Congratulations on Your Engagement!

We are beyond excited to join you on this sweet journey as you plan your special day. With years of experience creating unforgettable wedding dessert experiences, we know how crucial every detail is to making your celebration both delicious and memorable.

To get started, we’ve created an easy-to-follow questionnaire that will help us craft the perfect dessert spread for your big day. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Complete the questionnaire below with all the details of your dream wedding desserts.

Step 2: Within 48 hours of submitting the form, we’ll send you a detailed quote along with a link to schedule your personalized tasting session.

Step 3: At the tasting, we’ll review your quote together and give you the opportunity to make any changes or provide feedback. Our expert cake decorators will also discuss your dessert’s aesthetic, ensuring it aligns with your vision.

Step 4: To secure your date, we require a phone consultation OR a wedding tasting and 50% non-refundable deposit based on your initial quote. You’ll have the flexibility to make adjustments up to one month before your event, ensuring everything is perfect when the big day arrives.

Step 5: Once everything is finalized, all that’s left to do is say “I do” and enjoy your day surrounded by loved ones and scrumptious desserts!

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but don’t worry—we’re here to make the dessert planning as stress-free as possible. Let’s turn your sweet dreams into a reality!

Warm regards,

The Pearl's Bake Shoppe Catering Team

Delivery.

We will deliver up to an hour away from our bakery (5811 Patterson Avenue, Richmond, VA 23226). Delivery is priced based on the distance from the bakery, starting at $60. Additional charges apply for 3- and 4-tiered cake deliveries, as well as on-site decorations and set-up.

Schedule a Tasting.

We offer two types of tastings. Both tasting options take about an hour, and you will receive a full consultation and quote.

Complimentary Tasting: You will arrive at the bakery at the time you schedule. You can taste any 4 dessert options we have available that day in the bakery. Most days, we have 17 different cupcake options, along with many types of cookies, brownies, and other assorted treats to choose from. If you have a gluten allergy, we have 4 cake flavors available every day, along with numerous icing and cookie options. If you are vegan, we have 4 cake flavors and 4 icing flavors available every day.

Paid Tasting: Perfect for couples with specific dietary needs or flavor preferences. The $40 paid tasting (per couple) must be scheduled at least one week in advance. You'll select four of our specialty cupcakes from our Master Cupcake List, and can sample anything else available in the bakery. Please note that paid tastings are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
