Custom cake pricing is determined by numerous factors such as the cake size, cake flavor(s), fillings, icing, intricacy of the design, additional supplies and internal structuring needed, packaging, and labor. Due to all these varying components, cakes are priced on an individual basis.
Do you offer delivery?
Delivery may be available if there is availability during the requested window of time. (Window of time must be at least 30 minutes) deliveries must be within a 50 mile radius of Odenton. Conjested areas such as downtown DC and downtown Baltimore have an additional fee. As do deliveries that require the use of a parking garage, tolls or meter parking.
If you want to inquire about delivery and its fee, you will need to mention interest at the time of submitting your order request. You can state it in "notes to baker" or in any of the "special requests" sections. You will need to provide the address that is receiving the delivery, the window of time alloted for the delivery to be received. The type of venue it is (ex. home, apartment, community center, restaurant, event venue, hotel, conference center, office building, etc.) And name if not a residence. If there is availability in the schedule for the delivery a quote for the delivery will be provided to you along with your order request quote. If delivery is not possible it will be noted in the message to you with your order quote.
How far in advance should I place an order?
I require a minimum of 10 days advance notice for orders. But encourage customers to place further out to ensure that any specialty items needed for the cake, such as custom toppers and other outsourced supplies, can be ordered and received in a timely manner.
How do I transport my cake
Cake should be transported on a flat surface...( such as) floor or trunk, which are the most stable spaces for this.
If you must put your cake on a seat it's best to roll up a floor mat or a coat, purse or blanket/towel to place in the angled space so that you are creating as level a resting place as possible. It is NOT recommended that a passenger hold a cake.
Car should be cool.....almost an ice box cold during the summer and super warm days to prevent icing from softening, which can cause the cake to shift or sag during transport.
During winter months, vehicles should not be warmer than room temperature. And no direct heat should be blowing on the cake box.
It is NOT recommended to run errands after picking up the cake.
Take your time when driving.
If need be turn on your hazard lights. Try to avoid hard stops and slamming on your brakes, go slow over bumps, and slow down, taking turns.
Give yourself enough time between pick up time and event start time so you are not rushing.
If sending someone to pick up in your place, choose someone who is a cautious driver. Don't send the lead foot friend who will forget they have a cake in the car, lol
Will my order be OK for the next day if I pick up a day ahead?
Yes
Your order will still be fresh if you pick up a day or two ahead of time. You'll want to store your order properly until the event. Care instructions will be provided to you. Please make sure to review all of the information thoroughly. If you have any questions, just ask.
Is a deposit required
Yes, a deposit is required. The deposit is 50% of the full total of the order.
