How far in advance should you order a cake?
Two to three days for most cakes, a week for large events. Here is why, and how to avoid missing your date.
Crumbix kitchen
For most of our cakes, two to three days' notice is enough. For large events and detailed custom work, give us a week.
Why a cake needs notice
We bake to order, never from a shelf. Your cake is made after you order it, for the date you need, so the notice is the time it takes to plan, bake, cool, fill, decorate and set it properly. Rushing any of those steps shows.
The 8pm cutoff
Orders placed after 8pm start their count the next day. An order at 9pm on Monday is treated as if it arrived on Tuesday morning.
When to give more time
- a tiered cake or a wedding cake
- fondant work, figures or a detailed theme
- a large quantity of cupcakes, brownies or cookies
- dates around Eid and wedding season, when we fill up early
If your date is too close
Message us on WhatsApp anyway. We cannot promise it, but sometimes a simpler design can be ready sooner, and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Paying to confirm
Every order is paid in advance by Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank transfer. Your date is held once the payment is confirmed, so paying early is the surest way to keep it.
