Most cake requests are delivered Monday through Friday during regular business hours (8AM-5PM). We also try to schedule cakes throughout the Austin area; however, depending on partner organization need, this is not always possible. Please review a sample monthly cake delivery schedule, found here, for a typical distribution of delivery dates, times, and locations. *

I have reviewed the sample schedule provided and would be willing and able to bake and deliver cakes during those times and locations.
