How much do custom cakes cost?

Custom cakes are an excellent way to make special memories during a birthday party, anniversary celebration, or other event.

Does Costco do custom cakes?

You can order a custom design on a cake from Costco, but ther choices are extremely limited. Depending on the location, the bakery may only be able to write a few words in frosting or put a simple buttercream image like balloons or a cactus.

  • Walmart 
  • Publix
  • HEB
  • Baskin Robbins
  • Sam's Club
  • Whole foods
  • Safeway
  • Albertson's
  • Tour Les Jours

How far in advance should I order a custom cake?

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.

  • Compare prices from at least three local bakeries or stores.
  • Read reviews specifically for custom cake makers on Fash and Google.
  • Look at pictures of their cakes from other customers.
  • Make sure they're able to make the cake by the time you need it.
  • Get a detailed quote in writing.

What questions should I ask cake makers?

  • How long have you been making or decorating cakes?
  • Can you make the cake I want by this date?
  • Is this price for naked cakes or frosted cakes?
  • How large of a cake would you recommend?
  • What type of frosting and fillings do you have?
  • Can you print edible pictures on the cake?
  • Do you have a minimum price or fee?
