We can help you create the perfect cake for your most special day. Most people have probably never ordered a custom cake, so we’re here to help you create your own unique wedding cake, not one picked out from a book of other people’s wedding cake pictures. Your cake will be custom designed for you so feel free to mix and match elements, colors, etc. to reflect your wedding.

The consultation will give you the opportunity to share with us all about your wedding so we can get to know you and what you would like for your wedding cake. We suggest that you bring in any elements of your wedding/theme such as invitations, fabric or paint swatches; flower choices and colors; cake, cupcake or dessert design inspirations or anything you would like to include. Custom wedding cakes are priced according to the size, the work involved and complexity of your cake design. A firm quote can be made once we get all of details for your cake and the design elements are finalized.
If you decide to contract with Sweet Themes Bakery, a 50% deposit is required to hold your event date and is non-refundable and non-transferable to another date or person. The remaining balance is due 3 weeks prior to the event date.
Can you make a fake cake or fake cake tiers? Will this save me money?
Sorry but we don’t offer fake cakes or fake tiers on stacking cakes. It is just as much work to make a fake cake or cake tier and will cost the same if not more than having real cake.
Things to consider when planning your wedding reception:
- Be sure the venue has adequate refrigeration space to accommodate your cake and/or desserts.
- Will your caterer cut and serve your cake? Will they charge for cutting per slice?
- What is the earliest time your reception venue be ready for delivery?
- ome venues do not allow outside vendors. This is particularly common with wedding venues. Please check with your venue prior to placing an order.
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.
ARTISTIC DISCLAIMER
All our products are hand-made in house. Decorative finishes are done by hand and are subject to the artistic interpretation of the decorator. It is very helpful if you have pictures for inspiration so we can get an idea of what you’re envisioning. However, we make no claims for exact duplication or replication of the work done by other artists. Per request we can coordinate the color scheme to fit your event theme. If you would like fresh flowers, we will do our best to find the type of flower you would like. However, the flower colors/type will be based on seasonal availability. We reserve the right to take and use our own photos of your cake(s) to use for marketing and promotional purposes without compensation to you.

All custom orders require payment in full to be placed on our schedule, whether your order will be picked at our retail store or prior to delivering your order. Your order is not officially placed until payment has been made in full and is non-refundable and non-transferable. Prices and quotes are set for 30 days and are subject to change as market pricing changes.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUND
Please be sure you want your custom cake before paying for your order. We do not offer refunds, only In Store Credit will be given. Credit amount will depend on when the order has been cancelled prior to your pickup date. We reserve the right to cancel the order if the payment in full has not been received on time.

TRANSPORTING YOUR ORDER
For orders that are not delivered, you are responsible for transporting your order safely to your destination. Sweet Themes Bakery is not responsible for orders once they leave our premises. Keep in mind that cakes are very fragile, and damages can happen if not handled properly, such as cracks, smudges, melted icing, etc. You will need a flat surface in your vehicle, such as the floorboard, so the cake is kept level to be safely transported. Cakes should never be placed on a seat or held in a passenger’s lap. It is best to turn on the air conditioning in the vehicle. We are not responsible for any damage occurring to the custom order during your own transport, set-up, or any time thereafter. We give instructions on how to carry, transport, and store your cake upon pick-up. Sweet Themes Bakery is not responsible for any damage to the cake after delivery or after setup is complete. The customer is responsible for providing an appropriate environment for their order(s).
