Ordering InformationPlease review the following 17 topics. Each one is relevant to ordering your wedding cake.
 How many pieces of wedding cake should you order? Here’s a simple formula that will help you determine the probable number of guests who will be having a slice of your wedding cake.
 Which shape do you prefer? The Cake Gallery offers traditional round wedding cakes, as well as, square, heart, and oval shaped wedding cakes. Most shapes will accommodate any design style you choose. In other words, if you see a design you love decorated on a square cake, we can most likely do the same decoration on a round or heart shaped cake, etc. Round cakes are available in sizes from 6” to 24”, while other shapes have limitations according to the number of servings you need. If you have a preference to have an all square, heart, oval, or octagonal cake, your wedding cake consultant will explain the serving options. All of the described shapes are shown within the photo galleries of the Wedding Cake Gallery.  Simple to elegant. The Cake Gallery showroom, the largest in the Midwest, usually has 18-24 current and creative displays and 4 albums with over 150 pictures. Our website generally has around 150 photos. The designs range from simple to elegant. We offer cakes for the budget conscience and cakes that are rare gems. As you browse, you’ll see photos that are simplistic, which take a moderate amount of time to decorate; then you’ll see photos that require more expertise and time to decorate, and finally wedding cakes that are very time consuming and require the most training and skill to create. As discussed in the “shapes” section, most shapes will accommodate any design you choose. As an example, if you see a design on a square cake that you like, most likely we can do the same decoration on a round or heart shaped cake. Feel free to mix and match designs from different wedding cakes. You can take designs from different photos to create a cake that fits and suits your liking. We add new cake displays and photos, monthly, to our albums, showroom, and our website. The new wedding cake photos on our web site are added to the existing wedding cake categories. If your preference is to duplicate a wedding cake from a magazine, book, or web site, you’ll be glad to know, we have prize winning certified wedding cake designers that can replicate almost anything.  Adding tier separators and/or platforms to increase height or interest. Set-up refers to using tier separators/platforms/stands/tubes and other means of elevating your wedding cake. It’s your option as how you would like the cake set-up. You can either select the way the cake is set-up in the photo/ display, or you can take out or add separators to your cake. To give your wedding cake more height or to make it more interesting, you can pick from several different wedding cake stands, platforms, or tubular devices. Your wedding cake assistant will be glad to discuss all the options.  Choose the type of plates to separate your tiers. After choosing your design and set-up, we move on to the plates and pillars that will separate the tiers. If your wedding cake has round tiers, you have a few choices to consider.
If your wedding cake will be placed on a stand, the stand will already have plates that are unique to the stand. If your cake is square or heart shaped, the plates are square or heart shaped. There is a refundable deposit on plates, pillars, fountain stands, cake stands, and other assorted items. Your wedding cake consultant will explain the individual deposits. There also may be rental fees for particular items. Ask your wedding cake consultant if they apply to you.  You can select different heights and the look of your pillars. Pillars separate the plates which go between the tiers of cake.
 Traditional or creative, it’s your choice. Your wedding cake requires a platform on the very bottom of your cake. This is for two reasons. First, it provides a separation between the cake and the surface of the table. Second, your wedding cake needs to travel from the bakery to your reception. The platform allows the delivery person to pick up the cake and transport it without the cake bending. The surface covering for the platform is usually a ruffle, which goes around the bottom tier of the platform or it is covered with a special foil or coated paper. The design of your cake typically helps you choose the covering. Your wedding cake consultant can show you the various color options.  31 flavors and 35 fillings. We are not a fly by night cake bakery; we don’t bake cakes in the basement of our homes, nor do they come pre-made from a factory in Pittsburg. Our wedding cakes are made in our shop from a special hand–weighed blend of ingredients, which was developed by us and for us, branded ULTRAmoist™. THE CAKE GALLERY is the ONLY bakery in Omaha that has its own TRADEMARKED cake. By establishing this mouth-watering tasteful cake line, we have differentiated ourselves from so called “dry” bakery cakes. The cake will be ULTRAmoist™ and flavorful on your wedding day and moist up to a week afterwards for those family member and guests that will be in town. Please review the 31 cakes flavors to select your favorite(s). You are welcome to choose any cake flavor for your entire wedding cake or choose a different flavor for each tier. We also carry 35 sumptuous fillings, which can be layered inside your cake flavor(s) to make them tortes. This is an important notation; Each tier of wedding cake is made with four layers of cake and three layers of filling. Many bakeries only use two layers of cake and one layer of filling. We invite you to order up to three FREE samples of our different flavors to see what lights up your taste buds. PREMIUM “ULTRAmoist™” CAKES AND FILLINGS The base price of your wedding cake includes an ULTRAmoist vanilla, chocolate or marble cake. If you prefer a flavored cake, dessert type cake or a filled wedding cake, please review the choices below and their accompanying additional charges. Please feel free to combine different fillings and flavors for each tier of your wedding cake.
CARROT CAKE is available and priced at $49 per 100 Servings extra. CHEESE CAKE is available and priced at $59 per 100 Servings extra.  Commonly used frostings to unusual frostings. Which is the best for you? Approximately 98% of all brides have either buttercream, whipped, or fondant frosting covering and decorating their wedding cake. The other 2% are exotic frostings, such as rolled white chocolate, rolled buttercream, pulled sugar and a host of other frostings most people have never heard of before. So, we’ll focus on the 98%. (If you wish to have an exotic frosting, ask for a senior cake designer to assist you.) Let’s take one frosting at a time. BUTTERCREAM This is the most commonly used frosting for a wedding cake. Our buttercream is hand-made, each day, in our bakery, from an age old recipe we’ve used for over 35 years. Besides traditional white, chocolate, or almond buttercream, you have the option of selecting buttercream in any color to either cover your cake or decorate. WHIPPED You may also choose our whipped icing. However, be aware of a few limitations. First, your decoration choices are limited. Second, it’s messier to serve than buttercream, and third, it doesn’t hold up as well; especially during times of warm or hot weather. However, you won’t have to worry about it spoiling, because we use a non-dairy product. With the warnings out of the way, we’ll do our best to please if you have your heart set on whipped frosting. ROLLED FONDANT An exceptional looking smooth surface lends itself to an elegant center piece for your reception. Rolled Fondant is typically used as a covering on top of a buttercream base. It is also used to make decorations, which can be added to a buttercream, whip frosted, or a rolled fondant frosted cake. Because fondant has many more available options than any other frosting, a discussion with your wedding cake consultant will provide you with all the information you’ll need to know.  Should you get one? Grooms cakes come in as many sizes and shapes as do wedding cakes... if not more! Many brides purchase sheet cakes, while others buy tiered cakes or shaped cakes. GROOMS CAKES usually reflect the desire to add something fun to the cake table or the need for additional cake. Many times, the design of the bridal cake napkin is drawn on a sheet cake, while others may decorate around the theme of the honeymoon or an activity that the groom enjoys. We have photos for you to browse on the Groom’s Cakes page or feel free to design a unique groom’s cake and make your own statement. Around 70% of all groom’s cakes are ordered in a chocolate flavor, but feel free to choose a flavor from the wedding cake flavor list.  Finishing the top of your cake. Our selection offers traditional “bride and groom” figurines to “blown glass” ornaments. Prices range from $25 to $150. Common choices for ornamentation include fresh flowers, a mound of frosting flowers, a traditional family mother-to-daughter ornament, monogram initials, and additional varieties offered at specialty stores, such as ours. If you have an ornament purchased elsewhere, just bring it in and we will deliver and set it up with your wedding cake. Fresh flowers are always an excellent choice. If you decide on this option, please have your florist prepare an arrangement for you. Either have them bring it to our store or leave it at the reception site and we’ll place it on top of the cake for you.  Always a nice touch. Our mints are “homemade.” We use a cream cheese recipe flavored with mint and shaped into rosettes. Colors of mints are offered in two methods. First, we prepare light or medium colored mints in standard colors at a rate of .20 cents per mint with a minimum of 50 per color. Second, we can make dark colors or you are welcome to bring in a swatch of material and we will match it as closely as possible at a rate of .28 cents per mint with a minimum of 100 mints per color. We suggest one and one-half mints per serving of cake. Mints are typically delivered with the wedding cake, at no extra charge, unless you arrange a pick-up prior to the reception.  Great fresh taste, straight from the nut wholesaler. The nuts we offer are only of the “deluxe” type, consisting of 50% cashews and 50% other deluxe mixed nuts. This variety does not contain peanuts. One pound of nuts is recommended for every 33 guests, or three pounds per 100 guests currently priced at $8.95 per pound. Nuts are typically delivered with the wedding cake, at no extra charge, unless you arrange a pick-up prior to the reception.  Guaranteed worry free. We want you to feel worry free about receiving your wedding cake on time. To assure your satisfaction, we’ll refund your entire delivery fee if we arrive more than one hour after your scheduled one hour delivery window. (As an example, if you have a delivery time between 1-2pm and we arrive at 3:01…you’ll get a full refund on your delivery fee.*) Keep in mind, deliveries are normally scheduled at least 3 hours in advance of your reception. So, even if your cake were to arrive two hours late, you would still have your wedding cake in time for your reception. All we ask in return is, if we show up on time and no one is at the place of reception site, which causes us to come back later for a second time, we receive a fair additional delivery fee. Our delivery hours are between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Mon-Fri, Sat between 7 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The standard delivery fee is $39; fountain and other “specialty arrangements” are $45. (WITHIN THE OMAHA AREA). We also offer after hour, extended mileage, Sunday, and holiday deliveries...Please ask for a price quotation. *Not including Acts Of God  We do a limited amount per weekend. Reserve a date soon. When your decision is made to place your order with The CAKE GALLERY, please stop by or call us over the phone to place a $75 non-refundable payment to hold the date of your wedding. The remainder of your order may be placed at any time up to two weeks before the reception date. To ensure optimum quality, we limit the number of wedding cake orders per weekend. REMEMBER, IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO ORDER!  The most customer friendly policy around. If you are paying by personal check, the balance is due no less than two weeks prior to your reception date. You may pay in cash up to seven days prior to your date. Published wedding cake prices have been discounted 3.5% for cash payment. Should you decide to pay by credit card, the cash discount does not apply.
 Prices for any budget. Same great ULTAmoist™ cake on the inside. As stated in Wedding Cake Secrets Exposed on average, 70% of the price you’ll pay for your wedding cake is determined by the design on the outside of your cake. The Cake Gallery has six separate price ranges, accommodating every budget. Wedding cakes are priced from the lowest to highest prices according to five separate decorative categories. Although some of the wedding cakes use rolled fondant within the wedding cake price list, please note, most fondant wedding cakes are not included in the listed pricing. There are many variables to consider and they are too difficult to explain within this information page. A consultation is advised to explain the options and prices associated with each fondant wedding cake. Wedding Cake Price List:Dated as of October 1, 2007
