Sample Pricing All designs are custom quoted

Because each cake creation is custom-designed, we do not publish a set price list. Factors that may influence the cost of your cake include: number of servings, flavor & filling choices, 3-D sculpting of the cake and/or fondant figures, and the overall complexity of the design.

What's That!? Everything you Need to Know

What Are Cake Pops?

Cake-pops are a mixture of cake and icing, in your favorite flavor combination, rolled into a ball or custom shape, pushed onto a stick, and dipped in a chocolate coating. Cake-pops can be shaped and decorated to suit the theme of any occasion.

What cake/filling flavors do you offer?

Since all of our cakes are custom made, we can usually accommodate any flavor request. Our most popular flavors are vanilla, chocolate or marbled cake, filled with vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting, or a creamy mousse in raspberry, chocolate or white chocolate flavor.

Do You Deliver?

We offer a fee-based delivery on custom cake orders only. Delivery on cupcakes and cake-pops will be made only if they are part of a larger order that includes a custom cake. Orders can also be picked up from Occasional Cakes at a pre-arranged time.

How do I place an order?

To place an order, simply contact us via telephone or email. A cake artist will work with you to design your custom cake creation, and send a contract to complete the order process.

How far in advance do I have to order?

It is best to place most orders at least 3-4 weeks in advance. Weddings can be booked up to 1 year in advance.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes. A 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required on all orders, with the balance due on or before the delivery of your order. Orders placed less than 3 weeks from the event date, must be paid in full at the time of the order.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Currently we can only accept cash and checks. We hope to expand this soon to allow online payments via credit/debit cards.

As the wife of a busy police officer, and mom to 3 very active kids, I never imagined that one day I would actually work as a professional cake artist.  Up until April of 2010, I had only made birthday cakes for my own kids, nieces & nephews. 

One day, someone asked how much it would cost to purchase a custom cake for her uncle's 60th birthday.  I had no idea how to answer that question.  I'd never SOLD a cake before.  Long story short, I sold my first cake that month!

Our Passion

One of my favorite childhood memories is of creating works of art out of Play-Doh with my Great-Aunt “Sis”. I still love Play-Doh, but today, I get to create art from cake, icing, fondant & modeling chocolate. Every project brings a new challenge, allowing me to learn new skills with each custom creation. It’s a dream come true to work from home in a fun, imaginative way that enables me to bring a little joy to those celebrating an occasion with one of my cake creations!

Over the next several months, I created custom cakes, cupcakes and cake-pops in all shapes, sizes, colors and flavors. When my friends heard what I was doing, they always asked, “What kind of cakes do you make?” And I always answered, “I do cakes for all occasions.” Thus, Occasional Cakes was created.
