The Cake Sculptress may be able to take rush-orders (less than 2 weeks' notice for large cakes, less than 1 week for smaller orders); however, since there is no guarantee that rush-orders will be accepted, it is highly recommended that you place your order with as much notice as possibleFor orders placed less than 2 weeks before the event, full payment is expected at the time the order is placed. If your rush order is accepted, an additional fee may be applied. 

 
   Payment can be made in cash or check. Orders $100 and over will require a 50% non-refundable deposit to officially place the order and reserve your date. The remaining balance is received at delivery, if not sooner. If full payment is not received, you will not get your order, NO EXCEPTIONS.
 
   Delivery within 10 miles from Dennis, MA center (zip 02638) is included in the price for orders over $30.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
 
How do I place an order?
   You may call or e-mail to place an order. See contact page for more information.

How soon do I need to place an order before my event?
   Wedding cake and large specialty cake orders can be made no less than a month before the event, though three to six months' notice is preferred and recommended to reserve date. Other cake orders and large orders must be placed at least 3 weeks prior to the event.  Most brownie orders can be accomodated in as little as five days. Please contact me to see if rush-orders are being accepted; an additional charge may apply. 

Where do I pick up my cake/order?
   All orders will be delivered to your home/event, or a specified meeting place.

Why doesn't The Cake Sculptress have anything with peanuts or nuts?
   As a mom of a child with these allergies, I know how hard it can be to find safe baked goods.  I do not hesitate to give my son anything I make; however, because I may not be as strict as other parents with what ingredients I use, I cannot guarantee totally peanut- and nut-free products. Please call or e-mail for further information on this topic.
