FAQs

  • How does the ordering process work?

    Submit an order form online and be sure to leave us with your email or phone number so that we can confirm your pick-up date.

  • Yes! There are far too many anti-racism organizations for us to list out, so please write in the name of the organization you’d like to donate to and we’ll make the donation once we’ve thoroughly vetted them.

  • Our volunteers typically create cakes in two sizes: 9 inch, 2 layer cakes and 6 inch, 3 layer cakes, along with 9 inch pies/full sized tarts. We can also bake cupcakes upon special request. If you would like a cake that differs from our usual sizing, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

  • Our suggested donation is ~$50 minimum for a cake and $40 for a pie or tart. We donate everything except the cost of ingredients which ranges from $5-20 depending on the order. Payment details will be given once you receive your order confirmation.

  • Ideally 2 weeks notice is best practice. However, if you have an urgent need, we may be able to accommodate you. Just let us know in your order form, and we will let you know!

  • Since our volunteers work during the week, we only do pick-ups on Saturdays and Sundays. If you have an occasion another day of the week, let us know in your order form and we will let you know if we can accommodate your needs.
