What sets BestBakes! apart?

every single item is handmade in small batches by me, HP!

all items start with high quality, locally sourced, organic ingredients from farm fresh eggs to artisan unbleached flour to the quality, fair trade chocolate that I use.

all orders are made to order and baked fresh just for you. I also generally abstain from using artificial dyes unless it's a seasonal item or otherwise noted.

you pay for quality, we aren't the cheapest but we are the Best-Bakes around.

plus, any inspiration for your custom cake, including photos, your colour palette, and any other elements you want us to incorporate! 

Hi, I want to order this exact cake! Can you make it exactly like the photo?

NO! We do not make exact replicas of other artist’s cakes. That's no fun! 

Instead, send us some inspiration! all photos sent over will be strictly used as inspiration, and all cakes will be decorated in our style. we urge you to send over a colour palette you like and include details of what you want included on your custom cake. such as buttercream texture, cake shape, different colour buttercream, or even the type of borders you’d like. we understand letting go of control is tough, especially when spending your hard earned money, but you're in good hands! the best cakes are the custom ones! 💜

Do you offer anything for special diets?

we sure do! we offer plant based, gluten friendly, sugar free, and keto! gluten friendly is not suitable for individuals with celiacs disease as our kitchen is not wheat free.

we also offer options with NO artificial dyes!

Do you offer cake tastings?

certainly! search “cake tasting” on our site.

Do you have a retail space?

we do not have a retail space at this time, but we occasionally have “Walk Up Window Days” where you can walk up and buy freshly baked, ready to go items. we post on social media when the window is open, so please follow us!

this doesn’t apply to custom orders, they can be picked up from our walk up window. pick up information is sent when order is ready for pick up.
