CAKE Amsterdam – FAQ

Q: Your cakes look great, but do they also taste good? 

A: They taste great too!  I put as much attention into the taste of my cakes as the attention to details on the outside.  You can contact me for references if you don’t have any yourself! 

Q: How can I get a price quote for a cake?

A: Unless ordering a standard design cake, most orders are custom made, please email me for a quote.  Please note, I DO NOT GIVE PRICE QUOTES OVER THE PHONE.  I need to calculate my costs before giving price quotes.  Contact me for a quote via phone or email and I will gladly email or call you back to discuss your order over the phone once I've had time to consider your cake desires!  ;-)  Email is my preferred medium of communication and you will get a quicker clearer response.


You are also welcome to make an appointment with me to come to my Cake Studio to discuss your order!  

CAKE Amsterdam EAT CAKE Studio - Westzaanstraat 5h 1013NB Amsterdam 

Q: How much time do you need to make a cake?  Help, I need a cake for tomorrow!

A: I ask that clients order at least a week in advanced.  You are always welcome to contact me, I may have availability. Last minute orders (note : orders within a weeks notice are considered to be last minute to me) are however subjected to a surcharge.  ;-)


Q: I want a custom cake for 5 people, and have a budget of 20 euro & want it to be delivered in Amsterdam?  

A: Delivery charges in Amsterdam city center start at 15 euro for small orders during the week.  Sorry, but your budget of 20 Euro is not realistic for ordering a custom cake with CAKE Amsterdam, I do however have a standard design cakes starting at 50 euro.  Please visit this link for more info... Standard Design Cakes.

Q: Can I taste your cakes before ordering them?

A: Tasting appointments by appointment only and for cake with budgets of 200 euro and higher.  During this hour we can discus all the design details, the logistics of your cake order & service and you will get to taste various samples of cake.  

Q: How do you price things?  I am not sure what I am paying for?  At a normal Dutch baker I can get a cake for 30 people for 60 euro.

A: That might be true, you can also order a cake from the HEMA for even less.  Everything I make is custom made and in some cases using seasonal ingredients, so prices are subjected to change.  I use only the freshest & finest of ingredients and myself and my team make your cake personally from start to finish.  I work together with you to come up with completely unique design ideas for every cake/order!  I calculate the total product costs & our hourly cost when making a quote.  You can request a break down of this when ordering with me, I will gladly share this info with you.

Basic break down is... base cake price per serving is 3 euros a serving + decorating time which I charge 25 euro an hour.  My cakes take anywhere from 1 hour - 10 hours to decorate depending on the design. 

I am a cake professional designer and maker with over 10 years experience and over 5 years with my own business.
I'm confident that once you've tasted my cakes and experienced first hand the amount of time & service I provide you with, you'll agree!  And better yet, we design and create the cake together, so you have a one of a kind edible work of art!

Q: Do prices include BTW and delivery?

A : Most prices include 6% sales tax but NOT delivery.

Delivery in Amsterdam starts at 15 euro and ranges up to 30 euro depending on the size of the order and where it needs to go.  Evening and Saturday deliveries are also 30 euro.  Pick up is also available by appointment from our workspace in the Westzaanstraat free of charge.  21% BTW on delivery is included in your delivery quote.  Larger orders and some wedding orders receive an all inclusive package deal, with cakes & rentals and delivery.  Ask about these options.  

Q: Can I cancel my order? - ORDERING POLICY

A: For larger orders above 300 euros, once an order is confirmed by me and you’ve received an ORDER CONFIRMATION email, it can be canceled FREE of charge up to 2 weeks in advance.  If an order is canceled within 2 weeks a fine of 25% will ensue and you the client will be billed.

For orders under 300 euro can be canceled FREE of charge up to 1 week in advance.  If an order is canceled within 1 week a fine of 15% will ensue and you the client will be billed.

Last minute cancellations within 3 days of order will be fined the full amount of the agreed upon price!

Any order above 150 euro requires a down payment of 15% or payment in full at least a week before the order/delivery date.  

Last minutes changes... once an order is confirmed and you have received a CAKE Amsterdam ORDER CONFIRMATION email, it can be changed/altered up to a 3 days in advance for the same agreed price or more, but NOT LESS.
 
CAKE Amsterdam reserves the right to make last minute design alterations if we see fit.  It is important to us that you receive the best possible product... and sometimes what seemed like a good idea on paper is different when it's in the creative process... so if we need to make a design change in the best interest of you and your cake... we will do it ;-)
