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.
Wedding cakes / Custom Cakes more than 30 servings.
For wedding cakes, we welcome advance orders anywhere from a year to a week before your special day, depending on the number of servings. For cakes serving over 30 guests, our pricing is based on a per-serving rate, allowing us to craft a cake tailored to your vision and guest list.
To secure your wedding cake order, a deposit of 50% is required at the time of placement. The remaining 50% balance is due one month prior to your special day. 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.
