We do charge additional fees for customized designs.  Example: You would like a graduation cake with a 5 X 7 picture of the graduate as well as "Congratulations" on the image. The image fee would be as follows: $5.00 for image + set-up fee ($10.00) + design time ($20.00/ hour)= $35.00 for the 5 X 7 Edible picture of your graduate on a cake.

We will email a sample image back for your final approval. Once your approval has been given, the image will be printed and applied to your order.

We request that any custom image order be placed at least three weeks in advance of the intended delivery date. Less notification will result in rush charges that will be based on the number of images needed and the complexity of the design. Typically, double the standard custom image design process.
