Sometimes we do, it depends on the type of orders we have already booked. We certainly want to make sure our attention is foremost with our current orders, therefore we do not want to overbook which could potentially cause us to rush through orders. We like to take our time and make sure your order is perfect, so book in advance is my advice.

We always suggest booking right away once you have figured out your event date. Even if you are unsure of your theme, you can still place your retainer fee to secure the event date. We tend to fill our schedule up extremely fast and are limited to a certain amount each event week. So to answer this better, whether your event is a year away or a month away, it is never to soon to book.

Our products may come in contact with milk, wheat, nuts, soy, and other allergens. It is your responsibility to notify your guests and hold us harmless to any allergic reaction. Garnished Cakes products may contain inedible materials, such as plastic accessories, floral wire, wooden/plastic dowels, etc. We are not responsible for injury or illness due to the ingestion of said materials.

If you order a cake, I will be happy to accommodate any requests regarding treat tables. I am very flexible with the items I am able to create.

If you are looking to get a quote for a cake, the fastest way to do so is to use the Inquiry link. For all other questions or issues, you can use the Contact page. Sadly, since I work solo its harder for me to stop and answer the phone at all times. Email, text and messaging works best.

I wish there was an easy answer to give you regarding pricing. However, with most of our edibles everything is custom and based off a few additional factors. Therefore, we will be more than happy to provide you a custom quote. It helps to provide the information below; 1. Photo Inspirations 2. Servings 3. Budget Visit our Inquiry link if you wish to learn more about pricing for your order.

Get in contact with us right away and let us know the new date. We will try our best to accommodate you, however the new date may not be available and we will need to figure out a more suitable date for you that works for both parties.

We encourage you to place your orders as early as possible. However, we understand that time has a way of going into fast forward. If we can, we will hire extra staff in order to accommodate last minute orders and keep the ovens burning. Please take note that changes to your invoice placed after these deadlines are also considered rush order, especially cake flavors and major design changes.Days are counted on the calendar. Holidays and non business days are included. Please plan accordingly. If we are able to accept your order less than a week in advance, the following rush order fees will apply: 1 or 2 calendar days notice, add 30% 3 calendar days notice, add 25% 4 calendar days notice, add 20% 5 days notice, add 15% 6 days notice, add 10%

It is to my discretion whether I want to proceed with your order. It is certainly nothing personal, however it can depend on what is being ordered and the design. As an artist we like to challenge ourselves and create edible art pieces that we truly enjoy. Therefore, I may pass on an order and accept a different order from another client that may be more challenging to me as an artist. Sometimes it isn't about the money being paid, its more so I want to enjoy my job and be happy with what I am doing.

This can get very complicated and theres no fun answers here. Due to insurance that we must pay for each year pertaining to food licensing etc. Garnished Cakes does not permit other vendors to mix with their sweets. To make this more clear, I am going to give you an example. VENDOR A provides the cake, VENDOR B provides the cupcakes. Everyone at your party ends up with food poisoning or is extremely ill. The client wants rectification for the issue, however, which VENDOR is at fault? So with that, when you choose to have an event think about getting all your stuff in once place to make it more simple on the Vendor. Not all vendors have these stipulations in place, but not all vendors follow food and safety guidelines as we do.

Not at this time, but possibly in the future. You can catch handy little demo's on my Facebook and Instagram. Soon we will have a full site dedicated to new demo's and tutorials.

In most cases, we are able to capture the essence of a cake, but not all cakes are created exactly the same way, and our artistry may differ from what you have seen in a picture. We encourage you to send us pictures of cakes you like so we can incorporate various themes to make your creation as unique as your event.

Unfortunately not, I am not a storefront bakery.

Yes, we have a purchase minimum of $165. When you order with Garnished Cakes, expect to meet or exceed the minimum requirement. Why $165 you ask? Well, because we are a home baking business we typically don't have items through the week for people to come in and order. Therefore, we must meet our overhead quota which allows us to be selective with the orders we decide to book.

All orders must be picked up by the date/time listed on your invoice unless we have previously discussed other arrangements. Not being on time can result in forfeiting your item(s) and forfeiture on the amount paid for the order. We often book pick-up and deliveries back to back so it’s very important to keep the time you schedule. We have implemented a $15 fee if 15 or more minutes late (without notice), it will automatically be charged to the CC that you initially use for your order. If you are late, you also may miss your pickup time and will need to rearrange a different time for pickup. We may be unable to wait for you to arrive due to a delivery timeline etc.

Payments must be made within 2 days of receiving your invoice to secure your event date. Otherwise your order will be cancelled. Your order is not guaranteed as we book on a first come basis. If another client books first and our schedule becomes full, your order will be cancelled. This will apply even if you are still within your 2 days which is why we always suggest securing your event day right away. Unfortunately, we do not hold spots on our calendars without a payment.

We do not refund in the event of a customer cancellation. However, we can credit your account for the paid amount which can be used on a future order. Keep in mind when you book we block off that date and will turn other orders down.

We typically ask for 24 hours to reply, however we strive to provide faster responses. Sometimes emails may go to spam on either end. We always ask that you add our email to your address book (hello@garnishedfoods.com) in order to make sure you receive our emails. If you do not receive a response within 24 hours, email us right away and let us know you sent an inquiry. Emails from you guys sometimes get lost in spam as well.

Click on the Inquiry link and submit the form in full. Give as much detail as possible in order to get the most accurate quote.

I prefer to gather as much information from my clients prior to any phone call so I can be more accurate with quotes and/or information given. When having all pertintent information prior to calling it helps with being more efficient and precise.

Yes, you can expect to pay a 50% deposit of the total amount on your order. For larger orders over a certain amount, we do try to work with you and break that percentage down a bit more, but again it does have to meet a certain amount. Retainers are non-refundable and non transferable. Please note, the retainer is to secure your date only. Your order is NOT complete until the balance is paid in full.

It is your responsibility to read thoroughly through the invoice to check for any mistakes especially regarding the following; date of event, time of pickup or delivery, cake flavors, general information details which include, but not limited to NAMES and WORDING.

Once we have established that you are OK with your quote, selected your flavors and gave us details regarding your order, we will create an invoice using the information you submitted on your inquiry.

In the event you experience any issues with your order you must contact us within (1) day of the event. In these instances we will ask that the cake be returned so that we can sample and/or make any judgements necessary regarding your dissatisfaction. After 24 hours have lapsed, we will not entertain any issues there after. This clause does not guarantee or warrant a refund, we will simply take in to account and sympathize with your request and decide on the proper outcome. Our #1 priority is our customer satisfaction, therefore we will do everything we can to make sure we are fair. You must also take into account that every baker/store will be different and use different products. There should be no comparison to what you have previously had especially if it’s a product that we did not create.

We fully intend to continue with orders regardless of most situations. However, either party may choose to be excused of any further performance obligations in the event of a disastrous occurrence outside the control of either party, such as, but not limited to: - A natural disaster (fires, explosions, earthquakes, hurricane, flooding, storms or infestation); or - War, Invasion, Act of Foreign Enemies, Embargo, or other Hostility (whether declared or not); or - Any hazardous situation created outside the control of either party such as a riot, disorder, nuclear leak or explosion, or act or threat of terrorism. In the event there is a cancellation due to a pandemic or inclement weather you will not receive a refund, instead you will receive a credit for the purchase amount to be used at a later date of your choosing.

Absolutely. We will not proceed with your order unless you complete the form and submit it for our records. You will also receive a copy for your records as well. If you have already paid your retainer/payment, we reserve the right to refund and cancel your order if you do not submit the T&C.

No, you don't need to provide any images. However, having an image helps us to understand your vision more. We do have the ability to create you something custom, but some clients do have a set design in mind. BUT you must note that we prefer not to copy images and instead would like to put our own spin on the design.

You can make changes such as colors and other small requests a week before your delivery/pick up date. If you choose to change your theme altogether, we may not be able to accommodate those changes IF we have already purchased items for your order.

Yes, we have a fee of $35 for delivery within 30 miles of our location in Cordova. Any additional mileage would incur fees. If you prefer delivery, let us know so we can make sure to add it to your order.

Your event is now booked with us and we will be in contact closer to your event date to ensure every detail is still accurate and you will receive additional information pertaining to pickup or delivery. You can also contact us freely and will be provided with our contact information on your invoice.

In some instances, she may be able to refer you to someone else, however depending on the time constraints that may not be possible. Therefore, the owner or another representative will attempt to make connect within 12 days, but with some of the emergencies listed above, sometimes only 1-7 days is possible or less. With that said, a full refund will be issued as fast as possible. Lastly, the time frame of the refund may be anywhere from 1-2 weeks depending on the severity of the emergency and note, if you paid in increments they will be refunded in the order received and in those increments.

This amount will automatically be charged to the original card in which you paid your retainer fee. We reserve the right to cancel your order if your balance is not paid by the due date.

We are unable to refund payments to a different card.
