How soon should I book?

I’m taking orders for 2024 and beyond!

For custom treats, we regularly book 8-10 weeks in advance! In general, we tell people, “There’s no such thing as too early to book!” Also, keep in mind, we make everything from scratch, no tub of fillings to be found here! So, quality takes time.

If your order is for 2024, just email Mama here. If it’s before then… I’m happy to share a list of other bakeries around town that can help while I recover!

Do you offer GF/DF/Vegan options?

Yes! Most cakes/frostings can be GF/DF/Vegan.

We also currently able to offer vegan/GF lemon bars and GF cookies & GF cheesecake. We are always working on updating our menu for additional offerings so feel free to email us and find out what else is available.

However, please note that we do regularly work with gluten/dairy so while we take every precaution to avoid cross-contamination, we cannot eliminate it entirely. We are happy to recommend a GF/DF exclusive bakery if your needs require instead.

How much cake do I need?

There are so many ways to slice a cake. A three layer 6” cake serves a range of 8-12. We suggest a middle range of 10 people. (Other size options are available here) But can you slice it thinner and make more servings?! YES! Can you cut the slices bigger and serve fewer, Yup.

It’s your cake. No judgment. Eat up. Deliciousness awaits!

 

What about a dessert bar?

So glad you asked! Mini desserts are amazing because that means you get to try a bite of everything! The general rule of thumb is 2-5 servings/bites per person. Again, we trend to the middle and suggest 3 servings per person. So, if you are planning 50 people, you need at least 150 desserts. Check out our menu here to start drooling and shopping!


Any favorite combos?

Chocolate always goes beautifully with strawberry or raspberry. You can always add ganache for a chocolate/chocolate cake. Vanilla is lovely with berries, lemon, passionfruit…. it’s a classic for a reason and goes with everything. Marble cake? Try raspberry… or Mama’s favorite of salted caramel & ganache.

We can also customize your treats based on buttercream! Do you like milk chocolate, sweeter treats - Mama’s Buttercream is likely for you! Do you prefer dark/black coffee, not so sweet - try Italian Meringue!

Macarons

Can I order them for pick up today?

All of our macarons are custom ordered. So we generally don’t have any on hand. However! Watch for our flash sales on IG and FB. It doesn’t hurt to call and ask!

How do you store macarons?

Ideally, they are stored in a sealed container for up to a week in the fridge. You can also put them in the freezer for up to a month so you have a treat whenever you’d like (if they last that long)!

Do you make vegan macarons?

Not yet… it’s on the list! Mama made them a few years ago and they died a horrible death. We’ve made a gazzlion macs since then, so it’s possible it’ll work. But… just haven’t had a chance, yet.

 Cupcakes

 How many cupcakes do I need for a cupcake bar?

The rule of thumb for a cupcake bar is 1.5 per person, funny right? Some people will eat one.. others will eat 2, so shoot for the middle. 50 people coming to the event? Order at least 6 dozen cupcakes.

How many flavors of cupcakes can I order?

One flavor per dozen, please! Everything is custom made just for you!
