FAQs
How did you come up with the name? My Chocolate Seduction, LLC got it's name because after dreaming for so long about starting my business it was finally the love of chocolate that seduced me into taking that real first step.
How much are your cakes? Because all of our cakes are priced individually by the complexity of their design, we do not have a standard price list. So give us a call and let us know what you would like your cake to look like and some fun info about the person who will receive this wonderful cake. This is made to be edible art.

How much time in advance should I contact you for a cake? It would greatly depend on the design of the cake you would like and the sugar or chocolate work involved. The minimum we would ask for to deliver a simple cake is one week. With that, please call or email with the information we need to get started like the flavor of cake and icing you would like. If there are design elements involving sugar please allow for 3 weeks. Some things may need to be ordered and the sugar needs time to dry and set.
How long can I keep chocolate? Solid Chocolate pieces last longer than ganache (truffles). The chocolate stash pieces will last for a longer time, up to six months (that's the longest I was able to leave them alone). Most chocolate will keep uo to a year. Temperature plays a major part in proper storage. Store your chocolate in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
What about cake bites? Cake bites last for about two weeks if refirgerated. They taste even better if eaten at room temperature.
Why does chocolate sometimes turn grey? Chocolate gets grey when it has fat bloom or sugar bloom. Generally it happens when there is a rapid change in temperature and there is surface moisture in the case of sugar bloom and in the case of fat bloom the cocoa butter separates. It does not change the taste and it is not old or molded as we have heard some people describe it. Bloom can change the texture and mouth fee lof the chocolate.
Do your items contain nuts? Unless specifed my items do not contain nuts. However, If you have a severe nut sensitivity we would not recommend them because they are produced in the same kitchen as items containing nuts.
I don't see my favorite dessert can you create a dessert bite for my event? We can create a specific flavor combination or your favorite cake for your event. Just fill out the contact us form to inquire and we'll get back to you within 48 hours.
Do you deliver? Locally we deliver for a nominal fee. If your cake requires set up there is a flat fee for set up and delivery which will be confirmed when your order is placed.
Can I eat this cake? YES! Please eat the cake. All items on the cake are edible unless specificed. It is meant to be enjoyable art. Take a picture and dig in. Sugar pieces are hard so though they are edible and able to touch your cake they are very hard and can damage your teeth. So be cautious.
Can I keep the sugar cake stand? Yes. Store in a cool dry place. Moisture will weaken and damage it. Keep away from prying hands. It is sugar and is fragile. For best results please remove the cake from the sugar cake stand to cut it.
