Frequently Asked Questions
-
A. At Sweet Boutique Bakery, we take pride in crafting each cake as a unique masterpiece, and to ensure we can give your cake the attention it deserves, we have a limited number of orders each week. We accept 5-6 party cake orders or one large wedding cake order per week.
Our calendar tends to fill up quickly due to this limited availability, so we recommend reaching out to us at least 8 weeks before your event to secure your date. If you find yourself in need of a cake on shorter notice, we'll do our best to accommodate rush orders if our schedule permits.
For wedding cakes, you can reserve your date up to one year in advance by making a non-refundable retainer deposit. This deposit secures your order and ensures your cake receives the time and care it deserves.
Please keep in mind that availability can change quickly, so once you inquire about a date, be sure to provide final details and arrange payment promptly to secure your order. We collect full payment at the time of the order using Square invoicing.

A. Yes, we do offer a limited selection of vegan products to cater to our dairy and egg-free clientele. For a comprehensive list of these items and their pricing, please visit our dedicated Vegan page. Additionally, we provide the option of Vegan Fondant Decorations to add a special touch to your cakes.
Our pricing for vegan products is based on basic frosted cakes, and custom cakes featuring sugar art are priced according to the specific project requirements. To discuss any unique or personalized requests, please reach out to us via email, and we'll be delighted to assist you in bringing your vision to life.

**Important note: When you opt for a dairy-free frosting, please be aware that Sweet Boutique Bakery utilizes Earth Balance or Miyokos butter substitutes. These substitutes have a lower melting point of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit, in contrast to regular butter, which melts at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Consequently, it's essential to keep these cakes cool to maintain their quality.
