Overview

Most disputes in a home bakery come down to something nobody wrote down: when the deposit is due back, how late a design can change, what happens after the pickup window. These eight documents put it in plain English, from ordering and cancellations to allergies, photos and a cottage food notice.

There's a separate contract for weddings and events, covering venue set-up, the final count deadline, rentals and fresh flowers. Thirteen message scripts help with the awkward conversations, like price questions or a late pickup.

Questions

What should a custom cake contract include?

The order details, deposit amount and due date, the deadline for changes, your cancellation terms, pickup or delivery arrangements and an allergy acknowledgment. The custom order agreement and terms cover each of these.

Is there a separate wedding cake contract?

Yes. The wedding and event cake contract adds venue set-up, the final count deadline, rentals, fresh flowers and cancellation.

Can I edit them in Google Docs?

Yes. The files are Word documents that open in Word, Pages and Google Docs.

Are these contracts legally binding?

They're templates written to be clear and easy to edit, not legal advice. Rules differ by state, so check yours or have a lawyer look them over.
