FAQ

How do I pick the right design for my teen’s milestone celebration?

What sizes and servings are available for a teen party order?

We offer multiple tiers: small for intimate groups, medium for family gatherings, and large for bigger parties. Each size lists estimated servings so you can match portions to guest count. If you’re unsure, our team can recommend the best option based on your number of attendees.

Are custom toppers and name details available?

Personalized acrylic or edible toppers with a name or age are available for most designs. Provide the exact spelling and color preference when you order, and we’ll mock up options to approve before production.

What flavors and fillings can I choose from?

We offer classic and trendy flavors like vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, salted caramel, and fruit fillings. You can mix layers with complementary fillings, and we can suggest combinations that suit both the design and guest preferences.
