FAQ
Where are you located?
Village Baking Co is not a retail bakery. I am located in Raymond, Maine and work from my licensed home kitchen. I service the Raymond, Standish, and Gorham area regularly.
Do you deliver?
For special orders: Yes, I offer delivery service as long as my schedule allows me for an additional charge. I can deliver to surrounding towns of Raymond, Maine.
​
For weddings: Yes, I highly recommend that you have your wedding cake and desserts delivered. This will ensure that your cake will make it to your venue in one piece, no headaches necessary on your special day! I charge for delivery according to your venue location. Setup is free of charge when you pay for a delivery charge.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes! We offer tastings for weddings only. These are held on certain dates. At this time we can only offer tastings of cakes. We are a small batch, home kitchen bakery and have no other way to resell what is left from a batch. You can find more information regarding tastings here.
Do you offer allergen free products?
As of right now I only carry a few items that are gluten free. If you have an allergy to nuts please let me know and I will take the proper precautions in my kitchen. My kitchen does contain nuts and I recommend those with severe allergies use their own judgment when eating Village Baking Co products.
How far in advance do we book you?
For special orders: For regular special orders with mulitple items I tend to book out a month prior. During peek wedding season (May-October) this could be longer. For a cake from our "cake line" I tend to book out 1-2 weeks
For Weddings: I book popular wedding dates very quickly so the sooner you would like to secure your date with me the better! Commonly I book 9-12 months out, however I have clients that book up to 18 months in advance. Please don't hesitate to reach out to see if I have availability for your date!​
What is your booking process?
If there is availability for your wedding, we can schedule a tasting and consultation. Once I have your flavors, details and design I am then able to send you an estimate. Upon approval a contract will be made and a 50% deposit will save your date. All final details, updated guest counts, and final payments will be made approximately one month prior to your event.
How do we save the top tier of our wedding cake?
During our consultation I will ask you if you'd like to save your top tier. If yes, I provide a special box for you to preserve your cake. I will give the box to your caterer/event planer (don't worry I never forget this!) as well as let them know you would like to save the top tier. Inside the lid of your cake preserving box will include the instructions on how to freeze it and how to enjoy it a year later. Designate someone trustworthy who won't drop or eat! the cake to grab it at the end of the night. Try to get your cake into the freezer right away. If it has not been preserved properly, do so before freezing.
Will you provide a cake stand for our cake or platters for our desserts?
Yes, I can provide these items for your wedding for an additonal charge! Please reach out during our consultation and I can provide you with a complete list of rentals and a quote based on the items you have chosen. I will bring these while setup takes place, you are responsible for bringing the items back before the following weekend. If you fail to do so the card on file will be charged for these items.
What is your cancelation policy?
All deposites are non-refundable.
Postponement will be addressed case-by-case depending on the availability of your new date.
