Please be sure to read all of the following information to avoid delay in processing your request. This form is used for custom cake and signature cupcake inquiries only. We specialize in wedding, glam, and abstract art cakes; please review our Instagram to get a sense of our design style and ensure it fits your needs, prior to submitting an inquiry.
Orders will be confirmed via email and payment will be requested in the form of an invoice (via PayPal). Please be prepared to answer the following questions: 1. When is the date of your event? (a minimum of 4-6 weeks is required; your date will be verified based on current bookings) 2. How many people will the cake feed? 3. Do you have any inspiration pictures or ideas for your cake? If so, please email them to order@elevationcake.com 4. Do you want fondant covered cake, or buttercream with fondant decorations? Most cakes need not be covered in fondant as we specialize in smooth buttercream with fondant decorations.
What is a custom cake? Any themed cake that is above and beyond the call of regular cake. This may include fondant pieces, abstract structures, florals, or attention to detail that is unlike your traditional bakery style cake. Bakery style cakes are only offered during promotions, unless the request meets the order minimum below.
If you are requesting a wedding cake quote, please also include the following information: 6. Are you saving the top tier? 7. What type of cake-topper will you have? 8. Will you need to rent a cake stand? (We currently do not offer this service at this time)
Order Minimum: $125
