BOOKINGS + PAYMENTS

Q: Do I need to put down a deposit in order to book?
A:  A Save The Date deposit is not mandatory, but is strongly encouraged for those interested in a Stylist Package (delivery, setup, and styling of desserts). This $250 deposit confirms your booking with us, and allows you to begin planning at your own pace. 

Q: Does the Save The Date deposit go towards my account?
A: Yes, the $250 Save the Date deposit will be converted into an online credit which can be applied to anything from your wedding cake to a full dessert table package or custom cookie favours. If you do not use all of your credit for your wedding, no worries it never expires! Use it towards your first anniversary cake, treats for your valentine, any birthday celebration or whatever your sweet tooth desires.

Q: What if I need to postpone or cancel my event?
A: Wedding orders can be cancelled or moved to a different date with a minimum of 4 weeks notice. Save the Date deposit of $250 is non-refundable but will remain as a credit in your online account. This credit will never expire and can be used to purchase anything from the Sweet Impressions website.

Q: How far in advance should I place my order?
A: Pre-orders can be placed online up to 3 months in advance.

A: We offer a variety of flavour options for our cakes, cupcakes and doughnuts. We also offer a variety of vegan flavours as well. View our Favourite Flavour Combinations.

Q: How do I sample your wedding menu?
A: To sample some our favourite menu items, order our Cake Tasting Box or our Dessert Table Tasting Box (also available Vegan). Tasting Boxes are $35. You may either pick up at our bakery + café 1817 Corydon Ave or we can delivery to your door for $15. Select your preferred option at checkout.

Q: What is a Signature Wedding Cake?
A: Our Signature Wedding Cake collection offers designs from trendy to modern that are decorated with luxe meringue buttercream that is silky smooth and not too sweet. Cakes are designed by you ‘a la carté’. Select your base design, size, flavour and flowers accents then add to your cart. Our custom heart cookie topper can be purchased separately for only $10.

Q: When is best to pick up my cake?
A: We suggest picking up your cake 1-3 days before your wedding and storing in a fridge. Cakes should be placed at room temperature 2-8 hours before serving. Please keep cakes out of direct sunlight and warmer temperatures. Care instruction will be provided.

Q: Do you make cakes with fondant, gum paste, or sugar flowers?
A: We do not work with fondant, gum paste, or sugar flowers. All of our cakes are finished with our delicate luxe meringue buttercream that is made from scratch and not too sweet. We design our cakes with fresh greenery, silk flowers and dried floral accents.

Q: Do you make custom cakes?
A: Sorry, we do not. In 2024, we launched our online Signature Wedding cake collection with 6 different base designs, 4 sizes (4″, 6″, 8″, 2 tier), 8 flavours options plus 4 seasonal flavours, and 4 accent floral options. We can make any of our cake designs in 3 and 4 tiers. Please email our wedding coordinator at weddings@sweetimpressions.ca for details.

Q: Do you use the same icing for cupcakes and signature cakes?
A: Our cupcakes are topped with our classic buttercream icing. Our Signature Wedding cakes are made with luxe meringue buttercream which is delicate and less sweet. Meringue buttercream holds textured designs and tiered structures best. Both are equally delicious!!!

Q: Do you make tiered vegan wedding cakes?
A: Sorry, we do not. All of our vegan wedding cakes are only available in 6″ and 8″ as the icing is very delicate and soft. We offer 4 different base designs, 2 sizes (6″, 8″), 6 flavours options plus 4 seasonal flavours, and 4 accent floral options. Our vegan icing is heat sensitive. Please keep refrigerated until putting on display 2-8 hours before serving. Please keep cakes out of direct sunlight and warmer temperatures. Care instruction will be provided.

Q: How do I build a Dessert Table for guests?
A: Select either the Wedding Dessert Table or the Vegan Dessert Table option to begin. We have set a intimate menu for both dessert tables for 30 guests but you can accommodate as many guests as you like by simply adding more of what you love to your package. We suggest 2-3 pieces per guest. The best part is you can personalize your cookie favours, the cookie toppers on your cupcakes and even your wedding cake. Add your names, love, i do, or any text you wish in one of our six fonts and 14 colour options

Q: How many dessert table servings should be ordered per guest?
A: We recommend 2-3 servings per guest. 

Q: Do cookie favours come individually packaged?
A: Yes, all of our custom sugar cookie favours include individual packaging. 

Q: Can I upload an image to a thank you cookie favour?
A: Yes, make it custom! Turn your engagement photo into your edible art or any photo or graphic you wish.

Q: Do you have cookie places cards?
A: Yes! It is our favourite way to let guests know where to sit and it doubles as their thank you favour all-in-one! Personalize each cookie with an individual name and corresponding table number. Select from 6 different fonts in 14 different colours. Each edible place card cookie is individually packaged.
