Wedding Cakes: Getting Started

Cake Design Consultations

American Dream Cakes has been making beautiful and delicious tasting wedding cakes throughout Eastern North Carolina since 2001. We work with each couple individually to make their wedding cake personalized and unique. We recommended you schedule your consultation appointment early as most dates close 6-12 months out.

The first Consultation is free and includes up to 60 minutes of going over the couple’s wishes for design, size, colors, flavors etc. Our cake designer will draw up a simple sketch of the cake, answer questions, make recommendations etc. It is helpful if you have floral, colors, and theme (if any) decisions made prior to your consultation. Quote(s) will be given at the consult or emailed if needed. If more time is needed or a second consult is desired, a $25.00 per started hour fee will apply.

We are a custom cake shop and as such we bake all cakes fresh and decorate wedding cakes the day of your event to ensure you get the freshest possible product. We believe your cake should not only be beautiful, it should also taste delicious!

We cannot book weddings cakes until you have booked your venue and the time of your ceremony/reception is confirmed. This is to avoid possible scheduling delivery conflicts. The delivery option is only available for 3-tier or larger cakes (fees apply outside of Jacksonville), smaller cakes and or cupcakes must be picked up at the bakery.

Bookings are made on a first-come, first-pay basis. Wedding cakes serving 50 or more start at $300 but can range up to $30 per serving, depending on the shape, detail, and design. To contract a design, a 50% retaining fee (non-refundable) is required with the balance payment due 30 days prior to the event.

We take great pleasure in helping you create the signature detail of your event, Your wedding cake!
