At Sweet Themes Bakery, we are proud to offer moist, delicious cakes, freshly baked for you using quality ingredients including an Italian Meringue-style butter cream and high quality butter and eggs. Cakes are customized to your specific request and made fresh to order.
About our custom cakes
Our cakes are 2-full cake layers that are torted (4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling 4 inches tall). Each custom cake order is presented on an attractive sturdy cake/drum board in the color of your choice to match your cake. We only specialize in ROUND cakes. We DO NOT make carved, shaped, cut out, sculpted cakes or cupcake cakes. See a gallery of our cakes here.
When should custom cake orders be placed?
We ask for at least one to two weeks’ notice for all custom orders, depending on the level of difficulty and how many servings you are requesting, to be placed on our calendar along with full payment. This is not a guarantee that there will be availability to get your order on our calendar since we are usually booked out a few weeks in advance. We do encourage early ordering to ensure your order can be accommodated and we do our best to accommodate last minute requests when possible.
What will the price of my cake be?
There are many considerations we look at when quoting a price for your custom cake. In addition to the cake size, we look at the level of detail (labor) required to produce the end result in addition to the amount of time required to make your cake. If the cake is minimal in detail the price typically remains at the base price. However, if there are intricate details and numerous flowers or other custom details the price will more than likely be higher. Standard decoration is included i.e. top & bottom borders, writing, flowers. Other decorating options are available for an additional charge i.e. butter cream piped designs, decorated sugar pearls and sprinkles, fondant cake draping, fondant cut out decorations, gum paste flowers, etc. Please contact us for tiered cake pricing.

How can I order a custom cake?
Currently, we are only accepting orders via our online Custom Cake Quote Form for all custom cake requests. Filling out an order quote form does not commit you to ordering nor confirms your order. Once your quote form is received Sweet Themes Bakery will make every effort to contact you as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that we might not get to quote requests received on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays as we are closed on these days. Orders are not confirmed until details are verified, a quote is given and payment in full is received.
ALLERGY/SPECIAL INGREDIENT REQUESTS
Even though we are a specialty bakery that takes custom orders, we do not offer bakery items that are Gluten-Free, sugarless, dairy free, egg free or VEGAN. Sweet Themes Bakery produces bakery goods that use flour, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, peanuts and/or tree nuts and we do our best not to cross contaminate work surfaces. However, if you are concerned about any type of allergy, we strongly advise against placing an order.
