Whether you're a seasoned cake expert or a custom cake newbie, we've compiled some helpful info to guide you through your cake design journey...
DATE OF EVENT
​
So you're planning an event! If you're like me then you've probably got a "to-do" list a mile long. But at the top of that list should be nailing down the date. When it comes to designing and ordering your cake, the sooner the better. For custom birthday or celebration cakes it is recommended to order 4-8 weeks in advance. This ensures that decorations, flowers, fondant, and cake toppers can be ordered and made in time. Please note that we are closed Monday's and Tuesday's, and are closed for all statutory holidays.
If your event requires a large or intricate cake requiring delivery, it is recommended to order 3-12 months in advance. This is especially true for wedding cakes. In addition to many hours in the kitchen and design room, wedding cakes typically require on-site assembly.
Cake & Crumb typically books a maximum of two weddings per weekend. So make sure you book early!

​
SERVING SIZE
​
Deciding how much cake to order can sometimes be confusing. We typically quote cake based on industry standard serving size, which most people find rather conservative. For this reason, we break down our serving size chart into "Cocktail Servings" and "Party Servings". For large events, such as weddings, we suggest ordering cocktail servings for 60%-75% of your guests:
