Frequently Asked Questions

The answers to a majority of our FAQ’s can be found on our order form— but we’ve placed a few of our most commonly asked questions here, too!

  • Our custom orders open on the first of each month, for the following month. (For example; September orders will open on August 1st).

    To see the menu and options, please check out our custom orders tab!

  • Our wedding bookings differ from our standard custom orders! We book weddings up to a year in advance. Please send us an email at hello@saintstreetcakes.com to chat all-things wedding; we’ll send over our menu and rates. We recommend booking your wedding cake as early as possible!

    We also offer monthly tasting boxes for weddings.

  • Our non-custom cakes available in the case daily cannot be reserved in advance, and are first come first serve every day. The flavors vary daily, and we cannot guarantee a specific flavor combo being available on any specific day. If you want to pick up a mini or a full size cake, we recommend getting to the bakery close to opening, or coming early on a weekday!

    We offer 3 cake sizes in the shop:
    - 4 inch: serves 2-4
    - 7 inch: serves 8-10
    - Full size undecorated cake: serves 10-15 (these cakes are the full versions of our seasonal slices— see the Menu tab for flavors!)

    We do not make vegan or gluten free decorated cakes outside of our custom orders. If you are interested in a decorated vegan or GF cake, you can submit a custom order in the “Custom Order” tab!

    Cake Martinis, similarly, cannot be reserved in advance, and are also first come first serve every day. The flavor is Espresso Martini— layers of chocolate cake with mocha buttercream. YUM!

  • If you are waiting more than 6 hours after receiving your cake to dig in, please refrigerate your cake in its original box. If the cake will not be eaten for at least 48 hours, place the cake in the freezer, and defrost the cake in the refrigerator overnight the day before eating. Cakes can come out of the refrigerator 2-3 hours before serving. Most of our cakes are counter stable— the refrigeration/freezing is to preserve the color and stability of your custom design!

  • The best place in a car for your cake is on the floor— either in front of the passenger seat, or behind the passenger seat. Single tier cakes can travel in someone’s lap, as long as they are sure to keep the box flat (not at an angle). Two and three tier cakes should travel on the floor, not in a passenger’s lap.

    During the warmer seasons, please ensure that your car is kept cool during transport to protect the stability of the buttercream!

  • Yes! We offer Uber Package as a delivery service for custom orders, and offer personal delivery for large orders (such as weddings and photoshoots).

    Pricing is based on distance from our location in Fort Greene. We’ve delivered to East Hampton, the Catskills, New Jersey, and more; shoot us an email to inquire about large order delivery!

    We always recommend that large orders and tiered cakes are delivered by our experienced team!

    For smaller cakes, we recommend that you or a friend picks up the cake directly, to ensure that it makes it home safe and sound. For Uber Package, once your cake is in the hands of the driver, we are no longer responsible for its condition.

  • We do not currently offer same-day services for custom cakes. All of our non-custom cakes in our case are first come first serve, and cannot be delivered.

  • We do offer cakes and treats that are vegan, and have a few treats that are gluten free!

    While we take great care in preparing our cakes, please note that we are not an allergen-certified facility. Nuts, flour, eggs, and dairy are all processed and used in our kitchen daily. As such, we cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contamination. If you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, we recommend that you consult with us directly before placing an order to ensure we can accommodate your needs to the best of our ability.

  • All of our cakes are frosted and decorated with buttercream— NOT fondant— to prioritize taste and texture! With our unique flavor options and combinations, we’ve found that fondant is too overwhelmingly sweet for our liking, and we like to stick to the hundreds of years long tradition of all-buttercream decorating.
