Here are some things you should know about ordering a cake for your special celebration from Kendall’s Cakes:

Orders are only taken over the telephone, not placed on the internet. Kendall needs to speak with you to be sure she makes you the perfect cake.

All cakes begin at $8 per serving. The minimum number of servings is 30.

Intricate designs and /or sugar flowers will cost more.

Cakes hand painted by Raye Leith are $15 per serving.

Washington, D.C. area delivery and set up charge is $45. If you live really far away, it will cost more.

Please order early, at least one month in advance, as Kendall limits her orders so that she can give each cake the time and attention it deserves. Her schedule fills up quickly. Next thing you know, it’s August.

And Kendall doesn’t work in August. She gets in her car with her four kids, and three dogs, and yes, her husband - and goes far away for the whole month to read and play and think about anything but cakes and stare off into the night sky…

Hey, that would make a beautiful cake…
