  • Fill out our Wedding Inquiry Form with details about your event. We'll follow up within 72 hours with some more information along with a link to book a tasting with Lisa.

    Feel free to get in touch with us as soon as you're ready. Most couples start the process about 4-6 months in advance, but don't be shy even if you've procrastinated.

  • After your tasting, we'll send you a quote with all the details and a deposit invoice to secure your date.

  • Pay your deposit invoice and sign your agreement to secure your wedding date in our calendar. It's on!

    Your final payment is due 3 weeks before your event date.

    Everything will be ready to go for you and your guests—sweet as can be.

    -Kalia of Minneapolis, MN

  • "We got our wedding cake here—it was delicious and our guests seemed to enjoy it, too. The tasting was fun (we got to take home some options to mix and match [flavors]). We'll need to order a new one every year for our anniversary because we ate it all already!"

    -Anne C. of Minneapolis, MN

  • “Hark is run by two incredibly kind, detail-oriented, skillful chefs who really captured what we wanted for our wedding cake.

    Please let us know if you have a specific ingredient sensitivity or request. We can guide you toward our favorite soy-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free and coconut-free recipes.

    At this time, we are not able to accommodate corn allergies. All of our cake recipes contain coconut.

    As of August 2024, we produce in a commercial facility where common allergens are present. We take immense precautions to ensure everything is sanitized and safely handled to reduce risk of cross-contamination, but the risk is never zero. Items may contain the following allergens: coconut, soy, tree nuts (cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts) and oats.

  • We have more than 20 flavors to choose from, as well as frosting flavors and fillings to go along with them.

    All our cakes and frostings are vegan and gluten-free, and we can also accommodate special requests if you have different food sensitivities or dietary restrictions.

    We're working on a full menu PDF and will link it here when it's ready!

  • We offer a wide range.

    Other than cupcakes, our smallest wedding cake size is a 6-inch 3-layer cake and is very popular for smaller celebrations or to feature along with an assortment of mini desserts.

    Our largest cakes are show-stopping multi-tiered wedding cakes!

  • We offer a few signature Hark decor treatments (like our edible pressed flowers), so let us know if you see something you love from our portfolio.

    Most of our wedding cake decor is customized specifically for each event. During your consultation, we talk about the overall vision for your wedding and cake. Decorations can include edible flowers, glitter and pearls in addition to gorgeous piping. Frosting colors are made with non-synthetic food dyes.

    We can also supply fresh flowers or greenery or work with your florist to decorate your cake during delivery and setup on-site, which is a beautiful way to tie your cake into the overall event decor.

  • After you fill out our wedding inquiry form, co-owner and pastry chef Lisa will be in touch to schedule a cake tasting and consultation.

    You select three cake flavors and we'll prepare a tasting box for you to pick up to try during your (currently virtual) consultation with Lisa.

    We’ll talk about your flavor preferences, design inspiration and any other vision you have for your wedding desserts. It’s very fun!

    If you choose to book with us, the $25 tasting fee is deducted from your final invoice.

  • Yes, we do. If you are not planning on ordering a wedding cake from Hark but are interested in alternative wedding desserts (mini dessert table, pies, etc.), we are happy to organize a dessert sampling in lieu of a cake tasting.

    Let us know this preference in your inquiry!

  • Yes, we offer delivery within the Twin Cities metro for orders of $200+. We may be able to deliver to more distant destinations upon request. 

    Our delivery fee starts at $10 + $1.50 per mile round trip.

    Note: We'll advise during your planning process, but certain cakes (especially large tiered cakes) must be set up on-site so delivery is strongly recommended.

  • We place a high value on the quality and flavor of our ingredients, which is why we never purchase produce out of season. Through local farmers and Co-op Partners Warehouse (CPW), we procure the best ingredients at the peak of their growing season to use fresh. 

    To limit our environmental impact, we order in large quantities once and then use these seasonal ingredients year-round by preserving them through freezing, dehydrating, making jams and jellies, and salt-curing. 

    Even with our signature pressed floral cake decor, we work with trusted local florists, shops and growers to source the most vibrant botanicals for our desserts. (We can also apply flowers and greenery provided by your wedding florist to your cake on-site.)

    • Sourcing locally: We have long-standing relationships with local farmers, from whom we source all of our apples, berries, stone fruits, melons, rhubarb, florals, herbs and squash. For other local items like maple syrup, as well as oils, nuts and dried fruit, we use Co-op Partners Warehouse (CPW) as our supplier. We buy our hazelnuts from a Midwest-based growers collective.

    • Fair Trade: All of our chocolate and coffee products are Fair Trade certified.

    • Organic ingredients: We use only organic sugar, coffee and chocolate. We recognize that the USDA-certified “organic” label is difficult to come by for many small farmers who use organic practices, so we prioritize buying local non-certified produce over imported organic alternatives. 

    • Repurposed materials: We utilize reusable baking tools and materials, compostable materials where available and limit single-use plastics.

  • 1000%, hell yes. We are also LGBTQIA+-owned and operated—and welcome all couples.
