Do you offer gluten-free, dairy-free, or other dietary accommodations?+
Yes — gluten-friendly, dairy-free, and egg-free options are available with advance notice on most cakes and pies. Our Columbia City kitchen handles wheat, dairy, and nuts, so we cannot guarantee a fully allergen-free environment, but we will accommodate restrictions wherever possible.
Do you deliver, or is everything pickup-only?+

Do you have a minimum order for catering?+
For dessert catering across the Fort Wayne metro, we ask for at least 25 servings to keep small-batch pricing fair. Larger spreads — corporate events, weddings, holiday parties — are quoted individually. We recommend 7–10 days notice for catering orders, longer for groups over 75.
