​

I/We may not eat all of the Mason Jar Cakes right away. How can I keep them fresh until we're ready to enjoy them?  ​

Mason Jar Cakes preserve well in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks and in the freezer up to 4 months! Allow them to sit at room temperature for at least one or two hours before enjoying!

​

Allergens

​

Products may contain major allergens: milk, eggs, tree nuts, wheat, and/or soy (as a byproduct of ingredients used). For products that do not contain nuts, every precaution is taken to prevent cross-contamination; however, all items are processed with shared equipment and baked in a kitchen that contains wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts and tree nuts, .

​

Where can I find nutrition labels for your products?

​

Nutrition labels are not available for mason jar cakes, mini sour cream pound cakes, cookies, and brownies at this time. However, the process has been started to obtain nutrition labels for all products available for shipping nationwide. In the meantime, you can find an ingredient list at each flavor profile when you visit my Etsy Shop. NOW AVAILABLE: See detailed ingredient statements for cookies here.

​

According to the guidance of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), nutrition labels are not required until a small business (or business selling your products) reaches a certain threshold of annual food sales, annual gross sales, annual product volume, and/or employs a particular number of FTEs (full-time equivalent employees). For more information on this subject you may view the Small Business Nutrition Labeling Exemption Guidance here.

​

Custom, Large Event, & Corporate Orders

​

Do you only design buttercream cakes?​

​

I no longer create cakes covered in fondant, nor do I make edible flowers from gumpaste anymore. However, if some simple design elements will benefit from the use of fondant or gumpaste, I will make adjustments to the design accordingly.

​

Do you deliver?

​

Yes! I will deliver orders of $200 or more in the Fort Wayne, IN area at no additional cost. All other orders must be retrieved from the designated pick-up location in your area. I will provide pick-up details upon receipt of the order.

​

How far in advance do I need to order?

For custom, large event, and corporate orders, please try to order at least 4 weeks to 6 months in advance. Last minute orders needed within 7-14 days of contact will be considered based upon orders previously scheduled for the date requested.

​

How will I know if my order is confirmed?

​

For custom, large event, and corporate orders, please wait for communication to confirm that I am available to complete your order on the date requested. 

​

Can I bring payment when I pick up the order/when the order is delivered?

​

For custom, large event, and corporate orders, please be mindful that orders are not booked on the calendar until full payment is made.

• For orders over $250, a non-refundable 25% or min. $100 deposit will reserve your date, but full payment must be settled at least 4 weeks prior to the date needed.

​

How late can I cancel an order?

​

All custom, large event, and corporate orders should be canceled no later than 4 weeks in advance. In the case of a cancelation, your deposit will be forfeited. 

 

All other orders are non-refundable and will be fulfilled as purchased through the Shop.

​

I/We may not eat all of the cake/desserts right away. How can I keep them fresh until we're ready to enjoy them?  ​

​

If custom celebration cakes or desserts will not be enjoyed the day of pickup/delivery, I recommend placing the cake/desserts in the cooler until at least a couple hours before serving. Leftover cake can remain at room temperature for up to 3 days for the optimal buttercream experience. However, if the cake is garnished with fresh fruit, do keep the cake covered in the fridge, away from odors, until you are ready to consume.

​

Note: Preservatives are not used in any product of Tameka's Cakes & Desserts. 

​

Do you loan out cake stands to your customers?​

​

Yes. Cake, cupcake, and multi-tiered dessert stands are available for a fee, with a refundable deposit. Rentals should be returned within 72 hours after the event.
