How do I schedule a tasting?
Simply complete the tasting and consultation form and we will contact you to schedule a tasting at our tasting studio in Delray Beach. Or call directly at:
954-571-CAKE (2253).
What is involved in the tasting process?
Our onsite tasting and consultations include everything you will need to begin your design process.
The following guidelines will help to make the consultation a fun and productive one for all parties:
1. Our tasting is the first step in our personalized service suited for the host, as well as key family members or friends. Allow a minimum of one hour. SugarChef Jennifer personally attends every consultation with hand-selected samples and designs suited for your occasion.
2. Do your research! Take a little time to think about what you would like for your perfect cake. Take a look at our Gallery and on other websites and publications to get ideas for your theme, colors, etc. Bring them along to our meeting so that we can discuss the elements that will encompass your perfect cake.
3. Bring all decision makers! Whether it is your fiance, mother, maid of honor, children, neighbor, or coworker, make sure you have your sounding board with you. Otherwise you may find that you want the opinion(s) of people who are not in attendance, which can potentially hamper decisions that are made at the consultation. Besides, the experience is more fun when you can share it with your important people.
4. Two complimentary cake and filling flavors of your choice are provided. Additional flavors are available for $5 each. Once favorite flavors are identified by the host and guests, Chef Jennifer reviews her process of creating each work of art, and walks you through broad and intricate detail planning while answering all of your questions.
5. Think you may be ready to make a deposit? Bring your checkbook. Sugar Chef creates only a limited number of wedding cakes each week, and a 50% nonrefundable deposit will reserve your date.
Can SugarChef create custom flavors for my cake?
It is our pleasure! Our most popular and classic flavors are available, or Chef Jennifer Ladisky can create any flavor your past experience or imagination requires.
Does SugarChef ship cakes?
Due to the delicate nature of cakes and fillings, as well as intricate craftsmanship dedicated to every cake, SugarChef creations are available only via hand-delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the Questions on the Tip of Your Tongue
Why do SugarChef creations cost more than most grocery bakeries?
Every SugarChef cake and dessert is hand-crafted specifically for the host and event for which it is ordered, exclusively by chef/owner Jennifer Ladisky. SugarChef uses only the finest ingredients, as well as time-honed techniques perfected over nearly two decades. SugarChef’s goal is to achieve the best value for every client by over-delivering on the promise of a customized masterpiece for their special event. See our pricing.
Can you work within dietary restrictions/food allergies?
Absolutely! Chef will review applicable restrictions with you during your design consultation, and determine the perfect recipe substitutions with you prior to order.
Can I provide my own personal recipe?
Chef will review all requests prior to or during a tasting and consultation; however, it is unlikely that we can duplicate a recipe exactly due to scaling and ingredient differences.
Can you use fresh flowers to coordinate with my display?
Yes! Your florist will be accustomed to providing extra flowers upon request to decorate your cake display. Note that many florists will include an additional charge for the decorative flowers.
What is your cancellation policy?
SugarChef requires a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time an event date is secured. In the event of cancellation, SugarChef will apply the deposit payment toward a rescheduled event within six months of the original date. Due to the custom nature of SugarChef’s creations, we schedule a limited number of events each year. Any events cancelled within 30 days of the event will require a 25% cancellation fee in addition to the deposit.
What are your accepted methods of payment?
Cash or check.
Can you recreate a cake by another bakery or designer?
Inspiration for cakes comes from many different places, and SugarChef is happy to design from sketches, magazine clippings, books or any other source.
Can you create adult-themed cakes?
Yes! SugarChef can create cakes to complement every event theme, whether formal, casual fun or something in-between.
Does the complexity of the design affect the price?
Cake cost is factored by the time required to bring the design to life.
What are the Dreamkeeper figurines made of?
Dreamkeeper figurines are non-edible permanent keepsakes commemorating your special guest of honor or the celebrated couple. The figurines are created by hand out of polymer clay. Polymer clay is an inedible, non-toxic, pliable plasticine compound that is baked in the oven after sculpting to become strong and durable. The figurines and any painting used are non-toxic.
