You should order a custom cake at least 1 to 4 weeks before your celebration. The exact timeline for ordering a custom cake will depend on how popular the bakery is, whether it's a busy season, and how much staff they have.

Can I return a custom cake?

No, you typically can't retuan a cake once they hand it over to you for food safety reasons. However, some bakeries will offer a partial or full refund if there's something wrong with the cake.

It was a pleasure to work with a company with so much insight into menu options that would work best for what we had in mind and for an outdoor venue. The food selections were perfect! Also appreciated were the attention to detail with décor provided for the event and flexibility with some last-minute menu changes.
