Fondant
The extremely smooth icing that can be rolled and draped over a cake. It gives the cake a professional appearance, keeps the cake moist longer, and provides a distinctive flavor and texture. Underneath the fondant, you will have the buttercream or icing of your choice. The possibilities with fondant are endless. I primarily use fondant on the cakes.

Marzipan
An almond and sugar paste used to ice cakes or sculpt decorations. It has the consistency of dough and can be rolled, shaped, cut or molded. It has a sweet, nutty flavor.

Classic Buttercream Icing
The most common and well known of icings. It is made of a few simple ingredients-butter, confectioner’s sugar, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

Swiss Meringue Buttercream
A light and versatile frosting made from egg white, sugar, butter and extract.

Royal Icing
Made with confectioners' sugar, egg whites, flavoring, and water. This icing hardens when it dries which is useful when adhering decorations together.

Ganache
A filling/icing that is made with chopped chocolate and boiling heavy cream.

How far in advance do I need to place my order?
I can often be booked a couple of weeks ahead, so the sooner you place your order the better. At the very least, I typically need 3-5 days to start on the preparation work. Rush orders may have additional fees.

How should I place an order?
I take orders via phone, email or appointment. I always try to encourage my clients to set up a meeting to discuss the fine details that go into their cake. This ensures better communication and confidence for the event since the cakes are customized to fit your every need. However, I know everyone keeps a busy schedule, so orders over the phone and email work too.

How much do Smitten Cakes cost?
There is not a direct answer to that question unfortunately. Each Smitten Cake is designed and decorated for your special event so I do not have a fixed price. Smitten Cakes are unique and customized with many hours of love put into them! I charge by the serving and it can range anywhere from $4 - $7 per serving depending on the difficulty of the cake. I do have a minimum order of $75. If you want a quote for a cake, please call or email me for more information.

Do you offer tastings?
I do offer tastings for any event over 75 people. There is a $30 fee for the tasting which includes three flavors of your choice. If you choose Smitten Cakes to do your event, the $30 fee will go towards the final price of the order.

What is your pricing policy?
If the event will require 50 servings or more, I require full payment a week prior to the event with a $50 deposit at the time of booking to reserve the date. If at anytime the event is cancelled your deposit will not be refunded to you. If the cake is less than 50 servings, payments can be made at the time of the pick up/delivery.

Do you deliver?
Delivery is available to the Lubbock area and surrounding towns. The delivery fee starts at $7 and will go up depending on the miles traveled.

What are the hours of service?
I am currently available by appointment only, but you can reach my cell phone at any time, morning or late.
