ORDER INFORMATION

Making your sweet dreams a reality is labor intensive endeavor that requires great skill. We invest several hours or even days of work to have your cakes, chocolates, or cookies specially designed, crafted, and baked just like you want them. At Sweet Novelette, we understand that cakes are special and contribute to the overall success of your event and must, therefore, be made perfect and in good time. It is for this reason that we require our customers to place orders for novelty and wedding cakes one (1) to two (2) months before their event.

Making your order in advance ensures that we have ample time to schedule and work on it, personalizing it inside and out. We value each and every one of our customer and appreciate our limited production schedule. For this reason, we work on orders on first come, first serve basis.

We also appreciate that sometimes placing an advance order isn’t an option. This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a unique, custom made cake that will impress your sophisticated guests. We accommodate rush orders subject to the existence of an opening in our schedule. Please call or email to inquire about openings for rush orders.

CUSTOM ORDERS

Feel free to provide pictures of or links to relevant objects, overall structure, color scheme and other references to your preferred cake design. This will go a long way in helping us understand your special requirements. If you provide reference for your cake, we will do our best to apply the same concept, albeit with our own touch. We, therefore, do not guarantee that we will replicate such references 100%.

BASIC PRICING FOR NOVELTY CAKES AND WEDDING CAKES

It’s impossible to offer a hard-and-fast price for all cakes since each cake incorporates so many variables. When pricing our cakes, we take into account the number of servings as well as the complexity of diverse design elements. Sometimes a smaller cake may take longer to create than a larger one and, therefore, will be priced higher per slice. The list below gives a general guideline on how our cakes are priced.

NOVELTY/SCULPTED CAKES ARE PRICED AT A MINIMUM OF $180

Our cake prices are determined by weight (in kilos), labor ($25/HR), and materials ($15 min.) used to create your cake.

  • 2.00 KG Approx. 10 Servings $10/ kilo
  • 3.00 KG Approx. 20 Servings $10/ kilo
  • 5.00 KG Approx. 40 Servings $15/ kilo
  • 8.00 KG Approx. 70 Servings $15/ kilo
  • Wedding cakes are priced at $500 and above

Sweet novelette wedding cake prices are determined by the number of guests attending your reception. For a minimum of 50 guests, the cake is priced at $10/slice at the least
