time will the cake be delivered?
Reception halls generally have a time slot for delivery. Some are accessible most of the day, while others have more restricted slots. We schedule our deliveries accordingly and try our best to accommodate everyone involved.
Do you deliver the wedding cookies too?
Absolutely! We are happy to deliver your wedding cookies along with your cake at no additional charge. However, some reception halls require that the cookies be brought in the day before the wedding or early in the morning. In this case, you will be responsible to pick the cookies up at the bakery. Click here to learn more about our wedding cookies.
After the Wedding
What should I do with my top tier after the wedding?
We supply a box for you to transport the top tier home after the wedding. As soon as possible, remove the cake from the box; place it in an airtight container and freeze. With proper packaging, the cake should retain its flavor and serve as the perfect dessert for your first anniversary dinner!
When do I return the items or stands used to assemble my cake?
The type of cake you order determines whether you will need to return anything. A refundable deposit, if applicable, will be stated on your contract. We hold a deposit based on the retail value of the items used to assemble your cake. We appreciate the return of these items within 3 days following the wedding.
I just want to thank and praise your bakery for the delicious wedding cake that you delivered to the Heinz Center for Kirsten and James’ wedding. The detail on the cake reflected their decoration wishes to the “T”. It was elegant and the flower creation on top was exquisite. The cake itself was moist and the filling and frosting couldn’t have been more flavorful. We could realize the work and effort that goes in to creating this cake. Many thanks to all involved.
Sincerely,
Bonnie
