Pickup and Delivery Options

 

As a reminder, Raleigh Cakes is not a retail/store front bakery
All online store orders require 3 day lead time, everything is scratch made to order, just for you


We are a licensed and insured commercial cake studio and all of our cakes are made to order, from scratch, just for you. We do not maintain inventory of ready made cakes or desserts for same day delivery or pickup.

Raleigh Cakes offers free pickup in North Raleigh through our trusted business partner Monday through Saturday 11:30am to 9pm with no appointment necessary, along with delivery within and out of Raleigh. (With exception for holiday closures)

We do not offer Sunday pickup or delivery except for weddings or catered events. Please plan ahead for pickup on Saturday.

Our cakes stay fresh and delicious in the fridge for 2-3 days, so pickup/delivery can be the day before an event without worry.
