FAQs

What Flavors do you Offer?

This is the hardest question we get asked— Dream Day Cakes custom creates specialty cakes to order. With this in mind, we can work with you to make an extremely creative flavor combination. We can always test new flavors and pride ourselves on creativity. All of our cakes and flavors are gourmet with each cake containing many cake and filling layers.

For cake layers, we offer chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, gold, spice, coconut, lemon, and if you can dream a new flavor, we’ll probably try it. We also offer a wide variety of filling choices, including: Creme Brulee, Strawberry Morning Brunch, Chocoholic, Very Beary Raspberry, Wild Strawberry, Florida Key Lime, Tiramisu, Dulce de Leche (tres leches), French Vanilla, Mocha, Bailey’s, Bourbon, Amaretto, Vanilla Cream, Coconut, Soft Chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Raspberry, Strawberry, Chai, and more.

What are your Cake Prices?

All of the cakes from Dream Day Cakes® are custom created for the unique client/event— because of this, we don’t have “set prices.” Our base price starts at $6.00/serving and includes a layered cake (with flavored buttercream filling layers), rolled fondant, and basic decoration. Some aspects that add to the price of a cake include airbrushing, gumpaste decorations, piping, painting, sculpting, and/or other time consuming design work. Additional decoration fees (if needed) are based on time and estimated during the planning of your cake.

Cake truffles are sold in boxes of 6 truffles and priced according to size. Cookies are sold individually and priced according to size.

When Should I Order my cake?

At minimum, we recommend ordering at least 2 weeks in advance— but the sooner the better! In order to guarantee availability for your event, we recommend contacting us as soon as possible. For weddings or “big” events we strongly recommend 3 to 6 months notice. Specialty cakes do take some time and planning, we like to say the earlier we know, the better.

How can I Schedule a Tasting?

Want to try our cakes? Give us a call at +1 (352) 336-8955. We offer personalized, individual tastings where you can sample our cake while we listen to what kind of design you’re looking for. Be sure to let us know of any allergies or “dislikes,” so we can avoid those flavors. For more information on personal tastings, please click here.

Do you Deliver?

Yes, we deliver. For many cakes in the local Gainesville area, delivery will be included. For other deliveries, we have a delivery fee based on distance.

Can you Ship my Cake?

No, we cannot ship specialty cakes. We can, however, ship mini personal cakes, cake truffles, cookies, and more. Please contact us for specifics.

What is Fondant?

We use rolled fondant or fondant icing, which is not the same material as poured fondant, to decorate cakes. Our homemade fondant includes gelatin (or agar in vegetarian recipes) and food-grade glycerine, which keeps the sugar pliable and creates a dough-like consistency. Fondant is rolled out like a pie crust and used to cover the cake. This gives the cakes a beautiful, smooth appearance.

Does your Fondant Taste Good?

Yes! We proudly make our own fondant and ensure it’s both tasty and enjoyable. We offer Vanilla and Chocolate Fondant. You can also read more about our fondant by clicking here.

Can I get a Cake without Fondant?

All of our cakes come with our handmade fondant included in the price. Underneath the fondant is a layer of buttercream.

How big is a Serving of Cake?

Our standard cakes are 4” high. The recommended serving size is 4” high, 2” long and 1” wide.
