Start with the celebration date
Your event date is the most important place to begin. Availability can vary, especially during busy celebration and wedding seasons, so it helps to reach out as soon as your plans begin taking shape.
Estimate how many people you will serve
An estimated guest count helps determine the appropriate cake size and number of tiers. It does not need to be exact during your first message, but a reasonable range is useful.
Describe the occasion and your ideas
Share the type of celebration, theme, preferred colors and any meaningful details you would like incorporated. If you are unsure about the final design, Kristen can help shape the direction with you.
Inspiration pictures, invitations, decorations and color samples can all help communicate the feeling you want. They are a starting point for a personalized design rather than something that must be copied exactly.
Think about flavors and fillings
You can review the available cake flavors, buttercreams, fillings and ganache options before reaching out. If you have a favorite combination—or need help choosing one—include that in your inquiry.
Send the essentials
A helpful first message includes your date, approximate guest count, occasion, design ideas and inspiration images. Kristen can then confirm availability, ask any follow-up questions and begin discussing the design and quote.
