The Sweet Spot

Welcome to The Sweet Spot, the blog from Edgar's Bakery.

This is where we answer the questions our customers actually ask us — usually at the counter, often on the phone, sometimes about a cake they need by Saturday.

How far in advance should you order a custom cake? How much wedding cake do you need for 150 guests? Which of our flavors travel well, and which ones need to stay cold? What does it cost to feed twenty people breakfast?

You'll find straight answers here, along with flavor guides, serving charts, seasonal ideas, and what we've learned about catering, weddings, and shipping a cake across the country.

We've been baking from scratch in Alabama since 1998, and we have 11 locations across the state. If your question isn't answered here, call us at 205.987.0790 — we'd rather talk it through.
