Cake guide
Can you write on a cake? Names and messages
By Saule Soltanova, Co-founder & Head Baker
Published · Updated
Yes — you can add up to 60 characters of writing to any whole cake on our menu, at no extra charge. Order it at least the day before pickup: writing is never done the same day.
How to add writing to your cake
- Choose your cake on the menu and a pickup day that allows writing.
- In your cart, type the message in the box under that cake. Each cake gets its own message, so two cakes can say different things.
- Check the spelling. Our bakers write it exactly as you type it — every letter, capital and punctuation mark.
How far ahead to order
Writing on a cake needs a full baker shift, so we can't do it the same day — the soonest is the next day we're baking. Our bakers work Monday through Saturday and there is no Sunday shift. In practice:
- For Tuesday through Saturday, order by the day before.
- For Sunday, order by Friday.
- Ordering on a Saturday or Sunday, the soonest writing is Tuesday — we are closed on Mondays.
If you pick a day that is too soon, the order page tells you the soonest day we can write on the cake.
Message ideas that fit
60 characters counts letters, spaces and punctuation. A name and a short greeting fit easily:
| Message | Characters |
|---|---|
| “Happy Birthday, Mia!” | 20 of 60 |
| “Happy 5th Birthday, Amira!” | 26 of 60 |
| “Eid Mubarak” | 11 of 60 |
| “Congratulations, Sam!” | 21 of 60 |
| “Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad” | 28 of 60 |
| “Welcome home, Daniel!” | 21 of 60 |

Quick answers
- Is writing on a cake free?
- Yes. Writing is free on every whole cake and never changes the price.
- Can you write on a cake today?
- No. Writing on a cake needs a full baker shift, so we can't do it the same day — the soonest is the next day we're baking.
- Can I order on Saturday with writing for Sunday?
- No — there is no baker shift on Sunday, and Saturday's shift is already taken by earlier orders. For a Sunday pickup, order by Friday.
- What if my message is longer than 60 characters?
- The message box holds up to 60 characters, so shorten it to fit — "Happy Birthday, Mia!" reads better than a long greeting that won't fit on the cake.
- Can I check what will be written?
- Yes. Your order tracking page shows the writing on each cake. If something is wrong, call us at (832) 520-2040.
