Frequently asked

For weddings and larger cultural celebrations we ask for four to six months. For birthdays and corporate events, four to six weeks is usually plenty. If you're closer than that, still reach out — we hold two urgent slots per month for late-notice consultations.

Yes. We take a 30% deposit to hold your date. The remainder is due seven days before the event.

A 45-minute conversation about your vision, a sketched direction with palette and flavor notes, and a written proposal within 48 hours. Consultations are free for the first meeting.

Yes — three flavor directions and two frosting profiles, plated in the studio or delivered as a tasting box within the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Included with wedding and cultural-celebration bookings, $85 otherwise.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and refined-sugar-free are all possible with notice. Every celebration is different — tell us about your guests during the consultation and we'll route around it.

Regularly. We work with grandmothers, aunties, and family archives to build cakes rooted in Ivorian, Ghanaian, Senegalese, Nigerian, and Cameroonian traditions. If your family has a recipe, we'll learn it.

By exception, and with a travel fee based on distance and cake structure. Weddings up to two hours away are on the table; contact us early with the venue address.

Our delivery captain assembles on your cake table, adjusts to lighting and floral cues in the room, and photographs the final piece before handing it to your event lead. That final walk-through takes 15–20 minutes.
