ordering a cake from Meg Makes Cakes

How Much Are Your Cakes?

Each cake we bake is unique and the price based on the complexity of the design.

How do I order a cake?

To start the order process, visit our contact page and include the following information.

• time and date of your event
• the occassion of your event (Wedding, Birthday, Bat Mitzvah)
• the delivery address and delivery time
• how many guests will be served
• your phone number
• some ideas about your cake design

What's your payment policy?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your order and the remainder is due at least two weeks prior to your event. Your order is not confirmed until we have received a signed contract and 50% non-refundable deposit.

Payment can be made by cash, check or credit card though paypal. Cake orders placed with less than two weeks notice require payment in full by credit card at the time of ordering. Deposits are non-refundable.

If you cancel your order, your balance payment is refundable provided Charm City Cakes is notified at least five (5) business days prior to the event. There is no payment refund on orders canceled within five (5) business days of the event.

Design appointments are not mandatory but are held for most cake orders. There is a non-refundable $50 deposit required for appointments. The $50 deposit will be deducted from the final cost of your cake.

Event dates are held for you through the date of your appointment or quote, and five (5) business days afterwards. If we do not receive a signed contract and 50% deposit within five (5) business days of your appointment or quote, your date will not be reserved.

Do you ship cakes?

Sorry, We don't ship our cakes

Can I come and watch you work?

No. Every cake we make is handcrafted to order, and while that makes for some really spectacular cakes, it doesn't leave us with a lot of time for visitors. We won't get anything done with people stopping in to watch. We do realize that every one of our customers is special, but we simply do not have the time or resources for visitors.

Are you hiring?

We are not hiring at this time

I have a question about cake decorating, my school project, starting a business, culinary school, ect.

We wish we could answer every question we get in personalized detail. However, due to the large number of emails that we recieve, it's simply not possible and we can't answer questions about these topics.

If you're looking for cake technique info, check out the books Confetti Cakes by Elisa Strauss, Cake Art by the Culinary Institute of America, Cakewalk by Margaret Braun, and Cakes To Dream On by Colette Peters. The web forums at www.sugarbuzz.us and www.cakecentral.com are also wonderful resources.
