Planning A Special Event?
Baby Shower, Birthday, Bridal Shower? 

Well, you've come to the right place! At Sweet Confections Cakes, every cake is a custom cake and a true specialty product! 

1st rule to ordering specialty cakes:
You get what you pay for in the specialty cake business!
There are many other decorators doing cakes for much less than we do, but the ingredients, dedication, and attention to detail all suffer.  Many bakeries stay with the style they are comfortable with and don't venture out on a limb to try something new. We love trying new designs and being creative. We enjoy creating cakes that are certain to impress your guests! So, what are you waiting for? Let your cake be the talk of the party. Call us today. 

2nd rule :

Be confident in your baker's skills!  
When you order a cake from Sweet Confections Cakes, you are assured of:
Top quality and taste utilizing the finest ingredients
a warm and friendly expert to do business with
high-quality, skilled design artwork   

3rd and Lastly: 

If your bakery is quoting a price far below ours for the same exact cake... remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it's really too good to be true!  You get what you pay for.  The pricing should be considerably more similar for comparable cakes.  Make certain the bakery can handle what they promise you.  

Your cakes are expensive.

There are a few things that factor into the COST of our cakes. It might help you to know and understand when ordering a custom cake.


*When ordering a custom cake, it’s important to recognize what contributes to the cost. 

You're paying not just for ingredients, but also for the time, artistry, and expertise that go into creating a cake that looks great and tastes delicious. Our cakes are made in a licensed and insured facility by trained professionals, including award-winning cake artists.  We value fair wages for our skilled team, just as you deserve from your employer. 

*Our products are created using high-quality ingredients. High-quality ingredients cost top dollars, but it's what makes our products taste great. You are NOT getting a cake from an unlicensed cake baker unaware of food safety, nor are you getting a cake from a big box store or grocery store that often arrive frozen and pre-baked.  

 

*TIME & Skills - It takes, ON AVERAGE, about 10-12 (or more) hours to shop for, mix, bake, design, and decorate your custom EDIBLE ART show-piece, which will NO DOUBT be the FOCAL point at your event!  We undergo rigorous health department inspections, food safety training, and ongoing courses and seminars to create your custom item. 

The Art Behind the Craft

When you choose a custom cake, you aren't just ordering a dessert—you are collaborating with a skilled cake artist to create a unique piece of edible art for your celebration!

Because every design requires specialized training, meticulous attention to detail, and hours of hands-on labor, we price our creations fairly to reflect the expertise and time poured into them. We gently ask that our clients respect our pricing structure. Just as any professional expects to be compensated fairly for their hard work, our team relies on these rates to sustain their craft and keep pouring love into every tier.

Why Small Business Pricing is Different

It’s easy to look at mass-produced items in the world—like designer clothing or footwear—and wonder why a local, custom item costs what it does. The difference is that those items are made by the thousands in factories. Your cake, on the other hand, is handcrafted, customized to your exact flavors, and sculpted to match your unique vision. No one else in the world will have the exact same cake as you!

We love working with a variety of budgets, and if our initial design is a bit higher than you anticipated, we are always happy to discuss ways to simplify the design or adjust the servings to beautifully fit your comfort zone.
