Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This FAQ contains information that is specially compiled for orders of bespoke cakes, desserts and dessert tables, which require lead time to prepare and stricter temperature conditions to store.
**** Placing an Order ****

A minimum 5 days notice is required for most cases.

Complicated, special, or bulk orders may require longer time of preparation. Some festival dates or holiday seasons can be very popular that you may only secure a slot about 3~4 weeks in advance.

Whether an order can be taken on that date is subject to the slot availability. Although we will try our very best to sync up the information, the available slots displayed in this website may not reflect our actual availability.

For orders placed for advance future date of more than 1 months, a deposit of 70% equivalent of the product cost is required. The balance is to be paid 1 week prior.

For all other orders, the collection/delivery slot will be confirmed only if full payment is received.

Depending on the party size, you should choose an appropriate size of cake based on our size chart below (for full height cakes only; lesser servings expected for shorter cakes and custom shaped cakes),

If you have a party size that is more than 30 pax, please plan carefully to decide whether it is absolutely necessary for everyone to have one slice. Our recommendation is always to go for 70% of your total party size if it's more than 30.

1 Size of measurement is based on the diameter of a cake.

2 Weight information is indicative based on standard height of Art Cakes with Signature Fruit flavours (with fruit cubes inside). The weight of a cake can vary drastically with the chosen flavours due to the different cake base and fillings within.

3 Please note the above information is collected based on our standard height (about 4in or 10cm in height) Art Cakes to our best knowledge. You may always have more servings or less by slicing the cake smaller or larger.

For other gourmet/standard cakes, 20% lesser servings should be expected for those shorter cakes with single layer filling.

To achieve the necessary artisanal effect as illustrated by the design, food grade colouring will be used for cake coating (the exterior coating buttercream).

We do not recommend to consume those coloured buttercream to avoid possible stain on your teeth, hands and clothes even though it is safe to do so.

In our fresh cream cakes, we do not use any gelatin to stablise our cream. Hence they require stricter cold storage conditions.

If your party group can take eggs and dairy products, our cakes are friendly to your party group.

However, gelatins may be used in achieving certain artisanal decorative effect/designs. It may be a good idea to check with our customer service crew to confirm if a particular design may contain gelatin to decorate the cakes.

NEVER smash a cake for fun unless you have informed us the cake is intended for smash purpose. If a baby-smash cake or a fun-smash cake is required, please highlight your request to our friendly customer service crew and we will deliver a cake as needed.

Otherwise, Warning on Supporting Structure (possible sharp objects within): Some complicated designer cakes including its figurines and decorations may contain supporting structures within. These supporting parts can be sharp and SHALL BE REMOVED before the cake can be consumed.

We appreciate your understanding to collect your order at nearest drop-off point or concierge area.

We usually reserve 3-hour window for delivery and delay can be expected due to traffic and weather conditions. Delivery at a specific timing cannot be guaranteed but we always try.

Hand made cakes take time and effort to design, create and decorate. Hence, collection timing is estimated and sometimes delay is expected if there is an overrun from prior orders in busy days.

If you're coming to collect instead of delivery, you're strongly advised to call the shop 30 minutes in advance to confirm whether the order is ready to avoid any disappointment or unexpected waiting time.

Phototaking is not a promised service.

Kitchen can be super busy in a packed day. Picture is usually taken for an order upon ready but sharing of the picture to customer may be challenging.

Sometimes pictures may be taken and shared at later timing. Please note that pictures shared are for reference only and the cake is final with the actual product delivered/collected.

If you have any unsatisfaction or dispute over the cake design, please feel free to contact our post-sale service at (+65) 8899 5358 within 30 minutes upon receipt to provide your feedback. We are sorry for being unable to assess the root cause of design mismatch or damage after 30 minutes due to many factors beyond our control.
