Question 4

What are your specialty style cakes?

Accepted Answer

At Sweet 1603, Southern-style cakes are my sweet spot! I’m all about those simple, classic flavors that bring comfort, joy, and that “mmm” moment with every bite. These treats are rich, satisfying, and made the old-fashioned way—full fat, full sugar, and full of love. Meant to be enjoyed in moderation, of course. 😉
While I don’t offer vegan, keto, gluten-free, or sugar-free options, there are so many talented bakers out there who specialize in those dietary needs. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to recommend someone who can give you the same kind of care and deliciousness with your needs in mind! 💛

Question 5

What are order minimums?

Accepted Answer

Custom orders are made fresh just for you, and to keep things efficient in the kitchen, a minimum quantity is required for each product. This helps ensure I can manage time and ingredients wisely while still giving your treats the love and attention they deserve. 💛

Custom Order Minimums:
Cakes – 8-inch cake
Cupcakes – One dozen per flavor
Brownies – One dozen
Cookies – One dozen per flavor
Cake Pops – Two dozen per flavor
Thanks so much for understanding—and supporting a small bakery that puts care into every bite! 🍰✨

Question 6

Is the menu price the final price?

Accepted Answer

The prices listed are base prices. Customizations—like extra nuts in a carrot cake or additional mix-ins for cookies—may increase the final cost based on the ingredients and level of detail requested.
Once we finalize your order details, a personalized quote will be emailed to you for review and payment. I'm always happy to work with you to create something delicious that fits your vision (and your budget)! 🍪💛

Question 7

Dietary Accomodations

Accepted Answer

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. 🤗
