Biography
Wedding cake consultations require appointments and occur on the
premises and will last about an hour's time. We recommend having your
cake samples ready for the date of your appointment. Cocoa will need a
week's notice to schedule a consultation.

Cake samples need to be reserved in advance, as they are made to order
based on your choices. We will also need
a weeks' notice to have the
samples ready for you, we suggest you order when scheduling the
consultation appointment.

Cocoa will provide two cake samples at no charge, with each additional
sample at a price of $10.00 each.
How to prepare for your consultation
When considering the design of your own cake, here are a few questions that can
help match your cake to the occasion:
  • What is your budget? (Pricing for cakes start at $4/serving and decoration is a
    significant part of the cake's price)
  • What season will the wedding take place?
  • How formal will the occasion be?
  • What does your gown look like or the reception space?
  • Do you have colors selected or a floral theme for the wedding?
  • Feel free to bring swatches of fabric or pictures of cakes you like when meeting
    for your consultation.

Other points to consider to determine what cake will suit you are:
  • How many guests will be attending?
  • Will you be needing extra servings for those who RSVP at the last minute?
  • Do you want each tier, if there are tiers, to have the same flavor or different
    flavors?
  • Do you have the contact information for the wedding planner, caterer and
    manager at the site of the reception?
  • Will the reception be indoors or outdoors?
  • What shape will the cake be?
  • Will there be flowers on the cake?
  • Will it be a cake at all - perhaps you prefer cupcakes?
  • Do you have a date set, and how firm is that date?
