01

Getting the cake there matters too

From the moment it leaves us, your cake needs to stay cool, level, and unjostled on the way to the event.

Let us know about travel time, stairs, outdoor setup, warm rooms, and whether the cake will sit out for a while before it's served.

02

Ask before changing the setup

Buttercream, fondant, toppers, edible images, fresh flowers, and layered cakes each cope differently with heat and a bumpy trip.

If the cake will sit outdoors or travel far after pickup, ask what finish and timing are safest.

Questions about this topic

Can I collect the cake myself?

Self-pickup is offered, but discuss transport for larger or more delicate cakes.

Should I mention outdoor display?

Yes. Outdoor display, heat, sun, and long display windows can affect what finish is practical.
