Instructions for Cake Orders or Quotes (Non-Wedding)
How much notice is needed?
A week or more is preferred, and orders will be accepted anytime the schedule isn't filled. Cakes for any occasion may be locked in weeks and months ahead. Sooner is better.
What to do
PREFERRED METHOD IS TO COMPLETE THE FORM IN THE LINK ABOVE and attach an example photo or sketch. The form has quick checkboxes and asks all the questions needed to quote your cake. This is the method of fastest response. It DOES NOT automatically generate an order - it simply emails us the information needed to email you back with a quote.
Phone calls are returned only during business hours (closed Sundays & Mondays). Phone calls to 803-386-8806 are welcome. Please leave details in a message, starting with when you would need the cake, and how many slices are needed. These are to verify up front that the date is available to make your cake, and to properly size the cake being quoted.
What happens next?
To accept the quote and create the order, just reply back with "yes" or "confirm". After confirmation and payment, all that's left is to pick up the cake! Delivery is available for a fee for cakes of 3 tiers or more only.
When and how do I pay?
PAYMENT IS DUE 1 WEEK BEFORE PICKUP FOR ALL ORDERS (2 weeks for wedding cakes). Instant online payments may be made below, at the bottom of the Home page or on the Payments page. Or request an email invoice, call in debit/credit card payment, mail a check, or bring cash (appointment required).
We look forward to hearing about your event and theme!

Transporting Cakes

Transporting Cakes
The main things to avoid when transporting a cake are unlevel seats, bumps/potholes, jiggling/vibrations, and sudden stops/starts.
Tier cakes should be transported in a FLAT and LEVEL space in your vehicle (cargo area, trunk, floor) with plenty of space for the box. Slanted seats do not work for tier cakes because they tilt the cake sideways, thus increasing instability.
The boxes for tier cakes are usually between 14" and 20" square - please make sure you have this much room cleared. Also, depending upon the design, the height could be too tall for the passenger front floor because of the console above. Please think about the size of your cake ahead of time and plan accordingly. You may need to borrow a friend's vehicle if you drive a small sports car with limited space.
Please clear personal items BEFORE arriving to pick up the cake, and assure no items are positioned where they could fall on/into the cake. When you leave the bakery you will not have a free hand to rearrange vehicle items while you're holding the cake.
Cakes may not be left in the car to run errands without softening/melting when the temperature inside the vehicle exceeds about 75°F.
Cake Cutting
Refrigeration, Freezing
Transporting Cakes
It is difficult to cut cakes precisely by the charts because it is a freehand process, but they are good for understanding how to cut the number of slices calculated for each tier. There are other methods/layouts for cutting, and although most caterers/planners have their own practiced and preferred methods, the slice sizes are approximately equal at approximately 2" deep x 1" wide x height of the cake tier.

Refrigeration, Freezing
Refrigerating cakes before the party/event is not recommended. Moisture in the refrigerator will soften decorations. Also condensation forms when returning to room temperature which can cause colors to bleed and more moisture/softening.
After cutting, leftovers will keep longer if thoroughly wrapped to remove air, then refrigerated or frozen.
