questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED
How far in advance should I place an order?
As soon as you have a date set or as a general guide:
· 6-8 months in advance for weddings (peak season March-May & Sept.-Nov.)
· 2+ months ahead for other celebrations
· at least 1 week+ in advance to book a tasting
However, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute orders depending on our current availability. For orders placed within one week of the event date, a rush fee will be applied.

$350 for weekday celebrations | $750 for weekends | $1000 Weekend-Monday holidays
Do you make Faux-Tier cakes in lieu of a real cake?
Yes, we offer faux-tier cakes (minimum 2 tiers). For extra servings, we also provide kitchen cakes—these are round, frosted cakes with minimal decoration, perfect for serving alongside the main cake. *NOTE: Kitchen cakes are not displayed with your centerpiece cake.
Do you make sugar free, nut-free, vegan or gluten free?
Most of our cakes can be made gluten-free. *Note: While some flavors are nut-free, please be aware that our kitchen is not nut-free. We take precautions to keep ingredients separate, but our products may contain traces of nuts. We do not offer sugar-free, keto, or vegan options at the moment.
Can I pick up my cake?
We offer order pickups for cakes for 1 or 2 tiers or desserts orders only. Our cakes are carefully prepared for travel with internal support for stability. For pickups, we suggest placing the cake in the trunk space of your car or on the floor with the air conditioning on high to help keep it cool. Delivery is highly recommended for cakes with multiple tiers due to their weight and fragility. *NOTE: Sweet Pea Cakery LA is not responsible for any damages post-pickup or after onsite setup.
Do you have a retail shop?
Sweet Pea Cakery LA is a licensed private studio located in La Cañada Flintridge, CA, in Los Angeles County. We proudly operate as an online bakeshop under CFO Permit No. LA19F230046.
