Best Practices for Placing a Cake Order

At Cameo Cakes Sweet Shop, we love helping you celebrate life’s sweetest moments. To make sure your cake order is smooth, accurate, and stress-free, here are a few helpful tips before placing your order.

Order Early When Possible

Custom cakes take time to plan, bake, decorate, and perfect. We recommend placing your order as early as possible, especially for birthdays, weddings, graduations, holidays, and busy weekends.

For simple cakes, a few days’ notice may be enough depending on availability. For detailed custom cakes, tiered cakes, sculpted cakes, or large orders, more notice is always best.

Know Your Serving Count

Before ordering, try to have an idea of how many people you need to serve. This helps us recommend the right cake size and style for your event.

Serving sizes can vary depending on how the cake is cut, so let us know whether you are planning for party-size slices, wedding-style slices, or a dessert table with other sweets.

Gather Your Design Inspiration

Photos are very helpful when planning a custom cake. You are welcome to share inspiration pictures, colors, themes, invitations, party décor, or examples of styles you like.

Please note that inspiration photos are used as a guide. Every cake is handmade, so we may create our own version that fits your cake size, budget, and bakery style.

Be Clear About Flavors and Fillings

Choosing your cake flavor, filling, and frosting is one of the best parts. If you are unsure what to choose, our team can help recommend popular combinations.

For weddings or larger events, we recommend scheduling a consultation or tasting when available.

Allergies or Dietary Needs

Please let us know about any allergies or dietary requests when placing your order. While we do our best to accommodate certain requests, our bakery does handle common allergens including wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy.

Have Your Event Details Ready

When placing your order, it helps to know:

  • Event date
  • Pickup or delivery preference
  • Time the cake is needed
  • Number of servings
  • Cake flavor and filling
  • Design theme or inspiration
  • Any writing needed on the cake
  • Contact name and phone number
  • The more details we have upfront, the easier it is to make sure your order is exactly what you need.
Transport Your Cake Carefully

Cakes should be transported on a flat surface, ideally the floorboard or cargo area of your vehicle. Please avoid placing cakes on seats, laps, or uneven surfaces.

Keep your vehicle cool and avoid leaving cakes in direct sunlight or heat. Buttercream and fillings can soften quickly in warm temperatures.

Finalize Changes Early

Changes to cake size, flavor, design, or pickup time should be made as soon as possible. Once your cake is in production, changes may be limited or unavailable.
