FAQ
Reader questions
How far in advance should I place my order for a weekend event?
For tiered or highly detailed designs, ordering three or more weeks ahead is recommended. Standard sheet cakes can typically be reserved with two weeks' notice, while simple cupcakes or bars may be confirmed one week prior.
Can Buddy's Cake accommodate a strict gluten-free requirement?
Yes, the kitchen offers gluten-free vanilla and chocolate cake bases and can prepare buttercream alternatives without gluten-containing ingredients. Note that shared facilities may pose minimal cross-contact risk, so advance notice is helpful.
What should I do if I need to adjust the number of guests close to the event?
Contact the studio as soon as possible to revise the order. Buddy's Cake often adjusts portion counts or serving formats, though premium ingredients and rush changes may affect pricing or final design complexity.
Do you offer delivery for orders placed outside your local zone?
For areas beyond the standard 25-mile delivery radius, Buddy's Cake can coordinate through vetted third-party couriers. Clients are responsible for associated fees and timing, and the studio recommends confirming structural integrity for long-distance transport.
