Every order is handcrafted based on 15+ years of self-taught mastery. Using cherished family recipes and premium, high-quality ingredients, everything is baked fresh with no shortcuts. We believe your treats should be a piece of edible art that tastes as good as it looks.

Each cake is covered and decorated with my signature homemade buttercream style frosting, crafted for a perfectly smooth, velvety texture. Using only premium icing shortening and high-quality flavorings, it provides a rich, melt-in-your-mouth experience that is never "too much"—the perfect canvas and texture for intricate details.

Unlike many decorated cookies that use a hard, crunchy royal icing, my custom cookies are decorated with a signature soft-set icing that stays soft to the bite and tastes amazing rather than being dry or brittle. Most people are pleasantly surprised that a cookie this detailed can actually be soft and delicious—it’s the perfect balance of art and flavor!

To ensure the integrity of your design, I do not offer cream cheese frosting. It requires constant refrigeration and lacks the structural stability needed for my detailed decorating and artistry. I use a professional-grade signature homemade buttercream specifically to taste great and remain stable and pristine on display, ensuring your cake looks beautiful and stays safe throughout your entire celebration.

Because everything is handcrafted and made fresh to order, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance for custom cookies and cakes. For large events or weddings, 3–6 months is preferred to secure your date on our calendar.

Yes! A picture can be worth a thousand words. We love using "inspiration photos" to understand your vibe!

Yes! I am happy to create custom designs for bachelorette parties, adult birthdays, or "naughty" themed celebrations. To keep my website and social media galleries family-friendly, I do not display these specific designs publicly. However, I am more than comfortable bringing your "adult" vision to life! Simply mention your theme in your initial request, and we can discuss the details privately.

Yes! We offer select Gluten-Free and Lactose-Free options upon request. However, please note that our kitchen handles gluten, dairy, and nuts. While we take every precaution to avoid cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment. We recommend those with severe allergies exercise caution.

To keep our production schedule on track and ensure no details are missed, all order requests must be submitted through our website. For quick questions regarding an existing order, you can find our direct contact information on your secure order link.

Once you submit a request through our website, we will review our production calendar and the details of your design. You can expect a response within 24–48 hours, at which time you will receive a secure invoice link for your order. Your date is officially confirmed on our calendar once the 50% deposit is received.

Part of the Ryan Price Cakes experience is trust in the artistic process! Using your inspiration photos and color palettes as a guide or "vibe," I work more in the moment rather than being bound to a preconceived sketch. My 15+ years of mastery ensures your treats will be beautiful, cohesive, and a unique piece of edible art for your occasion.

We do not recommend the use of fresh flowers on our cakes. Most florist-grade flowers are treated with chemicals and pesticides that are not food-safe. To keep your treats beautiful and safe to eat, we prefer to create handcrafted, edible floral elements with frosting or food-safe alternatives that match your style.

To ensure the food safety and structural integrity of your cake, we prefer to source or create all decorative elements ourselves using edible ingredients as much as possible. If you do have a specific topper you'd like to use, please let us know in your request! We can plan the design so that you can safely incorporate the topper yourself once you have the cake.

All orders are processed through our secure Bakesy shop. We require a 50% deposit to secure your date, with the final balance due prior to pickup. You will receive an invoice link as soon as your order request is accepted.

To keep things easy, our ordering system will send you automated payment reminders 7 days before any payment is due and again on the day payment is due. You can pay directly through the link in those reminders or your order link anytime!

We accept credit card payments processed through Stripe, a leading secure payment system. For your privacy and security, I do not collect or have access to any of your card or account numbers. We also accept Venmo, Cash App, or cash.

Yay! So exciting! That means your date is officially secured on our calendar and the creative process has begun! You will receive an automated reminder 7 days before your invoice balance is due; you can use your custom secure link to pay the remaining balance anytime. From there, I’ll get to work in the kitchen and I will message you, via text or email, the day before your pickup date to confirm our meeting time and location and other details. If I have any specific questions while creating your "edible art," I'll reach out—otherwise, I'll see you at pickup!

For your convenience and easy access, pickups take place at a designated meeting location in the Giant Eagle parking lot (Hebron Rd). I will message you the day before your pickup date to confirm our exact meeting time and provide specific details on where to find me in the lot!

We operate by scheduled pickup windows to ensure each client gets our full attention. If you are running late, please text as soon as possible. Pickups missed by more than 30 minutes may need to be rescheduled for our next available window, as we have a tight production schedule to provide for others.

We understand that life happens! Deposits are non-refundable as they secure your date and allow us to purchase premium ingredients. However, if you notify us at least 7 days in advance, we will do our best to credit your deposit toward a future order within 6 months, subject to our availability.

Currently, we are home based and operate by appointment and pre-order only via ryanpricecakes.com

No. We currently offer local pickup and delivery for the Newark and Licking County area to ensure the freshest quality and prevent breakage.

Because every single cookie and cake is handcrafted and detailed by hand, we do not offer volume discounts. Each piece requires the same amount of time, high-quality ingredients, and artisan skill regardless of the quantity.
