Cake Ordering Guide
Thank you for considering WhiskPastryNYC for your upcoming celebration. I take immense pride in designing bespoke, one-of-a-kind confections that serve as a centerpiece for your most memorable moments. By sourcing only the finest premium ingredients and maintaining a strictly "from-scratch" kitchen, I ensure that every cake is as delicious as it is beautiful.
To guarantee the highest level of craftsmanship, I recommend placing custom orders at least two weeks in advance. For large-scale events or weddings, a three-month notice is preferred. Below, you will find a guide to our most frequently asked questions. Should you require further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at info@whiskpastrynyc.com.

Aside from the basic information asked in the Cake Order Form, I would love to make this cake as customized for you and your event. I dedicate myself fully to each creation, ensuring impeccable quality and reflecting the premium, personalized service I provide to every client.
From the initial inquiry, please expect an email where I’ll request for additional details within 48 hours and we can start on customizing your order.
Please keep in mind that all orders are still subject to availability, there are limited spots available and most clients book at least a month out. The request form does not guarantee an order.
We offer wedding cake consultations to discuss couples needs, taste cake samples, and learn about the different options we offer including sheet cakes, edible souvenirs and dessert spreads.

Please note that we are a home-based micro bakery. I only make a limited amount of cakes per week and we are booked pretty quickly. Assembly of all WhiskPastryNYC products takes multiple days to complete. Please allot at least a minimum 2 weeks - 1 month notice for cakes.
An additional 20% rush fee will be applied to your invoice for orders placed less than 2 weeks in advance.
Placing your order:
Fill in details for our Custom Cake Order Form. We will get back to you via email, and confirm your event date plus additional details
We will then confirm a day to set up a design consultation (email, virtual calls or in person meetings can be discussed)
Reservation:
To reserve your date, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required up front after preliminary consultations. An inquiry does not guarantee a booking until a deposit has been made.
Remaining 50% of the balance has to be fully paid the week of pick-up and we can also confirm and finalize any additional details needed.
Pick-up
Local pick-up in Sunnyside, Queens in most preferred at no extra cost.
Delivery
We can arrange a delivery service and discuss prices based on distance from our studio in Sunnyside, Queens

Design Guide
WhiskPastryNYC specializes in creating custom cakes as unique as you are! We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream for most of our cakes, offering a range of designs from sleek and modern to beautifully floral and whimsical. Have a specific vision in mind? We welcome your design requests and will work with you to bring them to life. Due to copyright laws, we can't exactly replicate cakes from other artists, but we can create something equally stunning and original.
Each custom cake is crafted with the finest ingredients, and pricing reflects the intricate details of its design. Sugar flowers, edible gold, and other handcrafted embellishments are priced based on the cost of materials and the artistry involved.

Rescheduling & Order Changes
We understand that plans can change! If you need to adjust your date or order details after confirmation, please contact us immediately. We will do our heart’s best to accommodate your request; however, changes are subject to availability and may incur a rescheduling fee to cover logistical adjustments.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
Creating a custom cake is a multi-day process that includes sourcing premium ingredients, structural planning, and dedicated design time. Because we reserve your date exclusively and often turn down other commissions to do so, the following refund schedule applies:
14+ Days Before Event: Full refund of payments made, minus the 50% non-refundable booking fee (which covers administrative costs and initial design consultation).
7–13 Days Before Event: 50% of the total order value will be refunded. At this stage, specialized ingredients have been sourced and production schedules are locked in.
Less than 7 Days Before Event: No refunds or credits can be issued. By this time, your bespoke creation is already in production—including baking, filling, and structural handiwork.
