Yes. Sugar Couture has a long history creating bespoke wedding cakes and custom confections for private clients. The studio's artisanal craft applies equally to intimate personal commissions and large-scale corporate projects.

Each Sugar Couture cake is a one-of-a-kind creation. Penny works intuitively with each client to weave their story, aesthetic, and experiences into an original edible work of art. No two cakes are the same, and the result reflects the client's vision while carrying Penny's distinct artistic sensibility.

Timelines are determined with the scope of the project. Small projects can be turned around in 2-3 weeks, but ideally 4-6 weeks is preferred.

The process begins with a consultation to discuss the project's vision, aesthetic references, event context, and technical requirements. Penny develops a design concept and works with the client through revisions before production begins.

It is helpful to share your event date, estimated guest count or project scale, a sense of the aesthetic or brand direction, and any reference imagery. For corporate clients, including a project brief or RFP helps Penny respond with relevant context.

From time to time, we are able to accommodate rush orders, though our work is best when proper time is allocated to the creation. Rush fees may apply.

Yes.

We ship throughout the United States.

Pricing for Sugar Couture commissions is based on the scope, scale, and complexity of each project. Because every piece is a custom creation, pricing is discussed during the consultation process.
