💬F.A.Q - Frequently Asked Questions
1) How far in advance should I order a cake?
To allow enough time for design and preparation, we recommend ordering at least 2 weeks in advance.
For weddings and important events, we recommend booking 2–3 months in advance.
2) Can I request a fully customised cake?
Absolutely! All our cakes are made to order to suit your event’s theme, colours and style.
You can send us reference photos, colour palettes or inspiration, and we’ll create the perfect design for you.
3) Do you also make matching mini cakes or cupcakes?
Yes, we make mini cakes, cupcakes and decorated biscuits to match your main cake design, ideal for sweet tables and edible wedding favours.
4) Can I request a personalised cake topper?
Yes, we create custom cake toppers in fondant or plexiglass, personalised with names, initials or your chosen theme.
5) Do you offer wedding cake tastings?
Yes, tastings can be booked by appointment, with a choice of 2 flavour combinations from our selection.
6) Do you make multi-tier wedding cakes?
Yes, cakes can be made with two or more tiers.
The design is agreed based on the event’s style and the season.
7) Can I choose multiple flavours for a tiered cake?
To ensure quality and stability, we recommend a maximum of 2 different flavours per cake, especially for wedding cakes.
8) Do you offer lactose-free, gluten-free or vegan options?
We offer lactose-free and vegan cakes on request.
We don’t make gluten-free cakes, but we take the utmost care to prevent cross-contamination.

Our victory at the Italian Championships
It still doesn’t feel real, but with our piece, “The Masks of the Soul,” we won our first title at the FIEEA Italian Team Championship! It was an extraordinary experience, full of emotion and pride, and gave us the opportunity to meet talented fellow cake artists from all over Italy. We’ll always cherish those intense days of sharing, mutual support and passion: a group of genuine professionals, united by their love of this art and their desire to grow together.
We dedicate this achievement to everyone who believes in the power of dreams, talent and collaboration.
