FAQs

Couture is a French word meaning fashionable made to measure clothing. We have pulled that concept into cake designing here at Dolcé. Each cake is made specific to your requirements, design taste and your event. We use the highest level of ingredients, the silkiest of chocolates (Callebaut and Ghirardelli) and the highest level of food coloring – that is vegan, 100% allergen free, free of fillers & gums, kosher certified and Hallal suitable. Our team is constantly going to new classes, and courses that teach us the newest techniques on the market – some courses even ranging from $600-800, ensuring you to always have access to the newest and most trending designs on the market.

Delivery is available at an additional cost and is available to all cities within a 20-mile radius of 32707 zip code. We will automatically add this option to your quote so make sure to add your address. We are closed Mondays and Tuesdays and deliver Wednesdays through Sundays from 3pm to 8pm. If you need a different time window- let us know so we can work out the kinks.

For wedding cakes, it’s better to book sooner rather than later to avoid missing out, especially during wedding season (Sept-March). We recommend a two-month lead time but will try to accommodate later orders as well. 

For all other sweets and celebration cakes – we recommend 3 weeks in advance to secure a spot but will try our best to accommodate last minute orders.

Every cake is different, so prices will vary depending on the size of the cake and the complexity of the design.  Fill out our quote form and we’ll get back to you with a quote and answer any questions you have.

Custom designs start around $115.00.

The full payment for your cake is due upfront- if you need an accommodation let us know and we will work with you to set up a payment plan to accommodate your needs.

Cancellation 5 days prior to your event is subject to a full refund. Cancellation less that 5 days prior to your event is subject to 50 percent refund. Any custom items ordered for your cake (cake topper that is customized, a toy or décor specific to your order will not be refunded).

Once you have your cake and sweets keep them in the fridge. One hour before your event take the cake out and let it come to room temperature in order to allow all the creams and fillings to become soft, easy to cut and come to their full flavors.

We recommend eating your sweets within 2 days of receiving them, proper refrigeration rules must be followed to keep your sweets safe. Please keep ALL items in the fridge and remove one hour before serving.

When transporting your sweets, make sure your car is completely cooled and no heating is on at any time of transportation. All our cakes are buttercream and will melt if placed in heat. Make sure to have it flat on the floor and drive slowly over bumps, make slow stops and slow accelerations to avoid shifting and smudging of the buttercream.

Check our flavor page for more information on portions and cutting your cake.

We have a small selection of cake stands that you can add to your purchase. Let us know in your inquiry if you would like to add one to your order. Bonus: You get to keep it after your event, we don’t require them to be returned to reduce the hassle on your end.

It’s easy to think that a cake is just eggs, butter, sugar and flour and therefore should be cheaper, but when you buy a custom couture cake, you are paying for much more than just the ingredients. Even the simplest of cakes take 10 to 15 hours to create, with much more elaborate designs taking 35+ hours.

Unfortunately, no. A huge part of our process is the design aspect and bringing your vision to life. 

If you have a florist or designer you are working with for your floral arrangements at your celebration, we will happily work with them to keep the quality and standards of your florals cohesive. You can also ship us your florals or drop them off to us directly if you have specifics that you want us to use and incorporate into your design.
