Frequently Asked Questions

Yes!

My cakes do not adhere to any specific event or celebration, therefore, I would be thrilled to provide a cake (and maybe some other desserts) for your wedding!

I cannot duplicate or try to copy another cake artist’s work, and I also do not work with fondant or sugar flowers.

Please browse the images of my work from the Lady Jasmine website and Instagram page to gather inspiration! No two cakes of mine are ever the same!

I ensure that all of the flowers I use to decorate are non-toxic and edible!

However, the flowers, petals, and greens may not necessarily be palatable. When coming up with my cake flavors, I do not take into consideration the flavors of the flowers with the other flavors in the cake.

The flowers and greens are solely for decorative purposes.

Please feel free to remove them as you’re slicing, or eat around them. But eating a petal or two won’t hurt ya. ;)

My flowers are sourced from local organic flower farms, and are selected at random based on seasonality and availability.

In almost every case, pickup is highly encouraged since Lady Jasmine is a solo operated business. It really does help me out!

However, I want to be able to serve the greater Bay Area! I am more than happy to work out some delivery arrangements with you, if absolutely necessary. I will just need to tack on an additional delivery fee to cover my time and costs.

If you have any questions, please inquire via email or in your order form and I will see what I can do!

Depending on the dietary restriction, more often than not, the answer is yes!

Before filling out the order form, email me and inform me of which dietary restrictions you’d like accommodated, and we’ll go from there.

Please note that I am NOT a 100% allergy-free kitchen, therefore cross contamination for any allergy or dietary restriction is ever-so possible.

I take your allergy accomodation requests very seriously, and do my best to eliminate this risk as much as I can!

Also, I try my best to avoid adding any surcharge for accommodating dietary restrictions, because that’s just bonkers.

Unless it is to accommodate an allergy or dietary restriction, no.

I spend time carefully curating my menu by testing recipes and tasting flavors together to ensure proper balance. If you don’t like a certain flavor, I would encourage you to either select a different menu offering or try it the way I’ve prepared and paired that flavor with the rest of the components!

When driving with the cake, it is best to place on a flat surface. I suggest the passenger floor. Take turns, stops, and accelerations slow and gradually, and keep your AC on if possible. My buttercream recipe is super firm when cold. Therefore, you should have no problems driving around with your cake immediately after pick up.

Keep your cake refrigerated before and after serving.

About 45-90 minutes before slicing and serving, remove the cake from the fridge to take the chill off and let the cake come closer to room temperature. Buttercream especially has optimal flavor release when it has time to soften up. You’ll also find, too, that slicing will be easier. Patience is KEY!

After slicing and serving, cover any left overs and store back in the fridge. If refrigerated properly, I suggest that cakes can be enjoyed up to 3 days after pick up.

Funfetti cake?

No.

Red Velvet?

Sorry.

“Death by Chocolate”?

Nope.

Rainbow cake?

I’m gay too, but still the answer is no.

I’m not hatin’ on some of these classics, I’m just saying that all of my cakes push the boundaries of what many people think cake flavors are limited to!

Also, I will never ever use food dyes or artificial flavors in my cakes.

TLDR: Never! Salt is my BFF <3

The most common review I hear from the people who’ve ordered my cakes and other desserts is that they enjoyed them because they aren’t too sweet.

Everything I make is tested and tasted before going on the menu. This is to ensure that the flavors are cohesive and that the basic tastes (sweet, salt, sour, bitter) are well balanced.

This ain’t no Safeway cake!

If the items you would like to order are all for the same pick up date and time, there is no need to fill out more than one order form.

Please list the other items you would like to add in the “Other Requests” box at the end of the order form.

Please fill out a separate order form only if the additional items you want are for a different pick up date and time.
