A Slice of Art

Last reviewed: August 8, 2026. Business status: Active.

A Slice of Art is a custom-order cake studio to consider when comparing Red Deer wedding cakes. Its confirmed official website identifies cake designer Oriol, shows an extensive wedding portfolio and documents custom cakes, cupcakes, consultations through its contact process, tastings and delivery. The studio says its cakes are made from scratch and describes Swiss meringue buttercream, fondant work and handmade decorative details among its approaches.

This profile was last reviewed on August 8, 2026. The official identity is confirmed through the business name, Red Deer cake context, wedding gallery and matching current phone number on asliceof-art.com. The website originally attached to the Canada Wedding Guide record belongs to an unrelated industrial-supplies company, so it has been replaced here with the verified A Slice of Art domain. No street address is shown on the confirmed official site; appointments must therefore be arranged directly rather than treating the studio as a walk-in shop.

Services and specialization

A Slice of Art focuses on individually designed cakes and cupcakes rather than ready-made retail products. Its portfolio separates wedding work from birthday, anniversary, baby-shower and cupcake galleries. The wedding gallery presents examples of tiered, buttercream, fondant, lace-inspired, marbled, floral, rustic and unconventional designs. Portfolio images demonstrate previous work, but couples should still ask whether a particular technique or scale is available for their date.

The official FAQ says clients may provide an inspirational design and that each order is tailored to the event. Cakes are described as scratch-made with ingredients such as butter, milk and eggs. The studio uses Swiss meringue buttercream but says another icing can be discussed according to the client’s preference. Sugar flowers are made from edible gum paste, although the flowers contain wrapped wires and are not meant to be eaten.

• Custom wedding cakes and cupcakes
• Individual design discussions using inspiration photos and colour swatches
• Appointment-based cake tastings
• Delivery within Red Deer and distance-based delivery outside the city
• Delivery recommended by the studio for some larger tiered cakes

Design, flavours and dietary requests

The published flavour list includes vanilla, almond, raspberry, strawberry, orange, banana, lemon, coconut, pumpkin, cream cheese, pistachio, confetti, chocolate, red velvet and carrot. Listed fillings include vanilla or chocolate buttercream and flavoured buttercreams such as salted caramel, tart lemon, raspberry, strawberry, banana and passionfruit. Fudge, marshmallow and cream-cheese fillings are identified as specialty choices that may cost more.

A dairy- and egg-free chocolate recipe is available. This is not the same as an allergen-free facility: the official FAQ expressly says the cake studio is not dairy-free, although equipment and tools are separated and sanitized for that order. Couples managing allergies, intolerances, vegan requirements or coeliac disease should disclose every restriction and obtain a clear explanation of ingredients and cross-contact controls before ordering.

Service area and who it may suit

The website confirms delivery within Red Deer and offers delivery outside the city using a distance-based charge. It does not publish a maximum travel radius or name other communities. Couples planning an event beyond Red Deer should provide the exact venue address and ask whether delivery and on-site setup are feasible.

The studio may suit couples seeking a one-off design, detailed sugar work, fondant or buttercream finishes, cupcakes, or a guided tasting appointment. It may be less convenient for someone wanting a walk-in bakery: designer orders are custom-only, the studio is available by appointment and its street address is not published on the official website.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented strengths include a sizeable wedding portfolio, scratch-made cakes, a broad published flavour list, design collaboration and defined tasting and delivery processes. The tasting appointment includes time to discuss the wedding design, and clients are invited to bring inspiration photos and colour swatches. The studio also explains how tiered cakes are dowelled and advises flat transport rather than carrying a tiered cake on a vehicle seat.

Important limitations are primarily gaps in published information. The site does not provide complete wedding-cake rates, package inclusions, minimum orders, maximum delivery distance or a public studio address. It also says exact colour matching cannot be guaranteed. Dietary accommodation is limited by the shared studio environment, and the portfolio should not be interpreted as a promise that every pictured size or technique is currently available.

Pricing

Current wedding-cake pricing is not explicitly published. The official FAQ says custom quotes depend on cake size, design intricacy and flavour choice, with the final price determined after the design is settled. Chocolate, red velvet and carrot may cost extra per tier, as may specialty fillings.

Several related fees are published. A studio tasting is listed at $75 and includes four cake flavours and four fillings; payment is due before the appointment. The stated duration is approximately one to one-and-a-half hours. Tasting party packs are listed at $68 for ten flavours and five filling choices, with pickup offered twice yearly in April and September. Delivery within Red Deer is listed at $30. Delivery outside Red Deer starts at $50 plus $1.50 per kilometre for the round trip. Couples should obtain a dated written quote because the site does not state taxes, setup charges or full wedding-order totals.

Contact and booking

The confirmed phone number is (403) 596-2195. The official site also lists sliceof_art@shaw.ca and provides an online enquiry form. The form requests the event type, theme, required servings and the customer’s contact information. There is no published walk-in location; visits are by appointment only.

A non-refundable retainer is required when booking, but the website does not publish its amount or the complete cancellation and rescheduling terms. The FAQ says a week or more is typically best for a general cake and that more time is needed during peak wedding season. It does not provide a guaranteed wedding lead time, so availability should be checked as early as practical.

• Share the wedding date, venue and required serving count in the first enquiry.
• Include design references, preferred colours, flavours and dietary concerns.
• Request a written breakdown of cake, tasting, delivery, setup and specialty-flavour charges.
• Confirm the retainer amount and when the remaining balance is due.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a retainer, confirm that the wedding date and venue fall within the studio’s availability and delivery range. Ask who will deliver and assemble the cake, when setup will occur, what table conditions are required and whether the quoted distance charge is calculated from the studio to the venue and back.

Finalize the serving count, tier structure, flavours, fillings, icing, decorative elements and colour expectations in writing. Confirm which decorations must be removed before cutting, particularly wired gum-paste flowers or internally supported figures. Couples should also ask about outdoor or warm-weather display limits, storage instructions, venue access, cake-stand arrangements and responsibility for moving the cake after setup.

For dietary needs, request an ingredient and cross-contact discussion rather than relying only on the dairy- and egg-free recipe statement. Finally, verify the total price, taxes, payment schedule, change deadline, cancellation terms and what happens if the event date or design changes.
