Style of Cakes
All of our cakes are priced depending on intricacy, materials and time it takes to decorate. Typically the more detailed or intricate a cake looks, the more time it takes to decorate which carries over to a higher price. To receive a full quote for a cake, send us an email or fill out an inquiry form. Be sure to include details such as wedding date, guest count, budget, venue and if you are looking for delivery as well!
Sheet cakes are great for making up for servings without increasing the size of the cake. Sheet cakes are more budget friendly then increasing the cake size or having cupcakes.
Please note sheet cakes are not meant for presentation and are taken straight to the kitchen when delivered.
Naked/Semi Naked Cakes
Naked cakes are always trending in full force! Most of our cakes at CBV are not a true naked cake, but a semi-naked cake. These cakes have a thin layer of buttercream on the outside that seals in the cake to prevent the cake from drying out.
Buttercream
We use a Swiss Meringue buttercream on all of our cakes. Its silky smooth, not overly sweet and does not crust. Our buttercream is naturally an off-white color, because of our ingredients. Butter naturally being a soft yellow color, and real vanilla naturally being brown. Please take this into consideration when looking at our cakes with your color scheme. If you are thinking of using bright or deep colors on the cake, one thing to remember is that buttercream has a tendency to stain mouths, teeth, fingers, and clothes.
Fondant
Fondant is a malleable, chewy marshmallow-like icing. Fondant will give you a flawless surface as well as more design options. If you are looking for a true white cake, fondant would be your best bet! We use fondant to do our more complex designs as well as any sugar flowers/greenery. Fondant is placed on a layer of buttercream, if you are not a fan of fondant and peel it off the cake you will still have a buttercream cake underneath.Cake Stands for Hire
We have lots of pretty cake stands that can be hired to accompany your cake. We charge $20 per stand to hire for 4 days and a security deposit in case of any loss or damage. The security deposit will be refunded once you have returned the stand to us. Currently, we only hire stands to our customers who order a cake

*Please note that we only allow customer pick up for smaller cakes, not tiered cakes as they are very fragile.
On a Budget?
Here are some options
to consider
Here are some options
to consider
• If your cake style is very floral, compare quotes on handmade sugar flowers with fresh flowers supplied by your florist.
• Crafty? Think about a simple unfrosted style or plain iced tiers that you can style with your own toppers or embellishments.
• Keep to the size you need for your serving numbers rather than adding foam tiers for dramatic impact.
• A simple iced cake with just a couple of stunning gum paste flowers can be incredibly stylish and refined if it’s been skillfully made and perfectly shaped.
• Source quirky or sweet non-edible figurines instead of having a custom-made sugarpaste bride and groom.
