Welcome to Michael Anthony Cakes

1. When should I order my cake?
For wedding cakes, I recommend you order your cake two to seven months prior to your wedding, however there are times when we could be more flexible on time. Most other special occasion cakes a two week notice prior to date will usually be sufficient time.

2. How can reserve my date?
You reserve your date for your cake only when a signed contract and the necessary down payment is received. (See payment terms below for details)

3. What is fondant? What does fondant taste like?
Fondant is a malleable sugar dough, which creates a porcelain-smooth texture. It is laid over the cake as a decorative finish. It has a neutral taste much like marshmallows that can be flavored to most any taste you may desire. Like the crust of a pizza, you can choose to enjoy it or leave it, it does not effect the taste or texture of the cake itself.
