FAQ

Do you have a catalog with additional samples, sizes, and photographs?

Since all of our cakes are custom-made to individual specifications, no catalog per se is available. Our website is designed to give an introduction to our style and services.

I don't see any prices. How much do your cakes cost?

It’s impossible to offer a hard-and-fast price list, since each cake incorporates so many variables. We take into account the number of servings, the complexity of diverse design elements, and particulars important to the celebrants.

What do you require to design a custom cake?

We can work with a theme, party invitation, color swatches or a photo for inspiration. However, we do not make copies of cakes from other cake designers. Your cake will not exactly match something from a photo. We take pride in designing our own cakes.

Do you offer cake tastings for a wedding cake?

We offer Cake Tasting Consultation (€200) as well as Cake Tasting Set (€50). More details here

When may I come for a tasting? Are you open weekends/holidays/evenings?

We try to accommodate everyone’s schedule, but most appointments are made during business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Exceptions can be made.

When should I book my cake?

We do not like to rush clients into making hasty decisions and we encourage research. However, we cannot guarantee availability. Most couples book our services six months to a year before their event.

How do I book my cake?

At Yiamy® Studio, each order is individually created and therefore we can only accommodate limited number of clients. For all orders we strongly suggest to contact us as soon as possible. Last minute orders, especially during peak season, are not guaranteed. To reserve the date, 100% deposit (non refundable) is required. More details here

May I come to observe you at work? May I work for you?

We love to accommodate other confectionery artists and enjoy meeting professional chefs from around the world. However, because of time constraints and deadlines, we usually cannot have visitors while we create our cakes. We are, however, always on the lookout for talented individuals to join our team. We accept resumes from potential employees (artistic and creative backgrounds are preferred) with previous experience in the culinary field. More details here

Do you teach classes?

We offer private classes to those who wish to develop their cake design skills. All courses are taught by Alina Berezovskaya personally and are tailored to your needs, focusing on areas you wish to improve. More details here

I loved a seven-tier cake that I saw in a magazine. I'd like it for my wedding, but to serve thirty-five guests. Can you make adjustments to the cake?

Not every cake that appears in a magazine is ideal for a real-life celebration. Just as in couture fashion shows, silhouettes are often presented on the runway (in this case, in the press) to illustrate trends, new styles, and fresh ideas. Not every design will scale up or down with success, and some structures require a different minimum number of servings. As always, we’ll do our creative best to present you with a few options and choices.

Do you do other kinds of special-event cakes?

We very much enjoy creating all kinds of special-occasion cakes. It’s a great pleasure to be part of our clients’ celebrations throughout the years, whether for anniversaries, christenings or birthdays. Not surprisingly, we think cake is the perfect accompaniment to all of life’s celebrations…and we hope you do, too. You can see our portfolio of Designer Celebration Cakes here
