Frequently Asked Questions

Are you licensed and insured?

Shannon Turner Cakes is fully licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, maintains a Cobb County Business License, a food safety certification, and carries liability insurance as well.
What is your pricing?

My buttercream cakes start at $6 per serving and fondant cakes start at $10 per serving with a $150 order minimum. Custom cakes are priced individually, according to flavors, number of servings, and design intricacy. Due to their fragile nature, all wedding cakes are priced to include delivery and setup as extra insurance against damage during the transportation process.
Do you offer custom designs?

I specialize in creating unique designs that fit the theme, color-scheme, and design aesthetic of your special event. Determining cake size and overall configuration is an important part of the design process. Based on your anticipated guest count, I will help you to determine the perfect cake size and number of tiers to meet your serving needs with consideration for beautiful design.
What dietary accommodations can you make?

My kitchen is not dedicated allergen-free, so I am unable to accommodate dietary needs for health reasons. However, I am able to accommodate dietary preferences for gluten-free, dairy-free, and peanut/tree-nut-free cakes upon request. Please note that, because my kitchen is not dedicated allergen-free, there is always the risk of cross contamination due to particulates in the air. At this time, I am unable to make accommodations for allergies or other health and safety needs requiring the complete avoidance of certain ingredients.
Where are you located? Can I stop by?

Shannon Turner Cakes is near I-575 and Bells Ferry Road. I work from a dedicated cake studio adjacent my home, so I only offer in-person consults and tastings by appointment and do not offer cakes available for purchase in my studio.
How do I schedule a wedding cake tasting?

My wedding cake tasting experience lasts about an hour and includes: A two-person wedding cake tasting, including five flavors of cake with a variety of buttercreams and fillings, and sparkling water Design exploration to review your inspiration photos, details of your wedding décor, and discuss your style and what moves you in wedding cake design A rough sketch process to determine the size, shape, and configuration of your wedding cake, as well as any design elements you would like to include To facilitate the design exploration process of your consultation experience, your wedding venue, wedding date, and a large percentage of your design details should be determined before you schedule your wedding cake tasting and consultation. Please send an inquiry via the form on the page titled "Inquire" at the top of the menu bar to schedule a cake tasting with me.
When should I get in touch for an upcoming event?

Wedding cake inquiries should be made as soon as you have booked your venue to ensure availability for your date. Any other custom order inquiries should be made as early as possible, but at least three weeks in advance to guarantee availability for your date and adequate time for the creation of your cake.
