Before I get into this, I want to say that if I ever feel like I canāt create the cake or dessert youāre asking for, I will always be upfront about it. I never want to disappoint anyone or promise something I canāt deliver.
I also wanted to explain something that many people may not realize when it comes to custom cakes and dessertsā¦.youāre paying for much more than just the ingredients.
Custom cakes take hours of planning, baking, decorating, color matching, troubleshooting, and detail work. Ingredients alone are not cheap, but beyond that, youāre also paying for time, skill, creativity, experience, and the fact that everything is handmade from scratch.
Iām also aware that my pricing is still on the lower side compared to many others, because Iām continually learning, improving, and growing my skills. But even so, custom work is incredibly time consuming and labor intensive.
Another thing to remember: inspiration photos are helpful, but no cake artist should be expected to copy another artistās work exactly. I will tell you I will do similar, but not exact. We can absolutely use inspiration photos for style, theme, color palette, or overall vibe, but every decorator has their own techniques, strengths, and creative touch. And especially AI-generated cakes that often arenāt even realistic or physically possible to recreate in real life. Yes, some can be recreated, but that AI image will be flawless and a real cake probably wonāt be flawless. They are inspiration, not reality. AI cakes often ignore gravity, structure, spacing, proportions, support systems, serving sizes, texture limitations, and what buttercream/fondant can actually do in real life. A lot of cakes you see anymore on Pinterest are AI. So if you see a cake you like, remember thatās inspiration.
I truly appreciate every single person who supports my small business, trusts me with their orders, and values the work that goes into creating something custom and handmade. So thank you.ā¤ļø
Just a couple cakes made for my babies in the past š„°
