Allergy and specialty diet considerations
Many menu items are made without or can be requested to be made without gluten-containing or otherwise allergy-free ingredients. Items marked as “gluten-free” are made with gluten-free ingredients, however, Gathered is a mixed-use kitchen that processes nuts, dairy, gluten, and other allergens. We are committed to making every effort to minimize cross-contact risks, however customers with concerns need to be aware of these risks and always be prepared in the event of an adverse reaction. Please inform staff of any food allergies when ordering.
Cake Orders

Booking Timeline:
Online orders can be placed 6-75 days in advance, allowing you to select from available pickup dates at checkout. View our Signature and Designer cake designs and pastries by the dozen for more online options. We usually require a minimum of 1 week notice for cake orders, but are will accommodate short-notice orders when we are able. Larger events begin booking 8-10 months in advance. Fill out our inquiry form to begin the planning process. Choosing a flavor: All our cakes are comprised of layers of cake, frosting (buttercream or ganache), and optional syrup soaks and fillings. Smaller orders are limited to our Signature flavors, but larger orders can choose to mix-and-match cake components. Each winter we offer tasting boxes in anticipation of the upcoming wedding season. These will be listed online when available, but you can also reach out to be notified when they become available. Cake handling: Cakes should be kept refrigerated up until 1-4 hours before serving, and enjoyed at room temperature. Cakes should never be left in direct sunlight or in temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Cake Style Limitations: We work with natural plant- and mineral-derived food colors. Because of this, some colors can be difficult to achieve. While we do our best to match color requests, we do not accept returns or refunds on the basis of expected color palette. Our cakes are all finished with buttercream or ganache and occasionally modeling chocolate accents-- we do not create designs with fondant or gumpaste. Order Changes & Cancellations: Please reach out via email to cancel or update any order details. Online orders cancelled 3-weeks or more ahead of event date will be fully refunded less card processing fees (usually around 3.5%). Cancellations made less than 3-weeks ahead of event may not be eligible for a refund. Please reach out as soon as possible to make any adjustments to your order and we will do our utmost to accommodate. Gender reveal cakes: While we are happy to accommodate color palette requests, as a company policy, we do not make gender reveal cakes. |

Weddings & Dessert Catering
How far in advance should we reach out?
We begin booking Spring/Summer weddings around January each year, prioritizing larger orders ($800+) during the peak months of May-October. We begin booking smaller orders during peak season 75 days in advance. You are welcome to reach out with questions earlier than that, but we will not begin booking consultations or accepting deposits until that time.
Do you offer tastings?
We do not currently have the capacity to offer formal tastings, but we do offer tasting boxes at certain times throughout January-March. Reach out if there is a specific flavor you’d like to try by the slice and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Can you give me a quote for **insert cake/design/guest count here**?
Generally, our custom event cakes start at $9 per serving and go up from there. However, there are a lot of factors that contribute to the final price of a custom order. Please see our Designer and Signature cakes for examples and pricing information. We are happy to provide estimates and updated quotes throughout the planning process, but accurate pricing can be difficult without first discussing the specifics of your order.
What does the booking process look like?
We offer free consultations if you would like to talk through the details of planning desserts for your event. To secure the date of your event, we ask for a $100 nonrefundable deposit. This will be fully credited to your order. From there, we’ll discuss menu options, price quotes, and when appropriate, design drafts, until we’ve settled on the perfect design and selection of desserts for your celebration.
How large is a "portion" and do you offer guidance for cutting & serving cakes?
Cake serving ranges are provided based on standard 2”x2” - 1”x2” portions. We are always happy to provide cutting guides free of charge upon request. If you are interested in booking Gathered for cake cutting service, ask for this to be included in your quote.
Do you rent display pieces?
We have a small collection of stands and platters available for rent with dessert orders. >>View our rental collection>>
