How far in advance should I order?

All cake orders are taken on a first come with retainer, first served basis. Our calendar typically fills up 2 to 4 weekends in advance. Weekdays are a bit more open. However, please be aware there are times of the year when we are extra busy for wedding seasons, graduations and holidays and we book weekends up to 6 weeks out. That being said please contact us as soon as you know your needed date. Please see our ordering policy below for rush fee information.

We spoke a few weeks ago and you said you were open for my date, why is it no longer available?

We receive multiple inquiries daily for cakes. We advise each customer this is NOT a guarantee of availability. The only way to guarantee your date will be available for you is to pay  the 50% non-refundable retainer.  


Your retainer payment should be made WITHIN 24 hours OF RECEIPT OF INVOICE, with the balance due on or before the DUE DATE. The retainer will guarantee your order. Any invoices which are sent and a retainer is not received will be cancelled and the slot will be open to the next inquirer.

How do I book an order?

If you place an order more than 2 weeks in advance, the retainer required is 50% of your total including tax. The balance will be due on or before pickup/delivery. Retainers are NON-REFUNDABLE as we close the slot availability once a retainer is paid and turn away orders once all slots are full.

If your are placing an order with less than two weeks notice, you will be required to pay the balance in full.


By paying your retainer, you also agree that if your order has not been picked up within 12 hours of your scheduled time, and no other arrangement has been made by you in writing for pickup, and confirmed by us, that How Sweet It Is Cake Studio & Dessert Shop reserves the right to sell your order to the first available buyer. You also are agreeing that your retainer and or payments received by You, the ordering customer and/or the purchasing customer if any, WILL NOT be refunded and  credit cannot be applied towards a future order. Exceptions to this policy for extenuating circumstances MAY be made at the sole discretion of How Sweet It Is Cake Studio & Dessert Shop.
