How it works

The small details

A few things worth knowing before you send a design our way.

How far in advance should I inquire?+

Signature cakes need 3–5 days notice. Grand cakes need 5–7 days. Tiered cakes need at least 7 days. The earlier the better — we keep our calendar small on purpose.

How does ordering work?+

Design something you love in the studio and send it to us. Within 24 hours we'll reply to confirm availability, share a personalized quote and send a deposit link.

Is there a deposit?+

Yes — a 50% deposit reserves your pickup date and time. The remaining balance is due at pickup. Deposits are non-refundable since each cake is handcrafted to order.

Where do I pick up?+

Pickup is in Mountain View, California. We share the exact address once your order is confirmed. We don't currently deliver.

Are the cakes really eggless?+

Every cake is 100% eggless and small-batch — no compromises on flavor or texture. Custom dietary needs (gluten-free, vegan) can sometimes be accommodated; please mention it in your inquiry.

Can I send a reference photo?+

Absolutely. Add it in the notes of your inquiry. We'll create a Golden Whisk interpretation in our signature aesthetic — slight artistic variations are part of what makes each cake one of a kind.

What if I don't see exactly what I want?+

DM us on Instagram at @goldenwhisk.bake — we love a creative challenge.
