HOW IT WORKS old

Location & Pickup

Currently, Bakes of Carmel offers a convenient pick-up location in the heart of Carmel (We do not have a storefront). Our address is readily accessible on our website and Google, ensuring a seamless experience for all our cherished patrons until our dream storefront becomes a reality.

As Bakes of Carmel currently operates as a pick-up-only bakery, we don’t keep items readily available. However, on occasion, you might find a few extra treats on hand—simply give us a call to try your luck!

At Bakes of Carmel, all of our buttercreams are crafted as luscious American Buttercream, made with pure, premium butter for an indulgent taste experience. For those with special dietary needs, we also offer allergy-friendly alternatives upon request, ensuring every guest enjoys the perfect sweet touch.

Currently, cookie pick-up days at Bakes of Carmel are reserved for Mondays only, unless you’ve placed a custom order of over one dozen and more. We accept orders for our decadent, 6-ounce New York-style cookies from Monday through Saturday, with each batch ready for collection on the following Monday, ensuring you receive the freshest cookies straight from our oven.
We do NOT offer Decorated sugar cookies of any kind at this time

Customizing Design terms and conditions

We may not create an exact replica of your requested design. While we aim to closely replicate your chosen design, exact matches may not be possible. Our focus is on achieving a similar or even enhanced version of the concept. Additionally, colors and shades may differ slightly from the photos due to natural variations in materials and lighting. By placing a custom order with Bakes of Carmel, you graciously acknowledge and accept our terms. Thank you for trusting our creativity and expertise!

Size and servings

At Bakes of Carmel, we offer three delightful cake sizes: Mini (serving 8–10), Small (serving up to 20), and Medium (serving up to 30). For custom cakes, we create ONLY Small and Medium sizes to ensure every detail meets our high standards—please note, Mini sizes are not available for custom orders.

While we provide information regarding serving sizes, please be aware that this is not a guarantee. The actual servings may vary based on the portions you choose to serve.

If your order is placed less than a month before the event, we kindly ask for full payment at the time of ordering to ensure timely preparation for your celebration.
