Cake Planning & Ordering
How to Order a Custom Cake in Marysville, WA
To order a custom cake from Simply Caketastic, share your celebration date, guest count, design ideas and budget online or by phone. The online form starts a request—not a confirmed order. The bakery will call to finalize the details and pricing, and a 50% non-refundable deposit is required before work begins.
What should you include in a custom cake request?
You don't need a finished design to contact the bakery. A birthday theme, wedding colors or a photo of a detail you like gives us a starting point. Tell us which parts matter most, rather than feeling you have to choose every decoration before you ask.
Simply Caketastic is at 1357 State Ave in Marysville. We serve customers throughout Snohomish County, Mount Vernon and Bellingham, WA, with pickup or delivery arrangements discussed for each order.

How far ahead should you order a custom cake?
Custom orders need at least 7 days' notice. Rush orders are accepted with a rush fee, discussed when the order is confirmed. Availability still needs to be checked with the bakery.
Cupcakes need 72 hours' notice. If your event includes both a custom cake and cupcakes, discuss the entire order with the bakery rather than assuming the cupcake timeline applies to the cake. For weddings or a date that matters to you, reach out early so we can check availability.
Can you use a photo as cake inspiration?
Yes. Inspiration photos help explain the colors, shape, texture or topper you like. Tell us what you want to keep and what you would change, including the message or birthday number.
A photo is a starting point for a custom design, not a promise of an exact copy or a final quote. The bakery confirms what can be made for your guest count, date and budget. You can preview photos in the request form; the form sends their filenames rather than image attachments, so plan to share the actual photos during the follow-up conversation.
What happens after you submit the online form?
After a successful submission, the website confirms that your request has been sent. The bakery will contact you shortly to discuss the design, serving options, price and pickup or delivery details. You can also call or visit the bakery to start that conversation.
No order work starts until a 50% non-refundable deposit has been received. Sending the online request does not confirm an order; the bakery calls to finalize the custom details and pricing first.
The deposit is paid through a Square payment link that accepts all major credit cards. Delivery is arranged with the bakery once the order is confirmed; fees depend on your location. There is no direct DoorDash ordering link on the website.
