Am I required to book Honeybee?
The Schnepf and Honeybee partnership began on February 4, 2025. If you booked after this date, I’m so excited to be creating your wedding desserts! If you booked before February 4, you’re not required to use Honeybee, but you’re still welcome to enjoy the full Schnepf/Honeybee menu and pricing.
When do I need to book?
Couples are required to book their dessert package by the halfway point between their Schnepf Farms booking date and their wedding date. For example, if Schnepf Farms is booked on January 1 and the wedding date is December 1, the dessert package must be booked by June 1. The sooner you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with payment plans and the more time we’ll have to plan all the fun details together without any last-minute pressure.
How do tastings work?
Tastings are hosted by Honeybee at Schnepf Farms once every 2-3 months and are designed to give couples the opportunity to sample a wide variety of Honeybee Cake Co. offerings.
Because tastings are held in a group setting, couples are able to taste the majority of our cake flavors, buttercreams, and fillings, as well as sample many of the desserts we offer. Hosting tastings in bulk allows us to provide a broader selection than would typically be possible in a one-on-one tasting, helping couples confidently choose their flavors and dessert combinations.
Most couples book their dessert package prior to attending a tasting, then finalize flavors during the tasting.
What is the required minimum?
Honeybee Cake Co. has a required minimum for all Schnepf Farms weddings. The minimum order is the lowest cost dessert package offered, calculated based on the couple’s full estimated guest count. This approach ensures every guest is accounted for and fully served, and once this minimum is met, couples are welcome to incorporate additional desserts from outside vendors if desired.
Do you offer vegan, gluten-free or dairy-free options?
Absolutely! We offer dairy-free, gluten-friendly, and vegan cake options. Please note that dairy-free buttercream doesn’t harden in the same way as traditional buttercream, so it may not provide the necessary structure for tiered cakes. If you and your fiancé require special dietary accommodations, but would like your guests to enjoy traditional dairy or gluten products, you can simply add a small cutting cake with your specific preferences. If you prefer for all of your guests to enjoy a dairy free buttercream, selecting a small cutting cake with sheet cakes is the best option! Please note that while we do our best to accommodate dietary needs, your cake is created in a bakery that produces wheat and dairy products, cross-contamination is possible.
Are cake/dessert stands included?
Stands are included with dessert bars and cake dessert tables. Our friends at Schnepf will collect them at the end of the evening, so there’s no need to worry about returning them!
Need a stand for your bespoke cake? No problem. Just let me know and Honeybee will be happy to lend you one!
What is the payment structure for your packages?
A retainer is due upon signing the contract to secure your date. Depending on the package you choose, the remaining balance can be split into payments throughout the planning process, with the final balance due one month before the wedding day. Couples are also welcome to pay in full at any time. We’re happy to offer flexibility and help create a payment plan that feels comfortable for you.
What happens if I hire you for one package but realize I need more or want to change my package?
Couples are welcome to increase their dessert count or upgrade their package as plans evolve. We just ask for a minimum of 45 days’ notice to allow adequate time for planning, ordering, and preparation.
Do I need to complete my tasting before booking?
Not at all! Many couples already have a clear vision for their desserts before the tasting. We can secure your booking as soon as you’ve decided on the direction you’d like to take. The flavor selection can be left blank, and I’ll update it after the tasting. This streamlines the booking process, and I can recommend specific items to try based on what you've booked. If you decide to upgrade your selection after the tasting, any deposit paid will simply be applied toward the new balance.
What if I want to bring in a dessert that you don't offer?
No problem at all! As long as the minimum package requirements for your final guest count are met, you’re welcome to bring in an additional dessert. Please note, Honeybee will not be responsible for setting up or managing any outside desserts.
I've already tasted a Honeybee cake and know exactly what I want. Do I need a tasting?
Tastings aren’t required! Even if you’ve never tasted a Honeybee cake and are too busy for a tasting, I’m more than happy to recommend amazing pairings and our most popular options.
How much is delivery/setup?
The delivery and setup fee is included in the dessert bar option. For cake orders, delivery fee is not included, as larger cakes may require more time and attention for setup. You can expect the delivery/setup fee for bespoke cakes to range from $40 to $100, just depending on how large the cake is!
