GENERAL QUESTIONS
Usually 1–2 business days.

BAKED BEFORE MOST REASONABLE PEOPLE ARE AWAKE.
INBOX / SOMEHOW STILL MANAGEABLE
QUESTIONS · ORDERS · ODDLY SPECIFIC SITUATIONS
Cakes, catering, wholesale, ingredients, preorder questions, pickup problems, or something involving an alarming number of morning buns.
01 / ROUTE YOUR QUESTION
Picking the right route helps the bakery answer without forwarding your message around like an office printer nobody admits to owning.
CAKES
Start with the cake desk for sizing, flavors, lead times, and request details.
Cake desk → 02CATERING
Offices, events, breakfast spreads, meetings, and quantities that need planning.
Catering desk → 03WHOLESALE
Cafés, hotels, restaurants, markets, and other businesses needing regular supply.
Wholesale desk → 04PREORDER
Check preorder options, cutoff information, and pickup details before sending a general message.
Preorder desk →02 / MESSAGE INTAKE
“Hi, cake?” technically contains words, but we can do better.
03 / AFTER YOU HIT SEND
Mostly normal human communication. Revolutionary stuff.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
Menu questions, future plans, general availability, and requests that do not involve something happening in the next forty-five minutes.
CURRENT ORDERS
Names are useful. Order numbers are more useful. “The box with pastries” describes a concerning percentage of our workload.
SAME-DAY PROBLEMS
If your pickup is today, something changed urgently, or you are currently standing outside holding a cake sideways, use the phone.
LARGE ORDERS
“We need breakfast for the office” and “we need breakfast for 180 people next Thursday” are technically related statements with very different consequences.
04 / OLD-FASHIONED COMMUNICATION
Particularly useful for same-day pickup questions, urgent order changes, or situations where typing an essay is making everybody's life worse.
MESSAGE DESK / READY WHEN YOU ARE
The straightforward part was probably already answered on the FAQ page.
