Ordering a Custom Cake at Petit Delights - Complete Guide

Ordering a custom cake should be a joyful experience—something that adds excitement to your upcoming celebration. At Petit Delights, we’re here to make the process easy, collaborative, and completely tailored to your vision. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or any milestone worth celebrating, this guide walks you through what to expect when ordering a custom cake with us.

Step 1: Gather Your Inspiration

Know What You Love:
Start by collecting photos or references of cakes that match your style. Pinterest, Instagram, or even party invitation designs are great sources of inspiration.


Step 2: Plan Your Booking

Minimum Notice:

  • Custom cakes start at $75, with a minimum one week’s notice required for most designs.

  • For wedding cakes, we ask for at least one month’s notice to ensure every detail is just right.

Last-Minute Orders:
We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, but they are subject to availability. If you need a cake the same week, we highly recommend contacting us between Monday and Wednesday. Please note: we do not respond to messages Friday through Sunday due to high production during those days.

Quote Validity:
Once we send you a quote, it is valid for two weeks. Pricing may vary slightly based on market conditions or ingredient availability.


Step 3: Request a Quote

To help us provide an accurate quote, please include the following in your request:

  • An inspiration photo or reference image

  • Number of servings

  • Cake flavor (let us know if it needs to be vegetarian or eggless)

  • Message or writing you’d like on the cake

  • Desired pickup date and time

  • Let us know if the cake will be used the next day or if you’ll be traveling more than 20 minutes, so we can advise on stability and storage

Response Time:
Please allow up to 24 hours for a response. If you haven’t heard from us, don’t hesitate to call our front store at 416-321-0001.


Step 4: Finalize Your Cake Design

Flavor Selection:
Our classic flavors include:

  • Chocolate

  • Vanilla

  • Red Velvet

  • Confetti

  • Chocolate-Vanilla alternate

We also offer premium flavors and fillings upon request for an additional charge.


Step 5: Pickup & Handling

Pickup Location:
All custom cakes are created at our Morningside location. 2130 Morningside Ave Unit 1, Scarborough, ON M1X 2E5

Transportation Tips:
If you’re picking up your cake:

  • Keep it cool and stable, ideally on a flat surface like a trunk or floorboard (not a car seat or someone’s lap).

  • We’ll give you clear instructions on handling, especially for multi-tiered or delicate cakes.

Storing Your Cake:
Cakes meant to be consumed the next day should be refrigerated overnight and brought to room temperature about 1-2 hours before serving.
