Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered ...

• HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO PLACE AN ORDER?
For weddings, as soon as you have chosen your wedding date which is typically six months up to a year in advance.
popular dates will book up quickly at most reception venues and this is the same for The Lucky Cakery. I will only accept a certain number of orders per week so that I am able to give my full attention to each order. For your convenience I have a calendar with my current availability.

• HOW MUCH WILL MY CAKE COST?

There's no hard and fast answer to this question. All of my cakes are priced according to the number of servings required, choice of flavors and the level of detail within the design. The design consultation allows me to create a cake design that is unique, memorable, and delicious, while accommodating your budget. Please select the Pricing and Services Tab for more information.


• HOW DO I RESERVE MY WEDDING DATE IN ADVANCE?
To reserve a wedding date... I draw up an order contract which will need to be filled out completely, signed and returned with a Non-refundable Date Retainer Payment. The retainer will be applied towards your wedding order balance.

• WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

The Lucky Cakery Studio is located in Stephens City, VA and I service Virginia, West Virginia, DC, Maryland and surrounding areas.


• DO YOU DELIVER?

YES- In-fact I hand-deliver all wedding cakes and the cost of delivery is included in the final cake quote. I want this experience to be as stress-free and seamless as possible.


• CAN I CHOOSE MORE THAN ONE CAKE FLAVOR?

YES - Generally speaking all wedding cakes include the option for two premium cake flavors; giving you and your guests different options. Additional cake flavors can be added with the addition of tiers for a small surcharge.


• ARE YOU INSURED?

The Lucky Cakery is fully licensed and insured; giving you peace of mind on your wedding day.


• CAN I ORDER A FAKE CAKE?

YES - I do create fake (faux) cakes for our wedding clients, however, please be advised that faux cakes are not available as a cost-saving measure. Faux cakes take just as much time, care, attention, and materials as our real cakes. The cost differential is minimal.  


• CAN WE RENT CAKE STANDS?

YES- I have a number of beautiful stands available to rent. To rent a cake stand you must pay a refundable deposit and a rental fee.

Please inquire directly for more details.


• DO YOU MAKE VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE AND ALLERGEN FREE CAKES?

NO - My cakery is not certified to be nut/gluten free or vegan, therefore I am not able to offer those types of cakes. 


• DO YOU CREATE BIRTHDAY and OTHER EVENT CAKES? 

YES - I happily offer groom's, birthday and special event cakes.


• DO YOU FREEZE YOUR CAKES?

ABSOLUTELY NOT - All the cakes that are made by The Lucky Cakery are baked fresh for your event.

I bake at the last possible moment to ensure that the cake you receive is fresh, moist, and delicious.

If you are saving your "top tier" for your anniversary, you may freeze the cake. Any leftover cake from your event should be refrigerated.


• CAN WE USE FRESH FLOWERS?

YES - absolutely! The Non-Toxic Fresh Flowers should be supplied by your florist.

I am happy to make them food safe and provide fresh-flower posies for a surcharge.
