Cake or Death creates custom, hand-sculpted works of edible art using cake, icing, and fondant. Cake or Death does not make slab cakes, ready-made or mass-produced cakes. We specialize in edible 3-D sculptures of any size and style, from multi-tiered wedding cakes to smaller occasion cakes.

Please call for an appointment to discuss your special event. We will spend up to one hour to help you plan your custom creation. Pictures, sketches, stories, or other items of inspiration are always welcome and can help to personalize your cake, as well as give us a better understanding of your idea. Cake tastings are available for wedding cakes and occasion cakes over $300.

Simply, call or email us to get started. Cake or Death requires a 50% non-refundable deposit to reserve our services. Your remaining balance due two weeks prior to receipt of the cake. It's best to book well in advance to assure availability, especially for wedding cakes.

As artists, our commission is determined by size of cake, as well as complexity of design. Cost usually starts at $5 per serving. Cake or Death has a $150 minimum for cake orders.

Please keep in mind that producing a beautiful and artful cake requires time and expertise. We will, however, try to work within your budget and adjust the labour accordingly. Even simple can be dramatic and elegant!

To guarantee safe and punctual arrival of your cake art, we can personally deliver it. Delivery fees start at $50 and increase depending upon size of cake and distance to destination. If you wish to save on delivery, you may pick up the cake at an agreed upon time and date.

Regardless of flavour, a Cake or Death cake usually consists of cake frosted with butter-cream icing and covered with fondant icing, along with other edible and non-edible decorations. (Fondant icing is a blend of corn syrup, sugar, and gelatin, which can be kneaded, rolled, or shaped and is used to create the outer design of a cake sculpture.)

To support the construction, some cakes may contain one or more of the following materials: wooden dowels, cardboard separators, and/or dry pasta pieces. These are to be removed before serving or eating the cake, as they are inedible.
