Do you do tastings?

​We currently meet clients off-site from our working kitchen at Gainan’s Midtown Floral, on Grand Ave. in Billings. These are held by appointment only and reserved for clients needing a single large dessert for 50 or more guests (Not to be confused with a small cutting cake for the couple and cupcakes) Our sit down consultations are $50, and include a private design meeting with one of our cake sample boxes (which includes 3 cake flavors, our icings, and up to 3 fillings of choice) for you and your partner. We love meeting with our couples, and think it's a really important wedding planning experience. Meeting and discussing likes and dislikes, themes, and event feel helps us to understand and deliver the perfect cake for your occasion. Weekend appointments can be booked 3-4 weeks in advance, we can take weekday appointments before 10 am-1 pm subject to availability.

When do I schedule my tasting and/or consultation?

We recommend scheduling your tasting or consultation no less than 6 months prior to your event date. At the time of scheduling, you will need to send in your tasting fee, if you will want to taste cakes at your consultation. It is generally advisable to have your venue booked before scheduling your tasting.

How do I prepare for my tasting?

The most important way to be prepared is to have an idea of what you want and how much you want to spend. Knowing a price range helps me design a cake in your budget so no time is wasted in creating designs outside that range. Bring inspiration images to give me an idea of how you envision your cake to look like. Also, you will need to know how many people you want to serve, the venue location, and the time of the reception.

What should I bring to my tasting or consultation?

Please bring any inspiration photos you may have found, color swatches of ribbon if you would like to color match, and anything you may want to incorporate into the cake (such as a topper or figurine). Although, if you HAVEN’T purchased anything, please wait until AFTER our meeting to make sure what you want to incorporate will fit the design. Some may not be appropriate for your cake due their weight. Some toppers may not look appropriate on your cake due to their size.

What’s a Groom’s Cake? Do you make those?

Of course! Why should the bride have all the fun!? A groom’s cake is a great way to incorporate a little personality into the dessert table if you are wanting the bridal cake to be strictly more traditional in style. Groom’s cakes are often designed around favorite sports teams, fandoms, pets, or hobbies. They are definitely a great way to add a little wow factor to your event. A groom’s cake is also great to get additional servings for larger weddings, without committing to having a huge bridal cake.

Do you deliver?

Yes. See our General FAQs for a more detailed explanation.

Do you do cake floral arrangements?

Yes, typically I work with the couple on a floral design for the cake, then liaise directly with their hired florist for the needed blooms. The florist will then add the cost of the cake blooms to your FLORAL contract. Florists leave me a vase with blooms on the cake table to arrange at delivery.

If you are not working with a florist, I will use my own sources to purchase the flowers, whether live or artificial. If you are doing your own flowers or Soma flowers, please leave me the appropriate amount of blooms and greenery on the cake table to arrange. I will inform you of the stem need during our consultation, and it will be listed in your contract. Our preferred floral vendors are Macs Floral, Gainan’s Floral, and Stigma and Style.

The cake I want is outside my budget, but I WANT YOU! What can I do?

1. The first thing to do is verify your guest count. Double-checking the RSVPs will not only save you on cake, but on additional party supplies as well. I encourage couples to count on 75% attendance of the total guest count. (i.e. if you invite 100 people, plan on 75 actually attending.)

2. Consider a less intricate or pared-down version of your design or reducing the number of flavor options.

3. Consider a smaller "Centerpiece Cake". This smaller cake can be the focus of the dessert table, while a modest kitchen cake staged elsewhere feeds additional guests.

My wedding has been postponed/canceled! Can I get a refund?

We understand that sometimes life doesn't go as planned. However, a wedding date is reserved specifically for each couple; therefore we must turn other clients away who also desire your chosen date. Should you request a date change, it is likely that Bluebird Sweets would not be able to recover the lost income. As such, we cannot issue any refunds. We can allocate the dedicated funds to another available date or event type. We request a minimum of 60 days’ notice plus a 20% service fee should you choose to reschedule your wedding or other large event.

Do you have payment plans?

Yes, wedding cakes are often a big purchase! We are happy to accept monthly payments for cakes over $200. The final payment is due 1 month prior to the wedding.
