Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I book my order with FinaLee?
Most to all of our communication is done via email, to place an order please fill out an inquiry at the Contact page.
Please send in photos of the desired cake/ cupcake design, as this will help us provide you with a quote. Please note that FinaLee does not directly copy or replicate cake/ cupcake designs. All photos are used as inspiration. 

If you would like to move forward with your quote, a non-refundable deposit or full payment of your order total will be required to complete your booking.

Please note that we do not take tentative bookings. Your order will only be booked once you receive a quote and we receive your non-refundable deposit/ full payment along with a signed contract.

Are there any fees for requesting quotes?
FinaLee will provide up to three complimentary quotes upon request. A $20 fee will be applied for any additional quotes. To receive a quote, please fill out the inquiry form on our Contact page.

Is there a set price for custom orders?
All cake/ cupcake orders are considered custom orders, therefore pricing will be different. Pricing for all custom orders is based on cake/ cupcake size, the complexity of cake/ cupcake design, and the level of detail required. Our minimum rates are available on our Order page. To get a quote, please fill out our inquiry form on our Contact page.

Why is there a limit to cake tier stacking?
Due to kitchen limitations, we can only accommodate up to two stacked tiers for our Celebratory cakes. For stacking Petite cake tiers, please inquire about our stacking limitations. To see our cake sizes and dimensions please visit our Order page. To supplement additional cake servings, we recommend ordering multiple cakes or cupcakes.
