The Sweet Life

The Sweet Life At The Sweet Life we strive to make your special occasions a success! Everything from cakes and cupcakes to cake pops. It has a deep wonderful flavor.)

We use the freshest ingredients and everything is made to order specially for you. READ THIS SECTION FOR PRICING GUIDELINES AND FLAVORS

We love our business and we LOVE our customers! Thank God (and you) we are very busy most of the year! We ask that you place your order with at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance. There are times when we have cancellations, and they will be posted on our page as soon

as they come up. There will be a 25% or a $25 dollar deposit when ordering. It is only fair to our customers that we have the most accurate and available times for you. When we have cancellations from one day to another (with very short notice) then we have lost many sales and YOU the customer has lost out on available dates. If you do need to cancel for any reason, please let me know with at least a 10 day notice. Orders cancelled after the 10 day cancellation period will not be subject to a deposit refund. All of our cakes, decorations, fondant, polymer clay and wreaths are made to your specifications. Because they are custom orders I don't have a SPECIFIC price per item. I do have a general guide line:

FLAVORS AND FILLINGS

We offer a wide variety of flavors. If you don't see one that you like we might be bale to make a custom flavor combination for you. **PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that there are some types of cakes that stand up to construction (stacking or carving) better than others**
