Q: Does Weddings by Sinful Cheesecake Company ship Wedding Cheesecakes?
A: We are sorry to report that we currently do not ship Cheesecakes or the cake dummies.
Q: Do you ship Wedding Cheesecakes?
A: No. First, because of the above shipping difficulties. And, second because the decorated cakes are so fragile. We are not willing to risk shipment.
Q: How long can Cheesecakes be refrigerated?
A: We recommend only one week in the refrigerator and no longer.
Q: How long can Cheesecakes be frozen?
A: Up to 3 months.
Q: What is the average cost for a wedding with about 200 guests?
A: Though there are many variables to a wedding estimate... dependant upon whether or not there is a tiered/iced/decorated cake and how detailed the design is... we often tell Brides that the average cost starts at $365 for an all Cheesecake wedding with no iced cake to serve 200. Which makes the per serving price about $1.80 per serving. With the addition of an iced/tiered/decorated cake... you can add $100 to $400 to the total...
Q: Do you charge a delivery charge for weddings?
A: Although most wedding deliveries are within our free delivery area... Occasionally a wedding will be outside our delivery area & we need to charge a fee. Although, should the wedding require more than an hour of travel... then, there will be a larger fee based on time that our staff will be on the road.
Q: Can I pick up my Cheesecakes?
A: Yes. We have had several couples pick up their wedding/party order. We just need to pre-arrange a pick up time with you to be sure that your order is packaged and ready to go.

A: We package all our Cheesecakes in heavy duty corrugated, food safe boxes. Then we place the boxes in our coolers with ice packs.
Q: Can I sample specific flavors at a Consultation/Tasting?
A: We always we feed you when you come for a consultation and tasting. And, we are aware that traditional cake bakers often provide samples of desired flavors at a tasting. But, due to the cost of supplies for Cheesecake and our limited storage space, we aren't able to offer a variety of flavors at a tasting. Our goal is to keep our over head low so we can keep our pricing competitive which benefits you. With all that said, we often sample our Plain Cheesecake as it is the base for all our other flavors.

A: Yes. But, we recommend wrapping them in plastic wrap and putting them back into their boxes and wrapping the boxes with plastic wrap to keep odors from permeating the Cheesecake.
