When is the best time to order my wedding cake? The sooner the better! Some designs require extra time, making it necessary for us to allow a limited amount of orders per date. As soon as you have a date and reception location established, you may order your cake with a $50 nonrefundable deposit. All orders must be finalized and paid in full no later than 2 weeks prior to your wedding date.

May I sample cake batters and fillings? We encourage you to sample our batters, fillings (and cookies) once you have secured your date with a deposit. We provide a 6” single layer cake sample and a dozen cookies at no extra charge. Additional cake samples may be ordered for $3.00 each. Please give us a day's notice to prepare your sample(s).

Can I get different batters with each tier? Although we are happy to vary the flavor of your tiers, we have found that it can become complicated when serving your guests to give them the batter they prefer. We suggest that the bride choose one batter for the entire cake or use a dessert table instead of serving the cake so the guests may choose the flavor they prefer.

Do you incorporate colored icing into your cakes? We recommend using fresh flowers or bow/ribbon accents to highlight your bridal party colors. Because food coloring can stain teeth and clothing, we use it sparingly. Keep in mind that the cake is usually photographed with only the bride and groom, so the bridal party colors are not a significant factor when choosing your cake.

Will you cover my cake in rolled fondant? We love the smooth, trendy and very regal look of rolled fondant, and we do incorporate it into several of our styles. However, we cannot compromise the taste of your cake by covering it entirely with fondant. We are known for our delicious, signature butter cream frosting, and we make every effort to get it as smooth as possible to ensure an entirely elegant and beautiful result every time. (See the “Susan” cake in our photo gallery for an example of one of our most popular cakes featuring rolled fondant.)

Is it more cost efficient to have a smaller cake for decoration, and serve undecorated cakes to the guests? Although this option is less costly, the beauty, majesty and overall visual impact of a towering bridal cake is compromised. We recommend ordering a cake large enough to serve all of your guests.

Should I bring my ornament(s) to the bakery before the wedding? Because certain ornaments or figurines are too tall or heavy for the cake, we will need to see what you have in mind. If your item(s) have been purchased from us, they will be delivered with your cake. If not, you will be responsible to have them at the reception hall when the cake is delivered.

What should I do with my top tier after the wedding? We supply a box for you to transport the top tier home after the wedding. As soon as possible, remove the cake from the box; place it in an airtight container and freeze. With proper packaging, the cake should retain its flavor and serve as the perfect dessert for your first anniversary dinner!

Is there a delivery charge? At Oakmont Bakery only professional decorators handle our cakes - from initial order to final delivery and set up. This ensures a flawless, perfectly elegant presentation of your custom wedding cake. We deliver within a 15-20 mile radius, and charges generally range from $35.-$80.

What time will the cake be delivered? Reception halls generally have a time slot for delivery. Some are accessible most of the day, while others have more restricted slots. We schedule our deliveries accordingly and try our best to accommodate everyone involved.

Will you have the cake there for my florist? We are happy to coordinate with your florist. They may want to discuss placement of the flowers on the cake and also the set up time. If we do not hear from your florist we will contact them the week of your wedding to discuss the details pertaining to your cake.

Do you deliver the wedding cookies too? Absolutely! We are happy to deliver your wedding cookies along with your cake at no additional charge. However, some reception halls require that the cookies be brought in the day before the wedding or early in the morning. In this case, you will be responsible to pick the cookies up at the bakery.

When do I return the items or stands used to assemble my cake? We hold a deposit based on the retail value of the items used to assemble your cake. We appreciate the return of these items within 3 days of the wedding.
