 A custom cake is any type of cake that goes above and beyond the call of regular cake work. This can include handmade fondant pieces, flowers, or attention to detail that is a little bit extra than a traditional style birthday cake. Tiered cakes and wedding cakes are also considered custom.

Emailing orders can sometimes be a slower way to place an order, as we DO NOT respond to emails on the weekends. I am the only cake decorator, so on the weekends it is next to impossible to get to emails on top of the custom cake work I do. I do have apprentice that work with me, but they have no access to my email or social media. 
PLEASE DO NOT SEND MULTIPLE EMAILS. It will take us longer to respond to you, because our emails are answered in the order they are received, and the more emails you send without a response, the further down it bumps you on our end. 
I try to focus all of my attention to my custom work, so just remember, when it takes a slower amount of time to hear back on the weekend, I am dedicating myself to my work, just like I will when I am making your order!

Fondant is a sugar-based coating for cakes, serving as an alternative to conventional icing. Crafted in-house at my cake studio, my fondant boasts a delightful, candy-like texture and taste. This versatile ingredient is ideal for intricate designs and proves invaluable for outdoor occasions where buttercream may liquefy. It is also applied to my custom-designed sugar cookies and cupcakes for an enhanced aesthetic appeal.

Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth and safe transport experience:

• Keep it Level: Hold the cake from the bottom or place it on a flat surface to keep it level during transportation. This helps prevent any potential damage or distortion.

• Avoid Sudden Stops or Sharp Turns: Drive carefully to avoid sudden stops, sharp turns, and abrupt movements, which can impact the stability of the cake.

• Climate Control: If the weather is warm, consider using air conditioning in your vehicle to maintain a cool environment for the cake.

3. Disclaimer: Our Responsibility for the Cake Once it Leaves Our Possession

Please be aware that once the custom cake is picked up by the client or their designated representative, Southern Belle Cakes by Nickie is no longer responsible for any damage, deterioration, or changes to the cake’s condition. I take every precaution to ensure the structural integrity and quality of our cakes upon handover, but external factors beyond my control may affect the cake during transportation and handling.
