The Blossom Cakery

How It Works

Answers to the most frequently asked questions

How do I place an order?

Using our website, there are two different ways to order a cake and one way to order custom baked goods:

  • our signature cakes, which are already designed and can be lightly customized
  • our custom cakes, which you can design yourself in a modular fashion, combining all the diferent design elements that we offer

To receive your cake, you can pick up your order at our kitchen located in the SoMa district in San Francisco for no charge, or you can choose delivery within San Francisco for $25.

How far in advance should I order?

In general, we are currently booking up about 2-4 weeks in advance, so we advise placing your order a month ahead of your event to be extra safe.

Do you do weddings?

We love to serve weddings. However, we do not offer any tastings or design consultations. Instead, our customers simply place their orders online and we confirm them over email. While not for everyone, this makes for a more streamlined experience.

How does delivery work?

We offer delivery for $25 within San Francisco only. To fulfill delivery, we use a local courier service that has a great track record of delivering our cakes both on-time and in perfect condition. If you are not interested in delivery or you are outside of San Francisco, you can pick up your order from our kitchen in the Mission district of San Francisco for no charge.

What flavors do you offer?

To see what flavors we offer, add a cake to your cart and the options will pop up.

Can I order a fully custom cake?

In our custom studio, you can combine our existing design elements to design your own creation. However, we do not offer any design elements outside of those options.

What is your design policy?

Our aesthetic is modern, minimalist, and precise. This is in response to America's tradition of perpetuating kitschy, traditional, and sloppy cakes. As such, we do not make any replica cakes, such as a cake that looks like a skyscraper.

What is your frosting made of?

Our frosting is made from love.

Are your cakes vegan or gluten free?

No, not yet. Our cakes contain ample amounts of real butter (sorry, vegans) and flour (sorry, gluten sensitive folks).

Do you make cupcakes?

We make everything!

Do you ship nationwide?

No, not yet. Shipping cakes without damage is very difficult, so we do not currently offer that service to ensure that each customer has a great experience.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you cancel within 7 days of the due date of your cake, we charge you the full price of the cake. If you cancel within 14 days of the due date of your cake, we charge you 50% of the price of the cake. If you cancel with more than 14 days of advance notice of your cake's due date, then we offer you a full refund.

What are your hours?

We are open Monday- Sunday from 5:00pm - 12:00am.
