Maureen Steel made her first wedding cake for her own wedding celebration in 1996. "I'll be honest, I didn't want to settle for a grocery store cake. They were just not special enough for our big day, she explains". This endeavor brought curiosity and a new interest for mastering techniques in the world of cake design.

How long does it take you to make a wedding cake? It generally takes 3 days for a simple design. 2-3 days before the event, I bake all the cakes. They are cooled and placed in the fridge. The day before the event, the cakes are then leveled, filled and iced, then placed back in the fridge over night. The day of the event the cakes are covered with fondant, and design work is completed and then is delivered. Beginning to end, roughly 8-10 hours on average.
I noticed you have some really pretty cake stands. Do you rent those out? Yes, for a small fee. A security deposit is also required at time of pick up and is given back when all items come back in original condition. *Note: If you are purchasing a cake there is NO fee for the use of my stands or candle stick holders. But again a fully refundable security deposit is required.15eb. 15, 2020
