Custom Cakes FAQ
How do I order a custom cake from Happy Hippo Bakery?
The best place to start is the custom order form. Share your date, serving count, flavor ideas, design inspiration, and any pickup or delivery notes. Once I review the request, I’ll follow up with availability, questions if I need more details, and a custom quote.
How far in advance should I order a cake?
I recommend reaching out at least 2 weeks in advance. Weekends, graduation season, holidays, and popular dates can fill up quickly, so earlier is always helpful.
Do you take last-minute cake orders?
Sometimes, but it depends on the week. If my schedule has room, I’m happy to see what’s possible. Rush orders may include an added fee.
Where is pickup?
Pickup is in Hutto, Texas. I’ll share the exact pickup details once your order is confirmed.
Do you deliver cakes?
Limited delivery may be available to nearby areas like Hutto, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Taylor, and Georgetown, depending on the order and my schedule.
What cake flavors do you offer?
Standard flavors include vanilla, chocolate, funfetti, and brown butter. Premium flavors like lemon, Oreo, carrot, red velvet, and German chocolate may also be available. If you have something specific in mind, please feel free to ask.
Can I add a filling to my cake?
Yes. Fillings can be added for an additional cost. Popular options include strawberry jam, salted caramel, lemon curd, birthday cake crumbs, and chocolate ganache.
How much do custom cakes start at?
Custom cakes currently start at $70 for a 6-inch cake, $90 for an 8-inch cake, and $120 for a 10-inch cake. Final pricing depends on size, flavor, filling, design details, and timing.
