Frequently asked questions

We ask that you allow us at least 2 weeks to prepare your cake. This gives us time to order in any ingredients we may not have on hand. We are a small operation, and only take a limited number of cake orders each day, so it’s best to call as soon as you can! For larger, tiered cakes, we ask that you call a month or more in advance.

The best way to get ahold of us is through our contact page (www.mckaylamariesweets.com/contact)on our website. We’ll respond as soon as we can!

Our buttercream is made with real butter, so it’s important to keep it refrigerated! Bring it to room temperature 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to soften. Any leftovers can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator, wrapped tightly. The fridge will dry out your cake quickly after being cut! We don’t use any preservatives, so if you aren’t planning on eating it all right away, the freezer is your best bet!

Yes! We have a cake fridge right inside of our front door. We keep a small selection of cakes in it each day, as we like to make them fresh. They usually are smaller cakes, feeding about 8-16. Call before stopping in to see what we have on hand!

Currently we only offer 6, 8, or 10 inch round cakes, as well as tiered cakes. We strive to make every cake a piece of art, rather than something you could find at a grocery store. We don’t offer sculpted cakes, due to the overwhelming time commitment they entail (and they make a lot of cake scraps, and we don’t like wasted cake!)

Due to copyright, it is actually illegal for bakeries to print or frost someone like Elsa or Mickey Mouse onto a cake. Many large grocery store chains have permission to use trademarked characters, but we do not.

Most items in our bakery can be frozen! Specifically, cake and macarons do well in the freezer, as long as they are wrapped tightly. Please remember that everything tastes best when it’s fresh from our case!

As of now, no. However, most of our macarons are naturally gluten free.
