5 Tips for Planning Your Custom Cake Order

A custom cake is the centerpiece of a celebration — and a little planning makes the process effortless. Here is what our bakers wish every customer knew.

1. Book Early

Two to three weeks ahead is ideal; wedding cakes deserve six or more.

2. Know Your Serving Count

Guests first, design second — size determines everything else.

3. Bring Inspiration, Stay Flexible

Photos help us understand your taste; our bakers will adapt ideas to what works structurally.

4. Think About Flavor, Not Just Looks

Honey cake, vanilla bean, chocolate ganache — a beautiful cake should taste even better.

5. Ask About Delivery

Tiered cakes travel best with professionals. We’ll advise what’s safest for your venue.
