    Typically Saturday and Sunday something like 11 am or 12 pm to 4 pm or 5 pm Factors that affect hours include personal and family obligations, and the number of customer orders needing fulfillment on weekends. Hours do vary week to week and are posted on the Facebook page facebook.com/sweet1603
  • Why is the shop pick-up only?
    Prior to the 2020 pandemic the shop had been a traditional walk-in operation. During the shutdown I discovered a lowered level of anxiety by offering pick-up only. This allowed me to operate more efficiently as a one person operation with less interruption. At this time there are no plans to return to walk-in service. Please see how to order on weekends in the Frequently Asked Question section,
  • When is the weekend menu posted?
    The weekend menu is posted shortly before opening on Saturdays. Backstory: I use to post the menu during the week. Life kept happening and items would end up being either not made due to time management or would not turn out sellable. I would then have to back track and post a revised menu and explain what happened. I now post close to opening, so that I ensure what is on the menu is actually available for sale.
  • What are your specialty style cakes?
    My specialty is southern style cakes. I like simple classic flavors that know how to hit the spot and leave you satisfied. I do not offer dietary friendly products. These are full fat, full sugar items intended to be eaten in moderation. I do not offer vegan, keto, gluten free, low-fat, fat-free, sugar-free items. There are specialty bakers that have a passion for making these dietary friendly items and I would love for someone who has the skillset, knowledge and capability to accommodate your needs to do so.
  • What are order minimums?
    Custom orders require a minimum amount of product to be purchased for efficiency purposes. Ordering from the weekend retail menu does not require a minimum order to be placed. This is a good way to sample our products and see if you like our style. Custom minimums are as follows: Cakes - 6 inch cake Cupcakes - One dozen per flavor Brownies - One dozen Cookies - One dozen per flavor Cake pops - Two dozen total (one dozen per flavor)
  • Is the menu price the final price?
    No. These are base prices. Decoration and flavor options can have an effect on the final price. For instance if you prefer extra nuts in a carrot cake, or cookies with extra mix-ins the price will be increased based on these additional ingredients. A final quote will be sent via email for payment.
  • I need a quote for a tiered cake
    Please note that I only offer two tier cakes. If you desire more tiers, I will need to refer you to another baker. These are not my specialty, my niche or my passion. To offer a larger amount of servings I will suggest having a variety of cupcakes in addition to a one or two tier cake. Alternatively "kitchen cakes" can be added. Kitchen cakes are smaller rounds or sheet cakes made in the same flavor variety as the display cakes but are kept in the kitchen and served by the caterer after the formal display cake is cut. To receive an accurate quote please have the following information readily available: Date and time of event Date of pick-up (this may need to be the day before the event) Number of guests to feed Desired color scheme or decoration Flavor desired
  • Dietary Accomodations
    I do not offer vegan, keto, gluten free, low-fat, fat-free, sugar-free items.

  • When can I pick up during the week?
    Weekday pick-up for custom orders can be scheduled 6:30 am to 7:45 am or 5:15 pm to 7 pm Please note that these times are firm appointment times as I have full time employment outside of the shop, in addition to familial responsibilities.
