Pricing
I do not have a general price list because each cake is one-of-a-kind. Most custom cakes are priced per person; smaller orders are priced per project. Because of the care I give to each order I must require a minimum charge on all of my cakes.

The 5 Most Frequently Asked Questions
1.- How much are your cakes?
Answer:
All of our cakes are individually priced based on the complexity of their design. Given that our cakes are completely custom made, we do not have a standardized pricing list but do have a starting point pricing.
2.- What’s your payment policy?
Answer:
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your order minimum of $25; for cakes over $200 the remainder is due at least one week prior to your event. Your order is not confirmed until we have received your signed contract and 50% non-refundable deposit.
Payment can be made by cash or credit card (Visa, AmEx, or MasterCard, and Discover). Cake orders placed with less than two weeks notice require payment in full at the time of ordering with nor refund. Deposits are non-refundable.
If you cancel your order, your balance payment is refundable provided Main Street Bakery is notified at least thirty (30) business days prior to the event in writing. There is no payment refund on orders canceled within thirty (30) business days of the event but a bakery credit would be issue if you cancel 7 days in advance if your order is less than $250 minus $25.
3.- Do you deliver?
Answer:
Delivery is available for wedding cakes and cakes that require on-site assembly.
Delivery fees are calculated by distance traveled and are roughly between $50 to $120 in Monterey County.
While it is generally not a problem for clients to transport smaller cakes, self-transporting any cake is at your own risk. We do not recommend clients self-transport 3D/sculptural cakes, cakes over 2 tiers tall, or any cake more than 30 miles away and is not responsible for any damage that may occur to any client-transported cake once it has left our bakery. Any changes to the design of the cake would need to be requested at the time of pick up not after that.
4.- Do you offer free tasting?
Answer:
No, but I do offer free consultations (not tastings), during a free consultation I will meet with you for 15 to 30 minutes and go over pricing, design, and other options but remember that our cupcakes are always available for purchase at only $2 each so you don’t need to schedule a tasting to be able to get a quote or taste our cakes.
5.- How much are cake tastings, and what do they entail?
Answer:
Our tastings are $25 and include a variety of sample. A credit card is required to hold your tasting appointment. If you should need to reschedule, or cancel, we ask that you contact us no later than 1 week in advance. During the meeting, we will discuss the design of your cake, so please bring any pictures, invitations etc., that may help us come up with something perfect for your event. The tasting lasts about 1 hour

- Simple sheet cakes are available at About $2 per serving
- Emergency cakes are available at the bakery’s display case at around $24 to $40 each cake upon availability
