How much do your cakes cost?
Great question, and one that can be really hard to answer. Every cake is custom made to each event. While some cakes are similar, you will never see Emily repeat the same cake twice. Some smaller cakes may take longer to decorate than a larger one and therefore be a higher price per serving. Base price for buttercream cakes start at $4 per serving and fondant at $5 per serving. For example, if you have 100 people to feed and want a fondant cake, your starting price is $500. Any additional accents, flowers, gum paste, characters will increase the price. Email Emily with the details of your event for a custom quote!
How much do your cookies cost?
Cookies start at $42 per dozen with a two dozen minimum. Price goes up based upon degree of difficulty and complexity.
Do you make sheet cakes?
No
How far in advance should I place my order?
If you know the date of your event, its never too early to contact Emily (Unless you’re getting married in 15 years). Because we are a very small shop we are limited to how much work we will take on in a week. We also strive to give each order the attention it deserves. One week minimum is required on all cake orders if availability allows. Generally we recommend 2-3 months for birthdays and 6-8 months notice for weddings.
How do I place an order?
To start an order inquiry, send an email to emily@emilywheelercustomcakes.com. Be sure to include the date of your event, guest count, photos and budget. The more information, the better. ALL ORDERS must be submitted through email.
Are you nut free?
No. We keep peanuts and tree nuts on the shelves.
Do you bake gluten free, sugar free, eggless, vegan desserts?
Not at this time
Do you deliver? Will you ship to my house?
Due to Kentucky cottage food laws, we are not allowed to ship orders. We are available for local delivery or pick up only. We are located in the heart of Louisville, KY.
When can I come do a tasting?
Emily is a certified home baker in the state of Kentucky. Which means everything is done at home. No store front or bakery location. However, if you’d like to set up a tasting, or coffee consultation, please email Emily and something can be arranged. While we try to accommodate schedules, tastings are typically scheduled for Monday and Tuesday evenings.
