Good questions

Custom cake FAQ

Why do you recommend choosing a standard cake instead of customizing?+

Our signature cake collection has been carefully designed to suit a wide variety of occasions and styles. In most cases, these options offer a faster turnaround, predictable pricing, and beautiful results — without the added complexity of full customization.

Is a custom cake the right choice for me?+

Custom cakes are ideal only when your vision cannot be achieved through any of our standard offerings. If your needs are flexible or aesthetic-focused, we highly recommend browsing our signature designs first — they're more cost-effective and easier to book.

How much should I budget for a fully custom cake?+

Custom cakes start at $120, and most designs range between $180–$450+ depending on size and complexity. If you're looking for a lower-cost option, our standard cakes are the better fit. The average price of a customized cake last year was $289.23.

Why are custom cakes more expensive?+

Custom cakes require additional time for consultation, design, sourcing, and craftsmanship. Every element is tailored to your request, which naturally increases both labor and material cost. We always quote honestly based on what it takes to bring your vision to life.

Can I slightly modify a standard cake instead of going fully custom?+

Absolutely! If you just want a small change — like a different message or a color variation — please contact us directly before submitting a custom request. In many cases, small tweaks can be handled without going through the full design process.

When should I place my custom cake request?+

We recommend submitting your request about 25 days in advance, with a minimum of 10 days before your date, to ensure availability and adequate preparation time. Earlier is always better for busy dates.

Can I submit a request if my event is in less than 5 days?+

Unfortunately, we are unable to review any inquiries submitted within 5 days of the required date. You will not receive a reply if your form falls within this window.

Request form

Request your custom cake

Please note before you request

  • Custom work starts at $120. For very simple or plain designs, our standard collection is usually the better value — we'd recommend browsing it first.
  • We only make decorated cakes — we don't offer plain, undecorated cakes.
  • We don't offer cake tastings.
  • We recreate the design you share with us, so please include a reference image — we don't offer a separate, from-scratch design service.

Communication: Custom orders are handled by email only — we don't offer phone or in-person consultations. We may call you only to confirm final details.

Orders: Submitting a request is not an order and doesn't mean we've accepted it. Your order is confirmed only after we reply to confirm and your payment is completed.
