Can You Advance-Order Your Favorite Cakes Plus Cake?
Cake Plus welcomes and encourages advance orders. As a general rule of thumb, the sooner you can order a cake, the better. The orders come in fast and heavy and, if you’re wanting a perfect cake, the cake decorators will need time to map out their design.
Cakes including fondant, especially, should be ordered in advanced giving the artists plenty of time to mix the perfect coloring and texture for your masterpiece!
Cakes Plus Does Not Ship Their Products
Cakes Plus is only available to those who are shopping within their delivery or pick-up area.
They do not ship their cakes because the company is committed to delivering the freshest and best-tasting cakes every time. Since freshness and cake quality can not be guaranteed when shipping through third-party companies, they have simply eliminated the option.
If you want one of these fabulous cakes for your event, you might have to drive a little ways to pick it up. Trust us, though, that the cake will be well worth the effort.
If You’re Feeling Adventurous – You Can Also Order Cake Components
Inside the 4,000 square foot cake shop, you will find not only cakes for sale, but also all of the many components needed to make a cake of your own. If a creative bug has hit you, you can buy everything from cake flats and boxes to fondants and other ingredients.
Cakes Plus will also sell you a “naked cake” to design all on your own if you feel like cheating a little. This is an excellent choice for those who want to save money by decorating their own wedding cake.
