What time do you offer appointments?
Appointments are available at the following times:
Tuesday 12pm, 2pm, and 8pm
Wednesday 12pm, 2pm
Friday 6pm, 8pm
Sunday appointments are only available for clients visiting from out of town. If none of these work for you, please call the studio and we will try to accomodate you.
How much do your cakes cost?
Cakes vary dramatically based on design, amount of servings, and labor required for the decoration. That said, most of my wedding clients choose cakes that are between $4 and $6 a serving. Celebration cakes start at $150, and sculpted cakes start at $200, no matter how many servings are needed. A custom cupcake tower with a mini-cake topper starts at $50.
What are your retail hours?
Our summer retail hours are Tuesday through Friday 12 noon to 9pm, Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 12 noon to 4pm. We book our studio for private parties on Saturday nights beginning at 7pm. Our retail line includes a fresh cupcake bar, icing shots, naked cakes (rated G of course) and cupcake flights in our special tasting booth that last 1 hour and that you can book in advance. In addition to cupcakes individually or by the dozen, we have a small but incredibly artistic and delicious line of decorated cookies, miniature cakes, and little stacked cakes for sale. These items are perfect for unique gifts, thank yous, etc, and they include artistic wrapping and gift cards.
What can we see if we visit you during the day?
During the week, during the day, is the best time to see the designers at work. Fridays and Saturdays are our busiest days for designing custom cakes. We welcome you to grab a cupcake and watch us while we work anytime...we call it "Food Network Live." Like Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes, but in your own neighborhood!
How can I find out more about your classes?
A full range of classes in cake decorating and cookie decorating will be offered at the studio as scheduled (see class page). We will carry a discerning collection of cake decorating supplies for sale that cater to the artistic individual, both hobbyist and professional. Wilton and CK Products are twp brands we will be carrying. After you have taken a class from Zillycakes, you can pay a per hour fee and come to "open studio" time on Wednesdays from 6pm to 9pm. Use our supplies, tools, and materials to perfect your own techniques and create your own masterpieces!
Do you offer birthday parties?
We have so much fun at Zillycakes it would be a crime not to invite you in to have your party with us! Parties can be scheduled any time on Sunday or Monday, and other times depending on studio availability. Participants must be 5 years old and up; our studio size limits us to a maximum of 8 guests including the birthday boy or girl. Everyone dresses in aprons and chefs hats, and of course we have to taste what we make! Please contact Zilly for details, pricing, and project choices.
Can I have a private gathering in your space?
You bet! Cake isn't just for kids. Whether you want a "hands on" class or gathering, or a themed party, we can use our creativity to help you plan your next party or event at Zillycakes. The studio is available every Saturday night after 7pm. We can also bring our talents and products to your space. Set us a custom cupcake bar at your next party!
Why do you always wear a baseball hat?
What's wrong with your voice?
I work in food, and a baseball hat looks cooler than a hairnet! Then it stays on for the rest of the day because of short hair and bad "hat head." The voice? No, I'm not sick, and it's not catching...I have a voice disorder from an injury 11 years ago. Ask me about it sometime; it's a crazy story!
What exactly is a cake artist?
Ahh, for an answer to that, you'll need to visit Zillycakes and see us in action! In the meantime, these video links will give you a pretty good idea!
