Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I ORDER?

Ordering is easy! Just click the ORDER NOW button at the top of the page and choose the product you want. I will confirm your order or get your custom order quote within 48 hours of your inquiry. For Quote Requests => Once you accept the quote, you will receive an email with online payment instructions and a payment schedule. 

​

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO PLACE MY ORDER?

My days are filled with lots of commitments, so I appreciate as much time as possible to prepare for your order. I prefer at least 1-week's notice for Signature Cake/Cupcake/Sweet Treats orders. For custom orders, 2-weeks' notice is preferred (at least 6-weeks' notice for weddings) in case items need to be ordered for your design. Ordering is always subject to my availability, so plan ahead if you can!

 

DO YOU HAVE A STOREFRONT WHERE I CAN JUST PICK UP A CAKE OR DESSERTS?

No. All of my creations are made-to-order. I do not keep cakes or desserts on hand.

​

CAN I PROVIDE MY OWN CAKE DESIGN?

You can bring your design for custom cakes, and I will work to customize it to your style and needs. I will exercise artistic license if necessary to guarantee the structural, visual, and creative integrity of your order. Exact color matching is not always possible, so a color scheme is preferred. If you need inspiration, please checkout some of my previous designs. 

​

CAN YOU MAKE MY CAKE EXACTLY LIKE THIS CAKE I SAW?

I will do as much as possible to bring about your vision, but I do not infringe on or plagiarize the work of other cake artists. You can still upload pictures that you would like me to use for inspiration, and I will customize a design that is entirely yours. I will exercise artistic license if necessary to guarantee the structural, visual, and creative integrity of your order. Exact color matching is not always possible, so a color scheme is preferred.

​

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A TASTING?

Tastings are not held onsite. I offer a Taster Cake Box and a Taster Treat Box containing samples that are packaged and available for pickup. This way you can freely enjoy with friends and family without the pressure of having to make a decision right away. Once you decide on a flavor and want to move forward with your order, just contact me at info@mamajbakes.com. 

​

DO YOU OFFER DELIVERY AND SETUP?

Delivery/Setup is recommended for orders of $500.00 or more. The Base Fee is $25.00. Locations greater than 20 miles roundtrip will cost an additional $1.00 per mile. Mama J Bakes is not liable or responsible for any damage to the order once delivery/setup is complete.
