Weddings

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
You've come to the right place to start your planning.

Due to Covid-19, Cakes by Christa no longer offers in-person consultations.

Option #1: Pick up the samples in Bryans Road, MD for you to try with your loved ones and make a decision on your own.

I would also provide you with a rating sheet to help you rank your favorites.

 

Option #2: Priority shipping is a great option for busy couples that want to fit a tasting into

their busy schedules. Just add the price of shipping to your tasting invoice.

 

Most samples shipped to DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania will arrive in 1 day.

If you would like more than three flavors, it will be an additional $10 for each flavor. As a bonus, If you place your deposit within one week of the tasting.

  • Delivery Time: The delivery time is an approximate time for your cake delivery.

Actual delivery time may vary depending on the delivery schedule for the day.

 

  • Unavoidable Delivery Occurrence: In the case of an unavoidable delivery occurrence,

such as a car accident, poor road conditions, inclement weather, etc…

Cakes by Christa are only responsible for refunding the price of the cake placed in your order.

 

  • Pick-up waiver: It is our recommendation to always have your cake delivered. Therefore,

if you chose to have your cake picked up, Cakes by Christa is NOT responsible for damage to any cake once

it has left our shop.  Since our cakes are made with ingredients that will MELT IN HEAT and cakes

should never be  left in direct sunlight or in a hot vehicle. Cakes should be transported in a cool

and flat area with plenty of space (the floorboard of a car or backseat is not suggested).

Any repairs or additional cakes will be subject to additional fees.

 

  • Cake Variations: All cakes are custom made and no two cakes will ever be exactly the same.

Cakes by Christa reserve the right to make any changes to the final cake. The cake order form and inspiration

photos are guidelines for colors, design, flavors, and decorations but DOES NOT guarantees the final product.

 

  • Design Confirmation: In any event that there is an error on the cake order form it is YOUR responsibility to make us aware of the needed changes.

Order changes can be made up to 14 days from the event date (additional charges may apply).

 

  • Outdoor Events: Due to the effects of outdoor weather conditions, table on un-level ground,

wind blowing undesirable atmospheric items (i.e. dirt, leaves, branches, sunlight.), insects and other wildlife, products such as icings,

fillings, cake decorations, etc. may not hold up and cannot be insured past delivery and set-up.

 

  • Food Colorings: Food colorings will not match your event colors perfectly.

Cakes by Christa will make an effort to recreate the colors you are looking for but there will be slight color variations.

 

  • Heat: Cakes are made with ingredients that will melt when it’s hot (direct sunlight, inside a car, etc…).

If you have chosen to have your cake displayed in direct sunlight, Cakes by Christa is not responsible for

damage to cakes beyond delivery. If you have chosen to pick up your cake, Cakes by Christa is not

responsible for cakes melting in your car.

 

  • Allergies: Ingredients or machinery may have come in contact with nuts, milk and

wheat products unless otherwise stated on your order form.

 

  • GUARANTEE: Cakes by Christa promises you the best product and service we can provide.

It’s always our goal to exceed your expectations and truly believe a referral is the best compliment.

It is your responsibility to inspect the cake upon delivery and contact us with any concerns immediately.
