Cake Order Form Template: overview of what's included

Overview

Custom orders tend to arrive in pieces: a date in one message, a flavor in another, the allergy mentioned at pickup. These forms ask for everything at the start, beginning with allergies, then the event, pickup, size, tiers, flavors, message, price and deposit, with a line for a signature.

There are separate forms for cakes, decorated cookies and cupcakes and treats, plus a tasting form for weddings and big events. Edit them in free Canva and print the PDF, or email the Word version.

  • Allergies asked first

    The most important question sits at the top of every form.

  • One form per bake

    Cakes, decorated cookies and cupcakes or treats each have their own form.

  • Deposit on paper

    Price, deposit and a signature are part of the custom cake form.

  • Print or send

    Print the PDF, email the Word file or text customers a link.

Questions

What should a cake order form include?

The customer's contact details and allergies, the event date and pickup time, shape, size, tiers, flavors, the message on the cake, the price and deposit, and a signature. The custom cake form has a space for each.

Can I edit the forms without Canva Pro?

Yes. A free Canva account is enough. The custom order form and allergen acknowledgment also come as Word documents.

Is there a form for cookies?

Yes. The cookie order form covers decorated sugar cookies by the dozen, with the theme and packaging.

Can customers fill it in online?

You can text or email them a link, send the Word version by email, or print the PDF for them to fill in by hand.
