Just ask!

How far in advance do I book my cake?
The number of cakes booked per week are limited, so the earlier you reserve your date with Sugar Moon the better. Typically, busier wedding months (May through October) book 8-10 months in advance. For other times of the year, a couple of months notice will usually be fine (a minimum of one week is required). If you have your heart set on Sugar Moon, book it as early as possible. This allows ample time to prepare items in advance, i.e.: royal icing decorations, cake boards, special purchases etc.

How do I save my date?
A $100 non-refundable deposit will hold your date – this will be applied towards the final cost of your cake. One month prior to the event a 50% deposit is required with the remainder payable two (2) weeks before your date. If you have booked with only one month (or less) to the event date, a 50% deposit is required before any work commences. All balances must be paid two (2) weeks in advance. Failure to pay the full amount two weeks prior to your event will forfeit any monies paid up to that point and your booking will be cancelled. Acceptable methods are Interac Email Transfers (through online banking), PayPal (a 5% surcharge will be added), personal cheques (certified only for final payment), money orders or plain old cash. Sorry, Sugar Moon is not set up to receive credit cards. Sugar Moon reserves the right to change payment policies as necessary.

Do you deliver or are we required to pick up?
Brenda personally delivers all Sugar Moon cakes. Within Saskatoon city limits is no charge. This allows her to set up the cake, add any fragile decorations on site and ensures your cake is picture perfect when you and your guests arrive! If you are outside of Saskatoon, delivery charges will apply. Small order cakes/cupcakes will incur a delivery charge of $25. Pick up is an option for smaller orders or out of town events.

Do you offer tastings?
We don’t enjoy eating in front of strangers – do you?! To offset this awkward moment, a tasting package of Sugar Moon’s most popular selections is offered for you to enjoy in private. During the low-season (November-April) tastings are held once per month with advance booking required. Tastings are limited – don’t miss out!

Can we meet with you to discuss our cake?
Absolutely! Consultations for weddings are arranged once or twice per month from November to April. Sorry, due to high demand and limited time, consultations are not available during the busy wedding season or for smaller event cakes. Sugar Moon Cake Co. is totally capable of planning your cake via email or phone if you are unavailable during the consultation times; in fact, up to 80% of Sugar Moon cakes are arranged this way.

Do you do “sheet cakes” or “kitchen cakes”?
No, sorry. Sugar Moon prefers to focus on providing you with a tasty, high quality, work of art. If budget is your main concern, please be open and honest, we usually can work things out to accommodate most budgets!

What do you charge?
Each cake is individually priced based on the style, size and finishing touches added to the cake. You can expect your unique creation to start at $3.50 per serving with a minimum charge of $150 – due to the amount of artistic detail given, many cakes you see in the Sugar Moon gallery run in the $4-6 per serving range. An average for smaller cakes is around $150-190. Sculpted/3D cakes will start at $200. Please note that due to the care and attention given to cakes – small cakes will typically cost more per serving than a larger cake.
