Our Policies
A little information to help make every sweet moment go smoothly.
Thank you for choosing The Cake Café. Please review the information below before placing an order. If you have any questions or special requests, please contact us before placing your order.
Ordering
Please place your order at least 5 days in advance. Review your order details carefully, including the product, quantity, flavor, size, personalization, and requested delivery date. Orders are subject to availability and confirmation.
For custom cakes or special requests, we will confirm design details and pricing before production begins.
Prices marked “Starting at” are base prices. The final price may vary depending on the design, customization, and complexity of your request. Please contact us to confirm pricing for personalized orders.
Payment
All orders require a 50% deposit before we reserve the production date.
The remaining balance is due on or before the delivery day. Online payments are processed through the secure payment options available at checkout.
If you cancel your order, your deposit will be forfeited.
Changes
To request a change to your order, please contact us as soon as possible.
Changes depend on how far along we are with your order and whether ingredients or decorations have already been prepared. We will confirm whether the requested changes can be accommodated and whether they affect the final price.
Delivery Details & Timing
We offer delivery only, serving the greater DC metro area.
Please contact us directly before placing your order to confirm delivery to your address, delivery fees, and timing, and to set up your delivery arrangements.
