Our cakes are one-of-a-kind creations, made and decorated by people,
not machines. That's what makes them so wonderful! All menu items are
subject to availability and the artistic interpretation of the decorator in
the receiver's area.
Standard Personalization
Your message will be inscribed in icing on the cake as written in the
Cake Message field of your order, within space limitations as defined
in Cake Notes below. If you abbreviate words in your message when
placing your order, the decorator may abbreviate on the cake as well.
Please spell out your message using correct grammar, capitalization and
punctuation. Be sure to include the recipient's name in the custom cake
message. For example, “Happy Birthday John”. Messages that are not
family friendly may be modified.
Standard Decorations
Standard decorations include flowers, balloons, confetti, streamers
or generally festive along with a border or trim around the cake. We recommend
that you enter two colors of your choice or the decorators array of
pastel, primary, jewel tones, vivid colors, or seasonal, holiday or occasion
colors when ordering. (For example, if you ask us to decorate for the
occasion, a baby shower cake would usually be decorated in pink and baby
blue.) Not all colors are available in all locations. Each cake is individually
decorated by the decorator in the receiver’s area, so decorative styles
will vary.
Substitutions
We reserve the right to substitute a like item of equal or greater
value in order to fulfill your delivery. This may include, but is not
limited to, upgrading your cake to include a filling, increasing the
size or number of layers, and minor modifications to the cake, filling,
or icing flavor if necessary.
Same Day Orders (Priority Rush Service)

Rush Service Fee. Please select the appropriate service fee when placing
your order online and we recommend that you call our Order Line 9836-4444 to place your rush order. If we are unable to process
your request, we will credit your account for the difference in the fee.

day will be subject to Rush/Next Day Service Fee. We recommend you call

Saturday Delivery
We offer Saturday deliveries in most areas.

Holiday Orders
Holidays such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas are a
busy time for our decorators. Please order early for holiday deliveries.
Holiday delivery is subject to availability in the receiver's area.
Holiday orders are typically scheduled for delivery a few days prior to
the holiday.
Surprise Deliveries Not Guaranteed
While we hope to make each cake delivery a special event, we typically
call the receiver to confirm they will be available during the
scheduled delivery time and discuss directions if needed. We generally
tell the receiver we have a gift delivery for them. Often we must
identify ourselves, and our company name may
indicate the gift is a cake . In addition, sometimes the
receiver will ask the name of the person sending the gift. While
surprises are fun, we must also be aware that people are understandably
cautious and respect their concerns. If the gift must be a surprise,
please enter the contact and delivery information for another person at
the delivery address who can coordinate the delivery with the baker. We
are unable to guarantee the surprise.
Receiver Availability
Please ensure the recipient will be available at the delivery address
on the selected delivery day. Unlike flowers, cakes and cookies cannot
be left at the door. Someone must be available to accept the gift. In
addition, we must be able to reach the recipient or an alternate contact
at the delivery address prior to delivery. Receiver’s cell phone
numbers are very useful in coordinating a delivery. If the baker is unable
to reach the receiver prior to delivery, the delivery may be delayed until
contact is made.
Attempted Delivery
If we attempt delivery and no one is available to accept the gift, the
gift will be taken back to the factory and the receiver may make arrangements
to pick it up.
Cake Delivery Alternatives/Changes
At your request or at our discretion, the gift may be left
with a responsible person such as a neighbor, security office, apartment
manager, etc. Otherwise, the cake or gift may be held at the factory for
pick up.
Requests for Morning or Afternoon Delivery
We will make every effort to honor requests for morning or afternoon
delivery, or even a specific time whenever possible. Changes to the Delivery Date or Time
Generally speaking the factory will call the receiver of the gift to
confirm availability and location. If the receiver and baker coordinate
a preferred delivery date or time other than the date requested on the
order, with or without notification to you, the order will still be
considered appropriately fulfilled.
Delivery Times Outside of Normal Business Hours
Normal delivery hours for bakers are between 9 am and 7 pm. Requests
for delivery outside the normal delivery times will incur an additional
charge if possible. We are unable to guarantee
delivery time.
Exceptional Delivery Requests
We are happy to do all we can to ensure an enjoyable cake delivery experience,
even with extreme requests. However, our prices reflect standard delivery
situations, and exceptional delivery requirements can be quite costly
if it is even possible for us to make the arrangements. If we are able
to meet your request for a delivery outside our normal service, an additional
charge to offset these expenses will apply.
Delivery Address
The delivery address and phone number are critical to the delivery.
Please confirm the recipient's address and phone number including
apartment number, area code, and zip code prior to placing your order.
We are unable to deliver to P.O. Boxes. Receiver mobile phone
numbers are helpful for coordinating deliveries. Please provide as much
information as possible on the delivery location including the name of
the business, building, office complex, suite number, floor number,
building number, subdivision or community name, apartment complex,
dorm, hospital, retirement or assisted living facility, funeral home,
or school.
Special Ingredients/Food Allergies
Many people have serious food allergies to common ingredients such as
flour, dairy products, strawberries, nuts, etc. If you have any
question about the possibility of a food allergy for your recipient,
please discuss this with the receiver prior to placing your order.
Custom Shapes and Sizes
Custom shapes and sizes may be available. Special pricing will apply.
Freehand Art, Themes or Logos
Special pricing will apply to freehand drawing, themes or logos. Our
representative will be happy to discuss options with you.
Decorative Sets and Pre-Printed Images
For children’s parties and common theme parties, we offer several
popular cake decorating sets and pre-printed images at an additional charge.

We request at least two weeks notice on Theme Pack orders. We may be able
to accommodate you in less time, however an additional Rush Fee on Decorative
Sets will apply. Each item is subject to availability in the receiver’s
area, and an alternate version of the same character may be substituted
if necessary.

If you have urgent question regarding a delivery outside of our normal
business hours, please leave a message on our Order Line at 9836-4444.

a particularly sensitive issue. Our company upholds generous customer
