Consultations and tastings are available free of charge for clients booking a cake for a minimum of 75 guests (or a $250 minimum order), and are by appointment only. During this meeting that lasts approximately 1 hour, Lisa will discuss the details of your event while you look through her extensive portfolio of cake designs. You may find the cake of your dreams in there, or she’ll begin the process of designing your custom cake. You’ll also get to sample some of the most popular cake flavors and taste for yourself what everyone is raving about! It's always helpful to bring in any inspirational items-wedding gown design, flowers, color swatches, photos of cakes you like, invitations-anything that pertains to your event. At Cake Expressions custom cake design options are limitless! Located in Huntersville, North Carolina, we offer delivery to the greater Charlotte area and beyond.
