order and reservation

How to order?

You can place an order using the site’s contact form, by telephone at +33 7 49 38 95 10 or by email at brindevanillepatisserie@gmail.com. Do not hesitate to tell us the date of your event and the number of guests.

How long does it take to place an order?

It all depends on your event and the season.
I recommend that you book as early as possible, ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for a wedding and at least 3 weeks in advance for other events (birthdays, baptisms, etc.).

How much does a personalized cake cost?

The price depends on several factors: the size of the cake (number of pieces), the desired composition, and the complexity of the decoration.
Each project is unique: a personalized quote will be offered to you after an initial discussion.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes, the minimum is 20 pieces for any personalized cake order.

about cake design

What is a cake designer?

A cake designer is an artisan pastry chef specializing in the creation of exceptional cakes, entirely personalized for unique events (weddings, baptisms, birthdays, etc.).
It is an artistic profession, which requires advanced technical know-how, hours of practice, and great aesthetic sensitivity.

Why are designer cakes expensive?

Each cake requires between 8 to 30 hours of work, or even more depending on the complexity of the project.
Everything is homemade, without preservatives, from noble ingredients, with decorations made entirely by hand (sugar flowers, modeling, etc.).
Cake design also requires a significant investment in equipment, continuing training and creation time.

Do you work with fresh products?

Yes, all my creations are made from local and seasonal products, without artificial flavors or preservatives.
I favor reasonable sweetening, to allow the natural flavors to fully express themselves.

Do you make less sweet cakes?

Yes, my recipes are deliberately less sweet than traditional American cake design recipes, to favor balance and French indulgence.

transport, delivery and tasting

How do I transport my cake?

Your cake must remain in its transport box, placed flat on the floor of the vehicle, preferably on the passenger side.
Turn on the air conditioning if possible to avoid thermal shock.

Do you offer delivery?

Yes, a delivery service is offered for greater peace of mind, especially for large rooms or events.
Delivery is available upon estimate depending on the distance and conditions of access to the place of reception.

How do I cut my cake?

A designer cake cannot be cut “into pieces of camembert”!
A technical sheet and a cutting plan will be provided to you to ensure optimal cutting and maintain the beauty of your service.

How does the meeting and tasting take place?

This is the ideal opportunity to discuss your project over tea or coffee, taste several flavors, and define the design of your cake together.
Please note, places are limited, remember to book quickly.
