Delectable Delights by Heather is a family business. Everyone pitches in wherever they are needed.  A small business…
Life is complicated enough, we’re not about to make the business complicated, too. Our small business approach keeps everything on a one-to-one basis, whether by phone or by email. And we don’t “overbook.”

We don’t have “office hours” nor do we have a showroom so “just walking in” is not a good idea. Our home business is a business, oddly enough, based in our home. In order to keep home life and business separate, we prefer to set up meetings with clients at a time that is convenient for you and for us so we can relax and concentrate on the cake at hand. This is especially true for wedding cakes. A sit-down discussion is necessary for a wedding cake, but not so much for Uncle Charlie’s birthday cake.  So plan accordingly.

FAQs

Can you recreate a cake if we provide you a picture?

Heather: Yes, just bring the photo along, the more detailed the better.

 

Can you come up with a design for us, maybe show us some ideas?

Heather: Yes! We have lots of photos of cakes we’ve created and we can customize one just for you.

 

Can you make my cake match the wedding theme colors, bridesmaids’ dresses or the bridal gown?

Heather: Yes. Swatches are needed for colors and a photo of the dress.

 

Can you include fresh flowers?

Heather: Yes. The florist who designs your arrangements is the right person to put together the flowers for your cake. Make sure you mention this when you are arranging for your arrangements.

 

Do you ship cakes?

Heather: No.
