Online order can only be placed at least 48 hours in advance.  If needed sooner, please call the bakery at (202) 450-4462 to see if we can accommodate you.  NEW:  On-line Next day option is available when you “check-out” for additional $15 (pickup) or $30 (delivery) rush order surcharge.

You will be able to select pickup or delivery at checkout.

Please double check the date you choose for either delivery or pickup to ensure absolute accuracy.  We will not assume responsibility, issue refunds, or agree to cancel a processed order due to you inputting the wrong date.  It is your responsibility to contact us immediately at (202) 450-4462 or info@cakeroombakery.com if you have submitted your order with the wrong date.  We will correct the order date upon your advance notification.

Only refrigerate cakes and cupcakes with CREAM CHEESE frosting.  Desserts with BUTTERCREAM frosting MUST NOT BE REFRIGERATED or the cake will dry out.  Leave buttercream desserts out at normal room temperature.

We only take responsibility for deliveries that we make ourselves with our delivery service.  We only attempt to deliver once so please make sure you or your recipient is home during the 3 hour window that you have provided AND answers their phone when driver calls on number provided. If after 3 attempts of calling and customer fails to answer, the driver will return the baked goods to the shop and further delivery arrangements will have to be made and paid for by customer placing the order to have a re-delivery.  The driver will ONLY call upon arrival at your designated location.  Our contracted delivery service will ONLY be able to wait at the location no more than 5 minutes.  We must charge you for an additional wait time if it is needed.  Your request for a 2nd delivery attempt is an another full delivery charge. 

We do not take responsibility for the product once we have left it with the receptionist, front desk or other 3 party person you requested in our door-to-door service. Cakes are delicate and can slip and get damaged with rough handling.  Therefore we do not take responsibility for cakes that you transport yourself or you transport through a 3rd party private delivery pickup service which includes UberEats, Postmates, etc.

 I understand and agree to The Cakeroom Bakery’s NO REFUND policy. Because all items are perishable, ALL SALES ARE FINAL—no exceptions will be made. If you are picking up your bakery items, any corrections or adjustments can be made before you leave the store. If your bakery items were delivered, unfortunately, we cannot make any corrections or adjustments unless the item is brought back to the bakery.

In the event that we misspelled a name or any part of the personalized message it is your responsibility to bring to our attention upon pick up and prior to leaving the bakery.  If it is a delivery order and the mistake is noticed we will refund ONLY the amount you paid to have the inscription piped on the cake.  Please provide a photo of the cake as proof of error on our part to info@cakeroombakery.com.  We apologize for our inscription errors.

If you love it, please tell others and feel free to post a review about it.  If you didn’t love it or had a problem, we would prefer you call or email us directly so we can address it.  We understand that we aren’t perfect and want to have a chance to understand and correct those issues or problems.  In some cases, your input has created new procedures and improvements on our end!  We are always looking to get better.  Thank you!
